In addition, the Act permanently appropriated the first $50 million of such fees to be used for the Essential Air Service program and rural airport improvements. Amounts collected in excess of $50 million are permanently appropriated for authorized expenses of the FAA. The Budget estimates that $100 million in overflight fees will be collected in 1998.

The 1998 request provides for the safety of the public, and the Coast Guard’s work force, with a continued emphasis on critical national security and law enforcement missions. For example, the request includes $354 million for drug interdiction activities, an increase of $34 million over 1997. An additional $33 million for drug interdiction capital expenses is requested in the Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements account. Legislation will be proposed to assess and collect fees from commercial maritime carriers to recover the Coast Guard’s cost of providing domestic icebreaking services, beginning in fiscal year 1999.

Resources from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund are used to finance oil pollution prevention and cleanup responsibilities by various Federal agencies. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Fund may finance annually up to $50 million of emergency resources and all valid claims from injured parties resulting from oil spills. For Coast Guard, this funds the following accounts: trust fund share of expenses, oil spill recovery, and payment of claims. Beginning in 1997, pursuant to the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1996, this fund also finances annual disbursements to the Prince William Sound Oil Spill Recovery Institute equal to interest accrued by the Fund’s investment of remaining funding authorized for the Institute by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. The authority to collect the tax expired on December 31, 1994. Legislation will be proposed to reinstate the authority to collect the tax and raise the fund’s cap from $1 billion to $2.5 billion. 1,149 05.99 07.99 05.03 05.04 05.05 05.07 05.08 05.09 771 04.00 Subtotal appropriation ...................................................

In turn, appropriations are authorized from this fund to meet expenditures for programs specified by law. Excise tax receipts for the Sport Fish Restoration program include a portion of motorboat fuel tax receipts, plus receipts from taxes on sport fishing equipment, sonar and fish finders, and small engine fuel. Excise tax receipts for the Boat Safety program are a portion of motorboat fuel tax receipts. Legislation will be proposed to reauthorize the transfer of certain receipts into the Aquatic Resources Trust Fund.

This funding level represents a nine percent increase for FAA operations relative to 1997, and will provide a net increase of 500 air traffic controllers, 273 safety inspectors and certification personnel, and 200 aviation security personnel. The 1998 budget proposes the collection of $400 million in user fees for services provided by the FAA. Of these fees, $100 million will be available for expenditure without further appropriations action, including $50 million for the payments to air carriers program and $50 million for authorized expenses of the FAA, consistent with P.L. 104–264. The $300 million in new user fees proposed in the budget are an interim measure until comprehensive financial reform is achieved for the FAA. The Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 established the National Civil Aviation Review Commission to propose long-term financing mechanisms for FAA’s operation and modernization efforts. The Administration proposes to transfer the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Aeronautical Charting and Cartography to the FAA. As a first step, NOAA will operate the program for the FAA in 1998 on a reimbursable basis, with the program being completely transferred to the FAA in 1999. 4,657 5,024 5,133 Offsets: Against gross budget authority and outlays: Offsetting collections (cash) from: 88.00 Federal sources ..................................................... 88.40 Non-Federal sources ............................................. –2,260 –20 –1,740 –97 –3,014 –524 88.90 –2,280 –1,837 –3,538 Total, offsetting collections (cash) ..................

Legislation will be proposed to authorize the fees and, upon enactment of the authorization, the appropriations language proposed above will make funds available for expenditure. Because the current requirements of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 make it difficult to fund discretionary programs with receipts that are not authorized in appropriations acts, the Administration is proposing a change in the requirements to facilitate the enactment of proposals such as this one. (Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO) Program and Financing (in millions of dollars) The Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (P.L. 104–264) authorized the collection of user fees for services provided by the FAA to aircraft that neither takeoff nor land in the United States, commonly known as overflight fees. In addition, the Act permanently appropriated the first $50 million of such fees to be used for the Essential Air Service program and rural airport improvements. Amounts collected in excess of $50 million are permanently appropriated for authorized expenses of the FAA. The Budget estimates that $100 million in overflight fees will be collected in 1998, of which $50 million will be available without further appropriation action to fund FAA Operations. In the future, this special fund account will be merged with the FAA Operations account.

This contingent liability will be funded through this account. The proposed funding sustains the current infrastructure and supports the FAA’s plan to modernize and improve the national airspace system. In particular, funds would provide for significant progress in developing the enroute, terminal and tower automation programs, designed to upgrade air traffic control technology; and the continued implementation of voice switching and control system, to modernize the system’s communications network. The Administration supports full funding of multi-year, fixed asset projects as part of an ongoing attempt to improve the cost and performance of agency procurements. To implement the Administration’s full funding policy, advance appropriations are requested for the following multi-year projects, or usable project segments: Aviation Weather Services Improvements, Terminal Digital Radar, Terminal Automation (STARS), Wide Area Augmentation System for GPS, Display System Replacement, Weather and Radar Processor, Voice Switching and Control System, Tower Automation Program, Oceanic Automation System, Aeronautical Data Link, Operational and Supportability Implementation System (OASIS), Northern California TRACON, and Alaskan NAS Interfacility Communications System. This request for advance appropriations is subject to change based on future enactment of FAA financial reform legislation that converts the FAA to userfee financing. An advance appropriation of $100 million in 1999 is requested to purchase additional advanced security equipment to improve security at U.S. airports. The 1997 funds appropriated for this purpose will be expended throughout 1997 and 1998. The $100 million requested for 1999 will continue the Federal effort in this area for an additional year.

The President’s Budget and reauthorization proposals build and improve upon ISTEA’s successes. The President’s Budget maintains transportation infrastructure investment, strengthens transportation safety programs and environmental programs, and continues core research activities. Title 23 U.S.C. (‘‘Highways’’) and other supporting legislation provide authority for the various programs of the Federal Highway Administration designed to improve highways throughout the Nation. In 1998, the Federal Highway Administration continues major programs, including the Surface Transportation Program, the National Highway System, Interstate Maintenance, the Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program, and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program. New programs include the Flexible Highway Infrastructure Safety Program, the Transportation Infrastructure Credit Program, the Intelligent Transportation Integration Program and the National Motor Carrier Safety Program. In summary, the 1998 Budget consists of $22,819 million in budget authority and $20,287 million in outlays. The following table compares 1998 program levels (obligations) with those of prior years. Because project selection is determined by the States, the 1997 and 1998 program levels are estimates.

State Infrastructure Banks are a means of increasing and improving both public and private investment in transportation. The National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 authorized up to ten pilot states to test State Infrastructure Banks (‘‘SIBs’’) and P.L. 104–205 expanded the authorization to all States. SIBs will provide greater flexibility to support the financing of projects by using Federal-aid funds for revolving loans and other forms of non-traditional financial assistance for both public and private entities developing eligible transportation projects. States have shown significant interest in exploring the infrastructure financing benefits offered by this concept. The Department has approved 10 SIBs and is currently accepting applications from additional States. The SIB Program is designed to strategically attract nonFederal funds to increase overall transportation infrastructure investment. A SIB is initially capitalized with Federal funds and non-Federal matching funds. The SIB then uses these capitalization grant funds to assist projects through loans and other forms of financial assistance. As loans are repaid, the SIB funds are replenished and the SIB can provide new loans or guarantees to additional transportation projects. Financial assistance from a SIB provides additional security or credit support for project financing that may result in lower capital costs. To capitalize a SIB, the State may deposit funds into either a highway or transit account or both. To initiate a SIB highway account, a State may deposit up to 10 percent of most of its Federal-aid highway apportionments. To fund a SIB transit account, a State may deposit up to 10 percent of some of its Federal transit capital funds. A State then matches the SIB Federal capitalization funds in both modal accounts at its traditional matching ratio. Once capitalized, a SIB may provide a variety of financial support alternatives to assist a public or private project sponsor during all project stages. A SIB offers a variety of financial assistance which may include loans, credit enhancements, interest rate subsidies, letters of credit, capital reserves for bond financing, construction loans, and purchase and lease agreements for highway and transit projects. A SIB may assist a project at any portion of the project’s total cost. In 1997, State Infrastructure Banks were funded from the General Fund.

The Secretary of the Treasury estimates the amounts to be transferred. In turn, appropriations are authorized from this fund to meet expenditures for Federal-aid highways and other programs as specified by law. The budget proposes that surface transportation activities previously supported by the General Fund be funded instead from the Highway Trust Fund. A payment from the Highway Trust Fund to the General Fund is proposed to be made equal to the funding level for such activities as highway construction projects for the National Park Service, Forest Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, among others. In addition, the budget proposes funding the National Passenger Rail Corporation and State Infrastructure Banks from the Highway Trust Fund. Receipts increased in 1996 because receipts generated by 2.5 cents of the motor fuel tax are deposited in the Highway Trust Fund instead of the General Fund.

All programs included within FAH are financed from the Highway Trust Fund and distributed via apportionments and allocations to States. Liquidating cash appropriations are subsequently requested to fund outlays resulting from obligations incurred under contract authority. The budget proposes to fund most programs from within the Federal-Aid Highway obligation limitation. Emergency Relief and Minimum Allocation programs will continue to be exempt from the limitation. The FAH program is funded by contract authority found in legislation currently provided through 1997 by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA). National highway program.—The National Highway System (NHS) Program provides funding for a designated National Highway System consisting of roads that are of primary Federal interest. The National Highway System consists of the current Interstate, other rural principal arterials, urban freeways and connecting urban principal arterials, and facilities on the Defense Department’s designated Strategic Highway Network and roads connecting the NHS to intermodal facilities. Legislation designating the 161,000 mile system was enacted in 1995. Eligible on an interim basis are an additional 1,925 miles of connectors proposed by DOT in 1996. Surface Transportation Program (STP).—The ISTEA established a new block grant-type program that may be used by States and localities for any roads that are not classified as local or rural minor collector roads. The STP will continue with some improvements. STP funds may be used for transit projects. Eligibility will be expanded to include intercity passenger rail projects only. Bridge replacement and rehabilitation.—The bridge program enables States to respond to the problem of unsafe and inadequate bridges. The reauthorization proposal will consolidate the formula and discretionary bridge programs. The funds will be available for use on all bridges, both on and off the National Highway System, including those on roads functionally classified as rural minor collectors and as local. Highway bridges designated as a hazard to navigation by the U.S. Coast Guard will be funded under the bridge program. Funds will no longer be eligible for transfer to other programs unless certification is obtained that bridges are in good repair. Interstate maintenance (IM).—The IM program finances projects to rehabilitate, restore, and resurface the Interstate system. Reconstruction that does not increase capacity also is eligible. Emergency relief.—The Emergency Relief (ER) program provides funds for the repair or reconstruction of Federal-aid highways and bridges and Federally-owned roads and bridges which have suffered serious damage as the result of natural disasters or catastrophic failures. The ER program supplements the commitment of resources by States, their political subdivisions, or Federal agencies to help pay for unusually heavy expenses resulting from extraordinary conditions. The 1998 Budget proposes programmatic changes to make this program comparable to other similar Federal disaster assistance programs. The mandatory portion of the ER program will be funded at $100 million. 789 The 1998 budget also requests $5.8 billion in contingent funding for FY 1998. This fund will be available to this and other accounts as the need arises. Please see the Emergency Requirements for Natural Disasters account in the Funds Appropriated to the President chapter for more detailed information. The requested amount for 1998 and future years will be based on the average amount of emergency funding under the BEA. The Department of Transportation will have access to the proposed contingency fund once FHWA ER funds have been obligated, and a Presidential decision has been made to make additional funds available. The fund is intended to be flexible enough to respond to a variety of disasters and thus does not reserve or dedicate specific amounts within the total for the eligible programs. This flexibility is essential to meet the full range of disaster funding requirements. Federal lands.—This category includes the Public Lands Highways, Park Roads and Parkways, and Indian Reservation Roads programs. Roads funded under this program are open to public travel. State and local roads (29,600 miles) that provide important access to and within the National Forest System are designated Forest Highways. These roads should not be confused with the Forest Development Roads which are under the jurisdiction of the Forest Service. Park roads and Parkways (8,000 miles) are owned by the National Park Service and provide access to and within the National Park System. Indian Reservation Roads program consists of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (24,000 miles) and State and local roads (25,000 miles) that provide access to, and within, Indian lands. Transportation Enhancements Program.—In 1998, the President’s budget proposes continued funding for Transportation Enhancements. The reimbursement of owners with reversionary property rights along rail-banked corridors will be an eligible activity. Congestion mitigation and air quality improvement program (CMAQ).—The CMAQ program directs funds toward transportation projects and programs to help meet and maintain national ambient air quality standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. A minimum 1⁄2 percent of the apportionment is guaranteed to each State. Flexible highway infrastructure safety program.—Addressing the safety needs related to the highway infrastructure was previously funded by a 10% set-aside from the STP program funds. Legislation now proposes a separate highway safety program which maintains independent allocations for railroad/highway grade crossings and hazard elimination. The ability to flex hazard elimination funds to non-infrastructure activities would be allowed if the State has an integrated planning process. Federal highway research and technology.—The research and technology program develops new transportation technology that can be applied nationwide. The proposed elements of this program include long-term, advanced research; a national technology deployment program to accelerate the implementation of specific ‘‘customer-driven’’ technologies; support for the delivery of new and innovative technology as well as the development of knowledge and skills within the transportation community needed to apply new technology; and, funding for State research, development, and technology implementation. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS).—The ITS program is a cooperative, public/private initiative to research, develop, test, and evaluate advanced electronic systems that can improve the operational safety and efficiency of existing surface transportation infrastructure. Proposed legislation expands and clarifies eligibility under the major grant programs to encompass ITS capital, operations, and maintenance for all infrastructure-based technology and services. Also proposed is an ITS deployment incentive program to provide funding 790 FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION—Continued Trust Funds—Continued (LIQUIDATION OF THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1998 2005 CONTRACT AUTHORIZATION)—Continued Full-time equivalent of overtime and holiday hours 8 8 9 (HIGHWAY TRUST FUND)—Continued to State and local officials to launch integrated Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure components, both rural and urban, and/or the development of commercial vehicle information systems and networks.

The purpose of the program is to provide grants to States to enforce Federal and compatible States standards applicable to commercial motor vehicle safety. In 1998, this program adds a focus on performance. The safety grant program is comprised of basic grants, which support uniform roadside driver and vehicle safety inspections, traffic enforcement, and compliance reviews, and performance incentive grants, which are designed to encourage States to plan, identify, and implement crash countermeasures that address those problems in their own State and measure program success based on the desired performance. The information system and analysis program would provide funding to collect and analyze information necessary to evaluate performance in a timely and accurate manner to support enforcement activities undertaken by the Federal and State governments. The strategic safety reform program focuses on providing funding for driver training programs, judicial outreach, and research to support regulatory reinvention initiatives.

The loans will be for projects that will generate public benefits in excess of their public costs. Single State projects will be eligible only if the project will generate benefits beyond the state borders. This credit program is designed to increase investment in the nation’s transportation system by attracting and expanding the use of private capital in financing strategic infrastructure projects with independent revenue streams.

Grant allocations are determined on the basis of a statutory formula established by Congress. States use this funding to reduce traffic crashes, fatalities, and injuries. The grants are used to support State highway safety programs within national priorities and implemented jointly with all members of the highway safety community. States develop safety goals, performance measures, and strategic plans to manage use of grants to reduce death and injury associated with excessive speeds, failure to use occupant restraints, alcohol/drug impaired driving and roadway safety. Grants are also available to improve safety of motorcyclists, pedestrians, bicyclists and older/younger drivers, and emergency medical services/trauma care, school bus safety, and better traffic records systems. In 1998 the Section 402 program of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will be merged into the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Section 402 formula grants program. Alcohol-Impaired Driving Incentive Grants.—A new ‘‘Alcohol-Impaired Driving Countermeasures’’ two-tiered basic and supplement grant program is being established to reward States that pass new laws and start more effective programs to attack drunk and impaired driving.

Second, they can implement four of the following six programs: prevent persons under age 21 from obtaining alcohol; steppedup police enforcement coupled with publicity; graduated licensing laws with nighttime driving restrictions and Zero Tolerance; achieving performance-based goals that reduce fatally injured drivers with a .10 BAC or higher and increase the number of drivers with known BAC test results; effective sanctions for repeat DWI offenders; and enacting administrative license revocation laws. There are 10 supplemental grant criteria including open container laws; mandatory alcohol testing for drunk driving suspects involved in fatal or serious injury; 02 BAC per se law for persons under age 21 with a minimum of 30 day license suspension; financially selfsustaining programs and use of passive alcohol sensors by police. Occupant Protection Incentive Grants.—A new ‘‘Occupant Protection Program’’ is being established as a two-tiered basic and supplemental incentive grant to encourage States to strengthen laws and programs to increase safety belt and child safety seat use. States become eligible for basic grants by taking specific actions such as passing primary enforcement laws or penalty points for a belt law violation, demonstrating 70 percent or higher belt use statewide, and implementing a State Traffic Enforcement (STEP) program modeled after the North Carolina ‘‘Click It or Ticket’’ effort. National Driver Register.—NDR funding is provided to implement and operate the Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS) and improve traffic safety by assisting State motor vehicle administrators in communicating effectively and efficiently with other States to identify drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked for serious traffic offenses including impaired driving and hit and run. Legislation will be proposed to transfer certain activities to create a public/ private partnership to jointly operate the PDPS. 1996 actual 1997 est. 1998 est. 25.2 41.0 Other services ................................................................

The project replaces the current 20 miles of at-grade rail lines with a high-speed, below-grade corridor, thereby eliminating over 200 grade crossings. It also widens and improves the adjacent major highway on this alignment and mitigates the impact of increased international traffic transferring through the San Pedro Ports. The loan will permit construction to continue without interruption through the date of an anticipated revenue bond sale, the proceeds of which will fund the majority of the project’s costs. As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loan(s) obligated in 1997.

The Administration will work with Congress, Amtrak management and labor, State governments, and other interested parties in the coming year to develop an affordable long-range plan that eliminates Amtrak’s dependence on Federal operating subsidy. Funding for Amtrak was derived from the General Fund prior to 1998. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provides funding to transit operators, State and local governments and other recipients for the construction of facilities; the purchase of vehicles and equipment; the improvement of technology, service techniques, and methods; the support of regionwide transportation planning; and transit operations. In addition to improving general mobility, FTA provides financial assistance to help implement other national goals relating to mobility for the elderly, people with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged individuals. In 1998, FTA’s budget request totals $4.4 billion, all of which will come from the Mass Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund under legislation being proposed for FY 1998 to FY 2003. The following tables show the funding for Federal Transit Administration programs. [In millions of dollars] Total, budget authority .....................................

The National Capital Transportation Amendments of 1979 (Stark-Harris) authorized $1.7 billion in Federal funds to support the construction of the Washington Metrorail system. In addition, the National Capital Transportation Amendments of 1990 authorized another $1.3 billion in Federal capital assistance to complete construction of the planned 103-mile system. For 1998, $200 million is requested under the 1990 authorization to continue funding the final 13.5 miles of the 103mile system under the Federal Transit Administration’s Full Funding Grant Agreements with WMATA. These funds will be used to continue construction of the Glenmont, Mid-City, and Branch Avenue segments; and to provide for project management, real estate acquisition, and other expenses such as contingencies and insurance.

Funds may be used for any transit capital purpose, including preventive maintenance for these capital assets, in urban areas over 200,000 in population. The definition of capital will be expended to include costs associated with routine maintenance, thus allowing transit providers the flexibility to more effectively manage Federal capital investments. In urbanized areas under 200,000 both capital and operating costs will be eligible expenditures. This funding will assist public transit agencies in meeting the requirements of the Clean Air Act Amendments and the Americans with Disabilities Act. These funds are critical to preserving mobility in our cities and supporting welfare reform by providing an affordable commute for people making the transition to work. Fixed Guideway Modernization.—Beginning in 1998, funds distributed by statutory formula for Fixed Guideway Modernization under the current Discretionary Grants program will be included in Formula Programs and will continue to be distributed by the current statutory formula. Grantees will be able to use this funding for any eligible activity under the Urbanized Area Formula Grants program, as well as to upgrade rail facilities and equipment and replace rail rolling stock. Formula Program for other than Urbanized Areas.—$124 million will be apportioned according to a legislative formula based on each State’s nonurban population to areas with populations of less than 50,000. Available funding may be used to support intercity bus service as well as to help meet rural and small urban areas’ transit needs. This will also include resources under the Rural Transit Assistance Program. Formula Grants for Special Needs of Elderly Individuals and Individuals with Disabilities.—$58 million will be apportioned to each State according to a legislatively required formula to assist in providing transportation to the elderly and persons with disabilities. Grants are made for the purchase of vehicles and equipment and for transportation services under a contract, lease or similar arrangement. Access to Jobs and Training.—$100 million. Legislation is proposed to establish a new activity to help assure that efforts to reform welfare will be successful. State and local entities may apply for funds to support new or modified service for low-income individuals, including former welfare recipients traveling to jobs or training centers. 74.99 Total unpaid obligations, end of year .................. ................... ................... 3,239 Status of Contract Authority (in millions of dollars) 86.90 Outlays (gross), detail: Outlays from new current authority .............................. ................... ................... 171 (LIMITATION (HIGHWAY ON OBLIGATIONS) TRUST FUND, MASS TRANSIT ACCOUNT) None of the funds in this Act shall be available for the implementation or execution of programs for which obligations are in excess of $3,409,500,000 for grants under chapter 53 of title 49, U.S.C., to be derived from the Mass Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund; together with advances and reimbursements received by the Federal Transit Administration, to remain available until expended.

Formula funding can be used for all transit purposes (including planning, bus and railcar purchases, facility repair and construction, and, in areas under 200,000 population, operating costs). This helps maximize flexibility for transit authorities and allows them to prioritize and target funds to their most important needs. This account includes funds previously appropriated for fixed guideway modernization and bus and busrelated facilities in the Discretionary Grants program. All Formula Programs are proposed to be financed from the Mass Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund and apportioned to urbanized areas and governors of the States.

The PBO will focus on four key performance goals: safety, long and short term reliability, trade development, and management accountability including customer service, fiscal performance and cost effectiveness. No appropriation is requested as financing is proposed to be derived from an automatic annual payment from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund, based on five-year average tonnage through the Seaway.

Consistent with the continued trend toward less regulation of the surface transportation industry, the ICCTA abolished the ICC; eliminated certain functions that had previously been implemented by the ICC; transferred core rail and certain other functions to the Board; and transferred motor licensing and certain other motor functions to the Federal Highway Administration. The Board is specifically responsible for the regulation of the rail and pipeline industries and certain non-licensing regulation of motor carriers and water carriers. The new law empowers the Board through its exemption authority to promote deregulation administratively on a case-by-case basis and continues intact the important rail reforms of the Staggers Rail Act of 1980, which have helped to substantially improve rail service and the profitability of the railroad industry. Rail Carriers.—This regulatory oversight encompasses the regulation of rates, mergers, and acquisitions, construction, and abandonment of railroad lines, as well as the planning, analysis and policy development associated with these activities. Staff ensure compliance with railroad regulations in order to protect the public interest. Other Surface Transportation Carriers.—This regulatory oversight includes certain regulation of the intercity bus industry and surface pipeline carriers as well as the rate regulation of water transportation in the non-contiguous domestic trade, household good carriers, and collectively determined motor rates and the processing of truck undercharge matters. 1998 Program Request.—A total of $14.3 million is requested to implement rulemakings and adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the directives and deadlines set forth by the ICCTA. It reflects the elimination of two FTE associated with the completion of one-time workload imposed by ICCTA and productivity improvements derived from increased automation, revised GSA rent estimates, and the 2.8% payraise. It also reflects the anticipated carryover of approximately $0.8 million in fees derived from 1997 rail merger activities. The total program request amount is proposed to be derived from user fees collected from the beneficiaries of the Board’s activi- ties. This fee financing proposal stems from a proposal put forward by the Board’s predecessor, the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). That proposal suggested ways of financing the ICC solely with fees and/or industry assessments. Fee financing will relieve the general taxpayer of the burden of supporting the Board. Further, fee financing will emphasize the accountability of the Board as to the value of the activities it provides to its customers. The following paragraph is presented in compliance with Section 703 of the ICCTA and does not reflect the views of the Administration. For example, it reflects a higher 1998 payraise for STB employees than the Administration requests for other Federal employees. It is presented without change or correction. The Board’s Request.—The Board had submitted to the Secretary of Transportation and the Office of Management and Budget a 1998 appropriation request of $12.753 million and a request for $3.1 million from reimbursements from the offsetting collection of user fees. The appropriation request included $12.244 million, the current level of funding provided by the 1997 Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, plus $0.509 million for annual pay and non-pay adjustments. The $3.1 million request from the offsetting collection of user fees is commensurate with the $3 million offsetting collection level authorized by the 1997 Appropriations Act. The offsetting collection of user fees is based on the costs incurred by the Board for fee-related activities and is commensurate with the costs of processing parties’ submissions. This level of funding is necessary to implement rulemakings and adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the deadlines imposed by the ICCTA. The Board requires adequate resources to perform key functions under the ICCTA, including rail rate reasonableness oversight; the processing of rail consolidations, abandonments and other restructuring proposals; and the resolution of motor carrier undercharge matters.

The Bureau is responsible for compiling, analyzing, and disseminating information on the nation’s transportation systems. The Bureau’s customers MARITIME ADMINISTRATION Federal Funds DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION are Federal, state, and local governments, private corporations and individuals. Financing of the Bureau’s operations is authorized as contract authority out of the Highway Trust Fund. The 1998 proposed funding level is $31 million. The contract authority is included in the Federal-aid Highways program and subject to the obligation limitation applicable to that program. Funds are transferred to the Bureau from Federal-aid Highways, where all obligations and outlays are counted. Obligations are estimated at $24.7 million in 1997 and $31 million in 1998. The Bureau also includes the Office of Airline Information, formerly the Office of Airline Statistics in the Research and Special Programs Administration. During 1996, the Bureau was given responsibility for collecting motor carrier financial and safety data. This program was previously administered by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). Responsibility was transferred to the Bureau by the ICC Termination Act of 1995, P.L. 104–88. and other related acts, to promote a strong U.S. Merchant Marine. Emphasis is placed on increasing the competitiveness and productivity of the U.S. maritime industries as well as ensuring adequate seafaring manpower for peacetime and national emergencies. Programs include: providing operating aid to U.S.-flag operators; administering the Federal Ship Financing Fund loan portfolio; reimbursing the Commodity Credit Corporation for the expanded cargo preference requirement in the Food Security Act of 1985; preserving and maintaining merchant ships retained in the National Defense Reserve Fleet including the Ready Reserve Force; emergency planning and coordination; promoting port and intermodal development; and conducting Federal technology assessment projects.

The Maritime Security Program provides resources to maintain a U.S.-flag merchant fleet crewed by U.S. citizens to serve both the commercial and national security needs of the United States. The program provides direct payments to U.S.-flag ship operators engaged in U.S.-foreign trade. Participating operators are required to keep the vessels in active commercial service and are required to provide intermodal sealift support to the Department of Defense in times of war or national emergency. 255 –135 120 OCEAN FREIGHT DIFFERENTIAL Program and Financing (in millions of dollars) The Operating-Differential Subsidies (ODS) account helps to maintain a U.S.-flag merchant fleet to serve both the commercial and national security needs of the U.S. by providing operating subsides to U.S.-flag ship operators to offset certain differences between U.S. and foreign operating costs. Appropriations are provided to liquidate contract authority. This program has been replaced by the Maritime Security Program. Appropriations will be provided to honor existing contracts through 2002.

The increased cost associated with this expanded U.S.-flag shipping requirement stems from higher rates charged by U.S.-flag carriers compared with foreign-flag carriers. The Maritime Administration is required to reimburse the Department of Agriculture for ocean freight differential costs for the added tonnage above 50 percent. These reimbursements are funded through borrowings from the Treasury. This account has a permanent, indefinite appropriation to liquidate debt provided in Public Law 100–202 to cover these costs. The Maritime Administration’s ocean freight differential costs are one portion of the government’s cargo preference program. The ocean transportation subsidy costs related to cargo preference for all relevant agencies are presented in the following schedule.

In 1996, the program began operating under seven risk categories for loans to be approved under the Title XI program. As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account includes the subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantee commitments made in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis, the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis. Funds for administrative expenses for the Title XI program are appropriated to this account, then transferred to the Operations and Training account to be obligated and outlayed. The schedule above shows the post-transfer amounts for 1996. For 1997 and 1998, the schedule displays pre-transfer amounts in order to comply with the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. Language will be proposed in the FY 1998 Budget to amend the Merchant Marine Act of 1936 such that the Title XI program will conform more closely with the Federal Credit Reform Act, thereby reducing the risk to the Federal government.
