This appropriation finances research activities and studies
concerned with planning, analysis, and information development needed to support the Secretary’s responsibilities in the
formulation of national transportation policies.
The program is carried out primarily through contracts with
other Federal agencies, educational institutions, non-profit research organizations, and private firms.
Activities support the development of transportation policy,
coordination of national-level transportation planning, and
such issues as regulatory modernization, energy conservation,
and environmental and safety impacts of transportation.
These also support departmental leadership on aviation economic policy and international transportation issues.

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 take off nor
land in the United States, commonly known as overflight
fees. The Act permanently appropriated the first $50 million
of such fees for the Essential Air Service program and rural
airport improvements. To the extent that fee collections fall
below $50 million, the law required the difference to be covered by Federal Aviation Administration funds. The 2008
Budget proposes a $50 million program to be fully financed
from overflight fees. The Budget proposes a general provision
to restructure the program.

Through 1997, this program was funded from the Airport
and Airway Trust Fund. Starting in 1998, the FAA reauthorization funded it as a mandatory program supported by overflight fees under the Essential Air Service and Rural Airport
Improvement Fund. In addition to mandatory funding supported by overflight fees, direct appropriations from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund to the Payments to Air Carriers
program were enacted in 2006.

pay directly for the services that FAA provides for managing
the use of the national airspace. Under the proposal, aviation
users would pay a total of $11.5 billion in user fees and
fuel taxes in 2008; under the current tax structure aviation
users would pay $12.1 billion in excise and fuel taxes, a
difference of $600 million. FAA aims to create a more direct
relationship between user fees collected and services received,
thereby creating incentives to make the system more responsive to user needs and more efficient.

The Administration will transmit a reauthorization proposal
in 2007 that transforms the FAA’s excise tax financing system
to a cost-based system that recovers most of costs of air traffic
services through user fees. The Budget estimates in the Appendix present FAA’s accounts under current law financing
mechanisms for 2008; estimates beyond 2008 assume enactment of the Administration’s proposal.
Under the proposal, FAA’s financing sources shift from a
mix of fuel taxes, other excise taxes, and general fund contributions to user fees, fuel taxes, and a general fund contribution. FAA would have the authority to collect the user
fees that directly offset the cost of FAA’s operations; expenditure of the available fees would be affirmed in the appropriations process. Air traffic user fees would be collected from
commercial aviation operators. General aviation users would
continue to pay a fuel tax that would be deposited into the
Airport and Airway Trust Fund; fuel tax rates will be calibrated based on the costs that these users impose on the
system. The general fund component of FAA’s budget would
cover activities that benefit the public good like safety and
public use of the airspace. Finally, the Airport Improvements
Grants program and the majority of Research, Engineering,
and Development program would continue to be funded by
fuel taxes paid by all aviation users into the Airport and
Airway Trust Fund.
To illustrate how implementing a user fee system impacts
the Budget, the above table shows tax receipts and FAA’s
budget accounts in 2008, under both current law and the
reauthorization proposal. Tax receipts would decrease by an
estimated $8.1 billion, and net discretionary spending would
decrease by $7.5 billion. The table also shows the funding
sources (user fees, Trust Fund revenue, and general fund)
for each FAA account.
The reform of FAA’s financing structure is necessary because under the existing aviation tax structure, there is no
relationship between the taxes paid by users and the air
traffic control services rendered by the FAA. For example,
when a full plane flies from New York to Boston it imposes
the same workload on the FAA as when a less crowded plane
of the same size travels the same route. However, since the
current tax structure is primarily based on the price of a
ticket, the full plane pays much more in taxes than the less
crowded plane. User fees allow commercial aviation users to

The fund provides direct support for the aviation insurance
program (chapter 443 of title 49, U.S. Code). Income to the
fund is derived from premium collections for premium insurance coverage issued, income from authorized investments,
and binder fees for nonpremium coverage issued. The binders
provide aviation insurance coverage for U.S. air carrier aircraft used in connection with certain Government contract
operations by the Department of Defense and the Department
of State.

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION
Federal Funds—Continued

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008

AVIATION INSURANCE REVOLVING FUND—Continued

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (P.L. 107–296) required
the Secretary to provide additional war risk insurance coverage (Hull Loss and Passenger and Crew Liability) to air
carriers insured for Third-Party War Risk Liability as of June
19, 2002, as authorized under existing law. Continuation of
this coverage was subsequently directed by several appropriations acts, the last being the Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, District of Columbia, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act for 2006
(P.L. 105–115). The Continuing Appropriations Act for 2007,
as amended (P.L. 109–383) further extended the requirement
to provide insurance coverage through the duration of the
resolution, February 15, 2007. The Secretary is authorized
to limit an air carrier’s third party liability to $100 million,
when the Secretary certifies that the loss was from an act
of terrorism. The FAA insurance policy covers: (i) hull losses
at agreed value; (ii) death, injury, or property loss to passengers or crew, the limit being the same as that of the
air carrier’s commercial coverage before September 11, 2001;
and (iii) third party liability, the limit generally being twice
that of such coverage.

In 2008, FAA has a new account structure that replaces
the Operations and Facilities and Equipment accounts with
the Air Traffic Organization and Safety and Operations accounts. No budget authority is requested in 2008 in the Facilities and Equipment account and its schedule shows obligation
and outlay amounts from prior years. Instead, 2008 funding
is requested for these activities in the Air Traffic Organization
and Safety and Operations accounts.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation
Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU), enacted August 10, 2005, provides for increased transportation infrastructure investment, strengthens transportation safety programs and environmental programs, and continues core research activities. SAFETEA–LU, along with Title 23, United
States Code (‘‘Highways’’) and other supporting legislation,
provides authority for the various programs of the Federal
Highway Administration designed to improve highways
throughout the Nation. The President’s Budget continues
transportation infrastructure investment to increase the mobility and productivity of the Nation, strengthens transportation safety programs, and provides focus on program efficiencies, oversight, and accountability. In support of the Administration’s National Strategy to Reduce Congestion on
America’s Transportation Network, existing budgetary resources will be used to focus on a number of high-priority
efforts to help reduce highway congestion.
In 2008, the Federal Highway Administration continues
core programs, including the Surface Transportation Program,
the National Highway System, Interstate Maintenance, Highway Safety Improvement Program, Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program, the Federal Lands Highways Program, and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
Improvement Program. In addition, the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation program provides Federal
credit assistance to nationally or regionally significant surface
transportation projects, and the Equity Bonus program provides funding to States based on equity considerations. Other
programs new in SAFETEA–LU include the Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program, Highways for Life Pilot Program,
National Corridor Infrastructure Improvement Program,
Projects of National and Regional Significance, and Safe
Routes to School.
In summary, the 2008 Budget consists of $40,836 million
in new budget authority and $38,153 million in outlays. The
following table reflects program levels (obligations). Because
project selection is determined by the States, the 2007 and
2008 program levels are estimates.

The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1968 authorized the establishment of a right-of-way revolving fund. This fund was used
to make cash advances to States for the purpose of purchasing
right-of-way parcels in advance of highway construction and
thereby preventing the inflation of land prices from significantly increasing construction costs.
This program was terminated by TEA–21, but will continue
to be shown for reporting purposes as loan balances remain
outstanding. The purchase of right-of-way is an eligible expense of the Federal-aid program.

The Highway Revenue Act of 1956, as amended, provides
for the transfer from the General Fund to the Highway Trust
Fund of revenue from the motor fuel tax and certain other
taxes paid by highway users. 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 following table presents the status of the Highway
Trust Fund. The rule governing most trust funds is that
the legal authority to incur obligations against the receipts
estimated to be collected by the fund cannot exceed the cash
balances of the fund, i.e., the actual receipts estimated to
be collected in that year. The laws governing the Highway

FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION—Continued
Trust Funds—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Trust Fund provide an exception to this rule. The legal authority to incur obligations against the Highway Trust Fund
can exceed the actual cash balances up to the receipts anticipated to be collected in the following four years.
Cash balances. The table begins with the unexpended balance on a ‘‘cash basis’’ at the start of the year. The table
shows the amount of cash invested in Federal securities at
par value and the amount of cash on hand, i.e., uninvested
balance. Next, the table provides the amounts of cash income
and cash outlays during each year to show the cash balance
at the end of each year.
Commitments in excess of cash balances. Since this trust
fund has legal authority to incur obligations in excess of the
cash balances, the last part of the table presents the extent
to which there are commmitments in excess of the cash balances at the end of the year.
The status of the fund is as follows:

(HIGHWAY TRUST FUND)

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for carrying out the
provisions of title 23, United States Code, that are attributable to
Federal-aid highways, not otherwise provided, including reimbursement for sums expended pursuant to the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 308,
$38,000,000,000 or so much thereof as may be available in and derived from the Highway Trust Fund (other than the Mass Transit
Account), to remain available until expended.
Note.—A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been enacted at the time
the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution
(P.L. 109–289, Division B, as amended). The amounts included for 2007 in this budget
reflect the levels provided by the continuing resolution.

The Federal-Aid Highways (FAH) program is designed to
aid in the development, operations and management of an
intermodal transportation system that is economically efficient, environmentally sound, provides the foundation for the
Nation to compete in the global economy, and moves people
and goods safely.
All programs included within FAH are financed from the
Highway Trust Fund and most are 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 continues to fund most programs from within the FederalAid Highway obligation limitation. Emergency Relief and a
portion of the Equity Bonus program ($639 million) will be
exempt from the limitation.
The FAH program is funded by contract authority in P.L.
109–59, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU). The
Budget proposes an obligation limitation for FAH of $39.6
billion. This funding level for 2008 reflects the obligation limitation authorized in SAFETEA–LU, but does not reflect an
upward adjustment based on the revenue aligned budget authority (RABA) calculation enacted in SAFETEA–LU.
Surface transportation program (STP).—STP funds may be
used by States and localities for projects on any Federalaid highway, bridge projects on any public road, transit capital projects, and intracity and intercity bus terminals and
facilities. A portion of STP funds are set aside for transportation enhancements and State sub-allocations are provided.

809

National highway system (NHS).—The NHS program provides funding for a designated National Highway System consisting of roads that are of primary Federal interest. The
NHS 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 and TEA–21 added to the
system the highways and connections to transportation facilities identified in the May 24, 1996 report to Congress.
Interstate maintenance (IM).—The IM program finances
projects to rehabilitate, restore, resurface and reconstruct the
Interstate system. Reconstruction that increases capacity,
other than HOV lanes, is not eligible for IM funds.
Emergency relief (ER).—The ER program provides funds
for the repair or reconstruction of Federal-aid highways and
bridges and Federally-owned roads and bridges that 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.
Bridge replacement and rehabilitation.—The bridge program enables States to improve the condition of their bridges
through replacement, rehabilitation, and systematic preventive maintenance. The funds are available for use on bridges
located on any public road.
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.
Federal lands.—This category funds improvement for forest
highways; park roads and parkways; Indian reservation
roads; and refuge roads. The Federal Lands Highways program provides for transportation planning, research, engineering, and construction of highways, roads, parkways, and transit facilities that provide access to or within pubic lands,
National parks, and Indian reservations.
Transportation infrastructure finance and innovation
(TIFIA) program.—The TIFIA credit program provides funds
to assist in the development of surface transportation projects
of regional and national significance. The goal is to develop
major infrastructure facilities through greater non-Federal
and private sector participation, building on public willingness
to dedicate future revenues or user fees in order to receive
transportation benefits earlier than would be possible under
traditional funding techniques. The TIFIA program provides
secured loans, loan guarantees, and standby lines of credit
that may be drawn upon to supplement project revenues,
if needed, during the first 10 years of project operations.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans, loan guarantees, and lines of
credit obligated 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.
Federal highway research, technology and education.—Research, technology, and education programs develop new
transportation technology that can be applied nationwide. Activities include surface transportation research, including Intelligent Transportation Systems; development and deployment, training and education; University Transportation Research.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008

FEDERAL-AID HIGHWAYS—Continued
(HIGHWAY TRUST FUND)—Continued

Highway safety improvement (HSIP).—The highway infrastructure safety program, established as a core program in
2006, features strategic safety planning and performance, devotes additional resources, and supports innovative approaches to reducing highway fatalities and injuries on all
public roads.
Equity Bonus program.—The Equity Bonus provides additional funds to States to ensure that each State receives an
amount based on equity considerations. Each State is guaranteed a minimum rate of return on its share of contributions
to the Highway Account of the Highway Trust Fund, and
a minimum increase relative to the average dollar amount
of apportionments under TEA–21. Certain States will maintain the share of total apportionments they each received
during TEA–21. An open-ended authorization is provided, ensuring that there will be sufficient funds to meet the objectives of the Equity Bonus.
High priority projects and transportation improvements.—
Funds are provided for specific projects identified in
SAFETEA–LU, each with a specified amount of funding over
the 5 years of SAFETEA–LU.
Projects of national and regional significance.—Provides
funding for specific projects of national or regional importance. All the funds authorized for this program from the
Highway Trust Fund are designated for projects listed in
SAFETEA–LU.
Congestion Reduction Initiative.—In support of a Department-wide effort to tackle congestion in all modes, the 2008
Budget includes a new $175 million initiative for reducing
highway congestion. The Budget proposes to fund the initiative by reprogramming $175 million in unobligated balances
associated with inactive Federal-aid highway program demonstration projects. To implement this initiative, FHWA
would invite local governments to apply for Federal funds
to demonstrate innovative ideas for curbing congestion.
FHWA would select a number of large-scale pilot projects
based on their potential to reduce traffic congestion. The desired outcome of these projects is to improve quality of life
and economic growth by spreading the demand by route,
mode, and time of day, and by more efficient operation of
the existing transportation system.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Not to exceed $384,556,000, together with advances and reimbursements received by the Federal Highway Administration, shall be paid
in accordance with law from appropriations made available by this
Act to the Federal Highway Administration for necessary expenses
for administration and operation.
Note.—A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been enacted at the time
the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution
(P.L. 109–289, Division B, as amended). The amounts included for 2007 in this budget
reflect the levels provided by the continuing resolution.

This limitation provides for the salaries and expenses of

formulation of multi-year and long-range policy plans and
goals for highway programs; safety programs that focus on
high risk areas through technical assistance, research, training, analysis, and public information; development of data
and analysis for current and long-range programming; administrative support services for all elements of the FHWA; and
training opportunities for highway-related personnel.
Highway programs.—Provides engineering guidance to Federal and State agencies and to foreign governments, and conducts a program to encourage use of modern traffic engineering procedures to increase the vehicle-carrying capacity of
existing highways and urban streets; and finances construction skill training programs for disadvantaged workers hired
by contractors on federally aided highway projects.
Field operations.—Provides staff advisory and support services in field offices of the Federal Highway Administration;
and provides program and engineering supervision through
division offices.

compatibility, and improving data systems.
Highway Safety Research Programs.—Provide research,
demonstrations, technical assistance, and national leadership
for highway safety programs conducted by State and local
governments, the private sector, universities, research units,
and various safety associations and organizations. This program emphasizes alcohol and drug countermeasures, vehicle
occupant protection, traffic law enforcement, emergency medical and trauma care systems, traffic records and licensing,
State and community evaluation, motorcycle riders, pedestrian and bicycle safety, pupil transportation, young and older
driver safety programs, and development of improved accident
investigation procedures.
General Administration.—Provides program evaluation,
strategic planning, and economic analysis for agency programs. Provides funding to gather objective quantitative information about NHTSA’s regulatory and highway safety programs to measure their effectiveness in achieving objectives.
This activity also funds development of methods to estimate
economic consequences of motor vehicle injuries in forms suitable for agency use in problem identification, regulatory analysis, priority setting, and policy analysis.
National Driver Register.—Provides funding 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, such as driving
under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

SAFETEA–LU updated the following programs:
Section 402.—SAFETEA–LU reauthorized the State and
Community Highway Safety formula grant program to support State highway safety programs, designed to reduce
traffic crashes and resulting deaths, injuries, and property
damage. A State may use these grant funds only for highway safety purposes; at least 40 percent of these funds
are to be expended by political subdivisions of the State.
Section 405.—SAFETEA–LU amended Section 405(a) of
Chapter 4 of Title 23 to encourage States to adopt and
implement effective programs to reduce deaths and injuries
from riding unrestrained or improperly restrained in motor
vehicles. A State may use these grant funds only to implement and enforce occupant protection programs.
Section 406.—SAFETEA–LU established a new program
of incentive grants to encourage the enactment and enforcement of laws requiring the use of safety belts in passenger
motor vehicles. A State may use these grant funds for any
safety purpose under Title 23 or for any project that corrects or improves a hazardous roadway location or feature
or proactively addresses highway safety problems. However,
at least $1 million of amounts received by States must
be obligated for behavioral highway safety activities.
Section 408.—SAFETEA–LU established a new program
of incentive grants to encourage States to adopt and implement effective programs to improve the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, uniformity, integration, and accessibility of State data that is needed to identify priorities
for national, State, and local highway and traffic safety
programs; to evaluate the effectiveness of efforts to make
such improvements; to link these State data systems, including traffic records, with other data systems within the
State; and to improve the compatibility of the State data
system with national data systems and data systems of
other States to enhance the ability to observe and analyze
national trends in crash occurrences, rates, outcomes, and
circumstances. A State may use these grant funds only
to implement such data improvement programs.
Section 410.—SAFETEA–LU amended the alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures incentive grant program to
encourage States to adopt and implement effective pro-

grams to reduce traffic safety problems resulting from individuals driving while under the influence of alcohol. A state
may use these grant funds to implement the impaired driving activities described in the Programmatic Criteria, as
well as costs for high visibility enforcement; the costs of
training and equipment for law enforcement; the costs of
advertising and educational campaigns that publicize checkpoints, increase law enforcement efforts and target impaired
drivers under 34 years of age; the costs of a State impaired
operator information system, and the costs of vehicle or
license plate impoundment.
Child Safety and Child Booster Seat Safety Incentive
Grants.—SAFETEA–LU established a new incentive grant
program to make grants available to States that are enforcing a law requiring any child riding in a passenger vehicle
who is too large to be secured in a child safety seat to
be secured in a child restraint that meets the requirements
prescribed under section 3 of Anton’s Law (49 U.S.C. 30127
note; 116 Stat. 2772). These grant funds may be used only
for child safety seat and child restraint programs.
Motorcyclist Safety.—SAFETEA–LU established a new
program of incentive grants to encourage States to adopt
and implement effective programs to reduce the number
of single and multi-vehicle crashes involving motorcyclists.
A State may use these grants funds only for motorcyclist
safety training and motorcyclist awareness programs, including improvement of training curricula, delivery of training, recruitment or retention of motorcyclist safety instructors, and public awareness and outreach programs.
High Visibility Enforcement.—Section 2009 of SAFETEA–
LU established a new program to administer at least two
high-visibility traffic safety law enforcement campaigns
each year to achieve one or both of the following objectives:
(1) reduce alcohol-impaired or drug-impaired operation of
motor vehicles; and/or (2) increase the use of safety belts
by occupants of motor vehicles. These funds may be used
to pay for the development, production, and use of broadcast
and print media advertising in carrying out traffic safety
law enforcement campaigns. Consideration is to be given
to advertising directed at non-English speaking populations,
including those who listen, read or watch non-traditional
media.
Grant Administrative Expenses.—Provides funding for
salaries and operating expenses related to the administration of the Grants Programs and supports the National
Occupant Protection User Survey (NOPUS) and Highway
Safety Research programs.

Railroad system issues.—Provides for research in railroad
system safety, performance-based regulations, railroad systems and infrastructure security, railroad environmental
issues, and locomotive R&D.
Human factors.—Provides for research in train operations,
and yard and terminal accidents and incidents.
Rolling stock and components.—Provides for research in onboard monitoring systems, wayside monitoring systems, and
material and design improvements.
Track and structures.—Provides for research in inspection
techniques, material and component reliability, track and
structure design and performance, and track stability data
processing and feedback.
Track and train interaction.—Provides for research in derailment mechanisms, and vehicle/track performance.
Train control.—Provides for research in train control test
and evaluation.
Grade crossings.—Provides for research in grade crossing
human factors and infrastructure.
Hazardous materials transportation.—Provides for research
in hazmat transportation safety, damage assessment and inspection, and tank car safety.
Train occupant protection.—Provides for research in locomotive safety, and passenger car safety and performance.
R&D facilities and test equipment.—Provides support to the
Transportation Technology Center (TTC) and the track research instrumentation platform. The TTC is a Governmentowned facility near Pueblo, Colorado, operated by the Association of American Railroads under a contract for care, custody
and control.

For FY 2008, the Administration is proposing a Capital
Grant Program that will encourage state participation in its
passenger rail service. Under this new program, a State or
States would apply to FRA for grants for up to 50 percent
of the cost of capital investments necessary to support improved intercity passenger rail service that either requires
no operating subsidy or for which the State or States agree
to provide any needed operating subsidy. To qualify for funding, States would have to include intercity passenger rail
service as an integral part of Statewide transportation planning as required under 23 U.S.C. 135. Additionally, the specific project would have to be on the Statewide Transportation
Improvement Plan at the time of application.

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provides grant
funding to State and local governments, public and private
transit operators, and other recipients to subsidize public
transit operations; construct new public transit systems; purchase and maintain transit vehicles and equipment; support
regional transportation planning efforts; and improve the
technology and service methods used in the delivery of public
transportation services. FTA programs also provide financial
assistance to help implement national policy goals relating
to mobility for the elderly, for individuals with disabilities,
and for those who are economically disadvantaged. In 2008,
FTA will again increase public transportation funding predictability and transparency by distributing more funds by formula, including the rural (non-urbanized area) program funds
to address unmet public transportation needs in underserved
rural communities.
This table below presents the total 2008 funding for all
Federal Transit Administration programs with additional detail provided in the budget schedules that follow.

Federal Funds

This account shows credit activity that occurred prior to
the passage of the Federal Credit Reform Act, including:
Section 505—Redeemable preference shares.—Authority for
the section 505 redeemable preference shares program expired
on September 30, 1988. The account reflects actual and projected outlays resulting from payments of principal and interest as well as repurchases of redeemable preference shares
and the sale of redeemable preference shares to the private
sector.
Section 511—Loan repayments.—This program reflects repayments of principal and interest on outstanding borrowings
by the railroads to the Federal Financing Bank under the
section 511 loan guarantee program.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, all cash flows to and
from the Government resulting from direct loans obligated
and loan guarantees committed prior to 1992. All new activity
in this program (including modifications of direct loans or
loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year) is recorded in corresponding program accounts and financing accounts.

For necessary administrative expenses of the Federal Transit Administration’s programs authorized by chapter 53 of title 49, United States
Code, $89,300,000: Provided, That of the funds in this Act available
for the execution of contracts under section 5327(c) of title 49, United
States Code, $2,000,000 shall be reimbursed to the Department of
Transportation’s Office of Inspector General for costs associated with
audits and investigations of transit-related issues, including reviews
of new fixed guideway systems.
Note.—A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been enacted at the time
the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution
(P.L. 109–289, Division B, as amended). The amounts included for 2007 in this budget
reflect the levels provided by the continuing resolution.

In 2008, the National Research Program, Transit Cooperative Research Program, and the National Transit Institute
are funded in the Research and University Research Centers
account.
Funding for the National Research Program will be used
for FTA’s essential safety and security activities and transit
safety data collection. Under the national component of the
program, FTA is a catalyst in the research, development and
deployment of transportation methods and technologies which
address issues such as accessibility for the disabled, air quality, traffic congestion, and transit service and operational improvements. Funding for the University Research Centers program will provide continued support for research, education
and technology transfer activities aimed at addressing regional and national transportation problems.
This account was renamed in 2006 from Transit Planning
and Research in accordance with the account restructuring
in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation
Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) and funding
for metropolitan and statewide planning programs is thereby
provided under the Formula and Bus Grants account.

Since 2006, the activities of this account have been funded
in the Research and University Research Centers account.

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. The Federal commitment to complete the 103-mile
system was fully funded in 1999. No new budget authority

For 2008, all programs within the Formula and Bus Grant
account are funded from the Mass Transit Account of the
Highway Trust Fund.
Formula and Bus Grants are funded by contract authority
provided in SAFETEA–LU (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users) P.L.
109–59. Formula Grant funds can be used for all transit
purposes including planning, bus and railcar purchases, facility repair and construction, maintenance and where eligible,
operating expenses. These funds help transit systems alleviate
congestion, ensure basic mobility, promote economically vibrant communities and meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Urbanized Area Formula.—$4,279.8 million in funds will
be apportioned to areas with populations of 50,000 or more.
Funds may be used for any transit capital purpose, including
preventive maintenance for capital assets in urban areas over
200,000 in population. In urban areas under 200,000, both
capital and operating costs are eligible expenditures. Urbanized Area Formula includes funding for the Growing States
Program, which distributes funds to the Urbanized and Nonurbanized Area Formula programs under differing factors.
Fixed Guideway Modernization.—$1,569.8 million for the
acquisition, reconstruction and improvement of facilities and
equipment for use on fixed guideways, including heavy and
light rail, commuter rail, and ferryboat operations. Funding
for this program will help ensure that the Nation’s older
fixed guideway systems continue to meet the transportation
needs of the communities they serve.
Bus and Bus Facility Grants.—$927.6 million to provide
investments in bus and bus-related capital projects that enhance the efficiency and safety of the nation’s bus systems.
State Administered Programs.—$876.9 million. Nonurbanized Area Formula—$506.5 million will be apportioned to a
legislative formula based on each State’s nonurban 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, including $8.8
million for the Rural Transit Assistance Program. Nonurbanized Area Formula includes funding for the Growing States
Program. Formula Grants for Elderly and Individuals with
Disabilities—$127 million will be apportioned to each State
according to a legislatively required formula for the purchase
of vehicles and equipment and for transportation services
under a contract, lease or similar arrangement. Job Access
and Reverse Commute—$156 million, to be apportioned to
the States by formula to provide grants to non-profit organizations and local transit agencies to fund transportation services
in urban, suburban and rural areas to assist welfare recipients and low-income individuals to access employment opportunities. Federal transit funds provide 50 percent of the
project costs, with grant recipients supplying the remaining
50 percent from local or Federal sources, other than the De-

partment of Transportation. New Freedom Program—$87.5
million, to provide additional tools to overcome significant
barriers facing Americans with disabilities seeking access to
jobs and integration into the workforce.
Planning.—$107 million to fund metropolitan and statewide
planning activities.
Over-the-Road Bus Accessibility Program.—$8.3 million for
the Rural Transportation Accessibility Incentive Program established in TEA–21. Funding will assist operators of overthe-road buses in financing the incremental capital and training costs of complying with the Department of Transportation’s final rule regarding disabled accessibility of over-theroad buses required by the ADA.
Clean Fuels Grant Program.—$49 million to provide financing for the purchase or lease of clean fuel buses and facilities
and the improvement of existing facilities to accommodate
these buses. This includes buses powered by compressed natural gas, biodiesel fuels, batteries, alcohol-based fuels, hybrid
electric, fuel cell and certain clean diesel (up to 2 percent
of grants annually), and other low or zero emissions technology.
Alternatives Analysis Program.—$25 million provided for
transit projects in the early stage of development and to investigate transit alternatives to solving local transportation
problems.
Alternative Transportation in Parks and Public Lands.—
$25 million to enhance the protection of America’s national
parks and increase the enjoyment of those visiting the parks.
The goals of the Alternative Transportation in Parks program
include ensuring access for all, including individuals with disabilities; improving conservation and park and public land
opportunities in urban areas through partnering with State
and local governments; and improving park and public land
transportation.
National Transit Database (NTD).—$3.5 million for operation and maintenance of the NTD system, a database of
statistics on the transit industry, which is Congressionally
mandated under 49 U.S.C. 5335(a)(1)(2). The NTD provides
for the national collection and dissemination of a uniform
system of transit system financial accounts and operating
data. As set forth in legislative formulas, these data are used
in the national allocation of FTA formula funding.
This account was renamed in 2006 from Trust Fund Share
of Expenses consistent with the account restructuring in
SAFETEA–LU.

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) provides services to advance safety in hazardous materials transportation. PHMSA’s program is focused
on five principal areas. First, PHMSA provides comprehensive
regulations for the safe and secure transportation of hazardous materials. Second, through training, guidance and outreach materials, PHMSA helps shippers and carriers understand the regulations and how to comply with them. Third,
PHMSA enforces the regulations on those persons who refuse
or neglect to comply with safety and security requirements.
Fourth, PHMSA assists the Nation’s response community to
plan for and respond to hazardous materials transportation
emergencies. Finally, PHMSA builds each of these operational
responsibilities on a comprehensive technical and analytical
foundation.

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires the preparation of
oil spill response plans by pipeline operators to minimize the
environmental impact of oil spills and to improve public and
private sector response capabilities. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is responsible for the review, approval and testing of these plans, and
for ensuring that the public and the environment are provided
with an adequate level of protection from such spills. PHMSA
does this through data analysis, spill monitoring, pipeline
mapping, environmental indexing, and advanced technologies
to detect and prevent leaks.

For necessary expenses of the Research and Innovative Technology
Administration, $12,000,000, of which $6,036,000 shall remain available until September 30, 2010: Provided, That there may be credited
to this appropriation, to be available until expended, funds received
from States, counties, municipalities, other public authorities, and
private sources for expenses incurred for training.
Note.—A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been enacted at the time
the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution
(P.L. 109–289, Division B, as amended). The amounts included for 2007 in this budget

The Surface Transportation Board was created on January
1, 1996, by P.L. 104–88, the ICC Termination Act of 1995
(ICCTA). 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.
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.
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.
2008 Program Request.—$23.085 million is requested to implement rulemakings and adjudicate the ongoing caseload
within the directives and deadlines set forth by the ICCTA.
The following paragraph is presented in compliance with
Section 703 of the ICCTA. It is presented without change
or correction.
The Board’s Request to OMB.—The Board had submitted
to the Secretary of Transportation and the Office of Management and Budget a 2008 appropriation request of $26.495
million and a request for $1.250 million from reimbursements
from the offsetting collection of user fees to operate at 150
FTEs. 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. In past fiscal years, the Board received both an appropriation and authorization for offsetting collections to be made
available to the appropriation for the Board’s expenses. The
2008 Budget request reflects offsetting collections as a credit
to the appropriation received, to the extent that they are
collected.
This level of funding is necessary to implement rulemakings
and adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the deadlines imposed by 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 non-rail matters.

MARITIME ADMINISTRATION
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is responsible for
programs that strengthen the U.S. maritime industry in support of U.S. economic and national security needs, as authorized by the Merchant Marine Act. MARAD has made congestion relief a top priority and is working extensively on efforts
to reduce transportation system congestion.
MARAD works closely with the Department of Defense
(DOD) and is currently supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom
through its sealift program. MARAD helps provide a seamless, time-phased transition from peacetime to wartime operations, while balancing the defense and commercial elements
of the maritime transportation system. MARAD establishes
DOD’s prioritized use of ports and related intermodal facilities
during DOD mobilizations to ensure the smooth flow of military cargo through commercial ports. MARAD also manages
the Maritime Security Program, the Voluntary Intermodal
Sealift Agreement Program and the Ready Reserve Force,
which assure DOD access to commercial and strategic sealift
and associated intermodal capacity. In addition, MARAD operates the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and helps support
six State maritime schools in order to provide new merchant
marine officers for the nation’s maritime industry.
In 2008, MARAD requests funds to continue its support
of the U.S. as a maritime nation and to dispose of obsolete
merchant-type vessels in the National Defense Reserve Fleet.

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.

Ocean freight differential is the difference in cost incurred
in the movement of ocean cargoes. In general, when applied
to cargo preference policy implementation, it is the cost difference between U.S.-flag carriers and foreign-flag carriers.
Public Law 99–108 amended the cargo preference requirement
in Section 901 of the Merchant Marine Act to increase the
minimum required tonnage of certain government-sponsored
food-aid shipments that must be shipped on U.S.-flag vessels
from 50 to 75 percent. The Maritime Administration is required to reimburse government agencies that sponsor these
food-aid shipments for the increase in ocean freight differential associated with compliance with this expanded U.S.-flag
shipping requirement.

The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is authorized to

subset of the NDRF. Resources for RRF vessel maintenance,
preservation, activation and operation costs, as well as RRF
infrastructure support costs and additional DOD/Navy-sponsored sealift activities and special projects, are provided by
reimbursement from the Defense Sealift Fund. MARAD incurs
similar obligations for government-owned merchant vessels
outside the RRF fleet and for the charter of privately-owned
merchant vessels, the cost of which is likewise provided by
reimbursement from sponsoring Federal agencies.
In addition, the fund is used by MARAD to finance the
acquisition, maintenance, preservation, protection and use of
merchant vessels involved in mortgage foreclosure or collateral forfeiture proceedings instituted by the Federal Government and not financed by the Federal Ship Financing Fund
or the Maritime Guaranteed Loan Program; and to finance

Identification code 69–1752–0–1–403

The Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended, established
the Federal Ship Financing Fund to assist in the development
of the U.S. merchant marine by guaranteeing construction
loans and mortgages on U.S.-flag vessels built in the United
States. No new commitments for loan guarantees are projected for the Federal Ship Financing Fund as this Fund
is now used only to underwrite guarantees made under the
Title XI loan guarantee program prior to 1992.
f

MARITIME GUARANTEED LOAN (TITLE XI) PROGRAM ACCOUNT
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

For administrative expenses to carry out the guaranteed loan program, $3,408,000 from amounts made available for highway priority
projects identified pursuant to section 112 of title I, Public Law 109–
115, for ‘‘Maritime Guaranteed Loans (Title XI),’’ which shall be transferred to and merged with the appropriation for ‘‘Operations and
Training,’’ Maritime Administration.
Note.—A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been enacted at the time
the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution
(P.L. 109–289, as amended). The amounts included for 2007 in this budget reflect the

This program provides guaranteed loans for purchasers of
ships from the U.S. shipbuilding industry and for modernization of U.S. shipyards.
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 subsequent
years, as well as administrative expenses of this program.
The subsidy costs 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 and
merged with the Operations and Training account to be obligated and outlayed.
No new funds for loan guarantees are requested for 2008.
