     highway system program) that are apportioned by the Secretary 
     under this Act and title 23, United States Code, in the ratio 
     that--
       (A) sums authorized to be appropriated for such programs 
     that are apportioned to each State for such fiscal year, bear 
     to
       (B) the total of the sums authorized to be appropriated for 
     such programs that are apportioned to all States for such 
     fiscal year.
       (d) Redistribution of Unused Obligation Authority.--
     Notwithstanding subsection (c), the Secretary shall after 
     August 1 of each of fiscal years 1998 through 2003 revise a

     distributed during that fiscal year and redistribute 
     sufficient amounts to those States able to obligate amounts 
     in addition to those previously distributed during that 
     fiscal year giving priority to those States having large 
     unobligated balances of funds apportioned under sections 104 
     and 144 of title 23, United States Code, under section 160 of 
     title 23, United States Code (as in effect on the day before

     any funds (1) that are authorized to be appropriated for 
     such fiscal year for Federal-aid highway programs (other 
     than the program under section 160 of title 23, United 
     States Code) and for carrying out subchapter I of chapter 
     311 of title 49, United States Code, and chapter 4 of 
     title 23, United States Code, and (2) that the Secretary 
     determines will not be allocated to the States, and will 
     not be available for obligation, in such fiscal year due 
     to the imposition of any obligation limitation for such 
     fiscal year. Such distribution to the States shall be made 
     in the same ratio as the distribution of obligation 
     authority under subsection (c)(6). The funds so 
     distributed shall be available for any purposes described 
     in section 133(b) of title 23, United States Code.
       (g) Special Rule.--Obligation authority distributed for a 
     fiscal year under subsection (c)(4) for a section set forth 
     in subsection (c)(4) shall remain available until used for

     Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 
     901(b)(2)(B)(ii)(I)(cc)) for such fiscal year. Any such 
     increase shall be distributed in accordance with this 
     section.
       (i) Limitations on Obligations for Administrative 
     Expenses.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
     total amount of all obligations under section 104(a) of title

       (II) all other independent Federal agency environmental 
     analyses, reviews, opinions, and decisions on any permits, 
     licenses, and approvals that must be issued or made for the 
     project;

     whereby each such Federal agency's review shall be undertaken 
     and completed within such established time periods for 
     review; or
       (ii) may enter into an agreement to establish such time 
     periods for review with respect to a class of project; and
       (B) shall ensure, in establishing such time periods for 
     review, that the conduct of any such analysis, review, 
     opinion, and decision is undertaken concurrently with all 
     other environmental reviews for the project, including the 
     reviews required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 
     1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.); except that such review may 
     not be concurrent if the affected Federal agency can 
     demonstrate that such concurrent review would result in a 
     significant adverse impact to the environment or 
     substantively alter the operation of Federal law or would not 
     be possible without information developed as part of the 
     environmental review process.
       (3) Factors to be considered.--Time periods for review 
     established under this section shall be consistent with the 
     time periods established by the Council on Environmental 
     Quality under sections 1501.8 and 1506.10 of title 40, Code 
     of Federal Regulations.
       (4) Extensions.--The Secretary shall extend any time 
     periods for review under this section if, upon good cause 
     shown, the Secretary and any Federal agency concerned 
     determine that additional time for analysis and review is 
     needed as a result of new information that has been 
     discovered that could not reasonably have been anticipated 
     when the Federal agency's time periods for review were 
     established. Any memorandum of understanding shall be 
     modified to incorporate any mutually agreed-upon extensions.
       (c) Dispute Resolution.--When the Secretary determines that 
     a Federal agency which is subject to a time period for its 
     environmental review or analysis under this section has 
     failed to complete such review, analysis, opinion, or 
     decision on issuing any permit, license, or approval within 
     the established time period or within any agreed-upon 
     extension to such time period, the Secretary may, after 
     notice and consultation with such agency, close the record on 
     the matter before the Secretary. If the Secretary finds, 
     after timely compliance with this section, that an 
     environmental issue related to the project that an affected 
     Federal agency has jurisdiction over by operation of Federal 
     law has not been resolved, the Secretary and the head of the 
     Federal agency shall resolve the matter not later than 30 
     days after the date of the finding by the Secretary.
       (d) Participation of State Agencies.--For any project 
     eligible for assistance under chapter 1 of title 23, United 
     States Code, a State, by operation of State law, may require 
     that all State agencies that have jurisdiction by State or 
     Federal law over environmental-related issues that may be 
     affected by the project, or that are required to issue any 
     environmental-related reviews, analyses, opinions, or 
     determinations on issuing any permits, licenses, or 
     approvals for the project, be subject to the coordinated 
     environmental review process established under this 
     section unless the Secretary determines that a State's 
     participation would not be in the public interest. For a 
     State to require State agencies to participate in the 
     review process, all affected agencies of the State shall 
     be subject to the review process.
       (e) Assistance to Affected Federal Agencies.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary may approve a request by a 
     State to provide funds made available under chapter 1 of 
     title 23, United States Code, to the State for the project 
     subject to the coordinated environmental review process 
     established under this section to affected Federal agencies 
     to provide the resources necessary to meet any time limits 
     established under this section.
       (2) Amounts.--Such requests under paragraph (1) shall be 
     approved only--
       (A) for the additional amounts that the Secretary 
     determines are necessary for the affected Federal agencies to 
     meet the time limits for environmental review; and
       (B) if such time limits are less than the customary time 
     necessary for such review.
       (f) Judicial Review and Savings Clause.--
       (1) Judicial review.--Nothing in this section shall affect 
     the reviewability of any final Federal agency action in a 
     district court of the United States or in the court of any 
     State.
       (2) Savings clause.--Nothing in this section shall affect 
     the applicability of the National Environmental Policy Act of 
     1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) or any other Federal 
     environmental statute or affect the responsibility of any 
     Federal officer to comply with or enforce any such statute.
       (g) Federal Agency Defined.--In this section, the term 
     ``Federal agency'' means any Federal agency or any State 
     agency carrying out affected responsibilities required by 
     operation of Federal law.

    CHAPTER 1--TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE AND INNOVATION

     SEC. 1501. SHORT TITLE.

       This chapter may be cited as the ``Transportation 
     Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 1998''.

     SEC. 1502. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) a well-developed system of transportation 
     infrastructure is critical to the economic well-being, 
     health, and welfare of the people of the United States;
       (2) traditional public funding techniques such as grant 
     programs are unable to keep pace with the infrastructure 
     investment needs of the United States because of budgetary 
     constraints at the Federal, State, and local levels of 
     government;
       (3) major transportation infrastructure facilities that 
     address critical national needs, such as intermodal 
     facilities, border crossings, and multistate trade corridors, 
     are of a scale that exceeds the capacity of Federal and State 
     assistance programs in effect on the date of enactment of 
     this Act;
       (4) new investment capital can be attracted to 
     infrastructure projects that are capable of generating their 
     own revenue streams through user charges or other dedicated 
     funding sources; and
       (5) a Federal credit program for projects of national 
     significance can complement existing funding resources by 
     filling market gaps, thereby leveraging substantial private 
     co-investment.
