  1. What is the purpose of this Notice? This Notice transmits the revised certificate of advance apportionment of Federal-aid highway program funds pursuant to the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2004, Part V (STEA04, Part V), Public Law (P.L.) 108-310, as amended by the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2005 (STEA05), P.L. 109-14; the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2005, Part II (STEA05, Part II), P.L. 109-20; the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2005, Part III (STEA05, Part III), P.L. 109-35; the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2005, Part IV (STEA05, Part IV), P.L. 109-37; and the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2005, Part V (STEA05, Part V), P.L. 109-40. This apportionment is effective immediately.

  2. Does this Notice cancel FHWA Notice 4510.545? Yes, this Notice cancels FHWA Notice 4510.545, Apportionment of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 Advance Apportionment pursuant to the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2005, Part II, dated July 19, 2005. The revisions to the apportionment are required pursuant to the STEA05, Part V.

  3. What is the background information?

    1. The advance apportionment extends highway and highway safety programs.

    2. Section 2(c) of the STEA05, Part V, authorizes a total of $28,243,990,320 in contract authority for the Interstate Maintenance, National Highway System, Surface Transportation, Bridge, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement, Recreational Trails, Appalachian Development Highway System, and Minimum Guarantee Programs.

    3. Division J, title I, section 122, of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, P.L. 108-447 applies a .8 percent across-the-board rescission to any contract authority provided in FY 2005 for any program subject to a limitation set in any Division of that Act. As a result, the amount described in Item 3b above is reduced by $221,708,961– $28,243,990,320, less $530,370,000 for the portion of Minimum Guarantee exempt from the obligation limitation, times .8 percent.

    4. Division H, title I, section 117, of P.L. 108-447 applies a 4.1 percent takedown to the remaining amounts authorized for the Interstate Maintenance, National Highway System, Surface Transportation, Bridge, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement, Appalachian Development Highway System, and Minimum Guarantee Programs. This provision reduces the amounts apportioned for the listed programs by an additional $1,146,914,148.

    5. The total contract authority available for distribution net of these reductions is $26,875,367,211.

    6. Each State's advance apportionment as shown on Table 1, column 1 represents a proportional distribution of the $26,875,367,211 relative to each State's FY 2004 share of formula obligation authority as adjusted by the provisions of section 105(f) of title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.), relating to Minimum Guarantee as prescribed in section 2(a) of the STEA04, Part V, as amended by the STEA05; the STEA05, Part II; the STEA05, Part III; the STEA05, Part IV; and the STEA05, Part V.

  4. What is the programmatic distribution?

    1. In accordance with section 2(b) of the STEA04, Part V, as amended by the STEA05, the STEA05, Part II; the STEA05, Part III; the STEA05, Part IV, and the STEA05, Part V the funds apportioned to each State are distributed within that State among the Interstate Maintenance, National Highway System, Surface Transportation, Bridge, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement, Recreational Trails, Appalachian Development Highway System, and Minimum Guarantee Programs in the same ratio that funds were apportioned to that State for those programs in FY 2004. This distribution among the funding categories is shown on Table 2 pursuant to STEA05, Part V.

    2. The funds shown on Table 2 shall be administered as if apportioned under title 23, U.S.C. The period of availability of funds apportioned under the STEA04, Part V, as amended by the STEA05, the STEA05, Part II, the STEA05, Part III; the STEA05, Part IV; and the STEA05, Part V shall be the same as for programs among which funds are distributed.

The funds are available for obligation immediately and are subject to obligation controls in section 2(e)(3) of the STEA04, Part V, as amended by section 2(d) of the STEA05; the STEA05, Part II; the STEA05, Part III; the STEA05, Part IV; and the STEA05, Part V. Obligation controls are imposed by Division H of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, P.L. 108-447, the Transportation,Treasury, Independent Agencies, and General Government Appropriations Act, 2005.

  5. What are the repayment procedures?

    1. The amounts that will be apportioned for FY 2005 under chapter 1 of title 23, U.S.C., pursuant to reauthorizing legislation, shall be reduced by the amounts apportioned herein.

    2. As existing program categories may not be funded under reauthorizing legislation, procedures will be developed as to the restoration of advance apportionment funds to the Federal-aid highway program.
