Yes, this Notice cancels FHWA Notice 4510.629, Revised Apportionment of Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 Interstate Maintenance Program Funds, dated January 9, 2007. Pursuant to the provisions of the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007, Pub. L. No. 109-289, Division B, as amended by the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007, Pub. L. No. 109-369, the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007, Pub. L. No. 109-383, and the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007, Pub. L. No. 110-5, the revision to the apportionment is required due to a revised percent takedown from the amount authorized for the Interstate Maintenance Program. The funds are being provided to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

  3. What is the availability of these funds?

    1. The Interstate Maintenance Program funds resulting from this apportionment are available for obligation through September 30, 2010. Any amounts not obligated by the State on or before September 30, 2010, shall lapse.

    2. The funds resulting from this apportionment are available for obligation immediately and will be subject to obligation controls in force at the time of obligation.

    3. The Federal share will be in accordance with Section 120 of Title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.).

    4. The program code to be used when obligating these funds is L010.

  4. What is the background information? Section 1101(a)(1) of the SAFETEA-LU authorizes a total of $5,039,058,556 in contract authority for the Interstate Maintenance Program for FY 2007. The total contract authority available for distribution in FY 2007 net of these reductions is $4,857,945,785.

    1. The Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007, Pub. L. No. 110-5, applies a percentage share takedown of $118,034,865 of the amount apportioned for the Interstate Maintenance Program. This reduces the amount authorized for the Interstate Maintenance Program by $18,124,539.

    2. Section 104(f) of Title 23, U.S.C., applies a 1.25 percent takedown for Metropolitan Planning from the amount authorized for the Interstate Maintenance Program. This provision reduces the amount apportioned by $62,988,232.

First, that the Secretary of the Treasury has made the estimate required by Section 9503(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and, based on that estimate, I have determined that the amount that can be apportioned for the Interstate Maintenance Program for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, pursuant to Section 1101(a)(1) of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users is $5,039,058,556, which is 100 percent of the amount authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year.

I have deducted $18,124,539 from the sum of $5,039,058,556 authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007.

The resulting amount available for distribution is $4,857,945,785.

Fifth, that in compliance with Section 154 of Title 23, United States Code, the Open Container Requirements, 3 percent of the amount required to be apportioned to the States of Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming will be transferred to the State's 402 safety program.

Seventh, that after making the deductions, set aside, and transfers, I have computed the apportionment to each State and the District of Columbia of the remainder of the amounts authorized to be appropriated for the Interstate Maintenance Program in the manner provided by law in accordance with the formula set forth.
