Subject
Distribution Of Revenue Aligned Budget Authority Funds For Fiscal Year (FY) 2007
Classification Code Date Office of Primary Interest
N 4510.645 March 19, 2007 HCFB-1

  1. What is the purpose of this Notice? This Notice transmits a distribution of the Revenue Aligned Budget Authority (RABA) funds for FY 2007 pursuant to the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), Public Law (Pub. L. No.) 109-59.

  2. What is the background information?

    1. Section 110 of Title 23, United Stated Code (U.S.C.), provides for adjustments in funding for Federal-aid Highway and Highway Safety Construction apportionments and allocations programs funded from the Highway Account of the Highway Trust Fund and the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) to reflect changed estimates of Highway Account revenue. Of the funds to be apportioned under Section 110 for FY 2007, the Secretary shall ensure that such funds are apportioned for the Interstate Maintenance Program, the National Highway System Program, the Bridge Program, the Surface Transportation Program, the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program, and the Highway Safety Improvement Program in the same ratio that each State is apportioned funds for such programs in FY 2007.

    2. Special rule for RABA in FY 2007. Pursuant to Section 1105(f)(1) of SAFETEA-LU, a portion of the additional funds are used to increase the States' return on contributions to the Highway Account of the Highway Trust Fund to 92 percent.

  3. What is the availability of these funds?

    1. The RABA funds resulting from this apportionment shall be available for the same period as for the programs among which these funds are distributed.

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

    3. The Federal participating rate for these funds is the same as for the programs among which these funds are distributed.

  4. What is the distribution of the RABA funds?

    1. The amount reserved is determined by calculating the ratio of the authorizations for these programs to total authorizations from the Highway Account for Federal-aid Highway and Highway Safety Construction Programs and MCSAP and applying this ratio to the additional authorizations. The resulting amount is divided among the various allocated programs in the same proportion that those programs receive authorizations exclusive of RABA.

    2. The amount of FY 2007 RABA funds for the apportioned, allocated (non-apportioned programs), and MCSAP are shown in the attached table.

  5. What action is required? Division Administrators should ensure that copies of this Notice are provided to the State departments of transportation.
