TO--
The Secretary of Treasury of the United States and the State Highway Departments:
Pursuant to section 9503 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1987, title 23, United States Code, entitled "Highways," and the delegation of authority from the Secretary of Transportation to the Federal Highway Administrator, section 1.48 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, I hereby certify--
First, that the Secretary of the Treasury has made the estimates required by section 9503(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and based on such estimates, I have determined that the amount which can be apportioned for the elimination of hazards of railway-highway crossings on any public road for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1989, is $160,000,000 which is 100 percent of the amount authorized to be appropriated for that purpose for that fiscal year pursuant to section 106(a)(13) of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1987.
Second, that in compliance with section 104(a) of title 23, United States Code, I have estimated that it will be necessary for administering the provisions of title 23 and for highway research and studies to deduct 1.75 percent from the sum of $160,000,000 authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1989, and I have deducted said 1.75 percent.
Third, that pursuant to section 307 of title 23, United States Code, I have set aside one-quarter per centum from the sum of $160,000,000 authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1989, to carry out the Strategic Highway Research Program under section 307(d) of title 23, United States Code.
Fourth, that I have set aside $250,000 from the sum of $160,000,000 authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1989 to carry out a national public information program to educate the public of the inherent hazards at railway-highway crossing.
Fifth, that after making said deduction and set-asides, I have computed the apportionment among the States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico of the remainder of the amount authorized to be appropriated by section 106(a)(13) of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1987, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1989, in the manner provided by law and in accordance with section 130 of title 23, United States Code.
Sixth, that the sums which are hereby apportioned and made available to each State, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, effective immediately are respectively as follows. [SEE PRINTED COPY OF NOTICE FOR SUMS]
