Attachment

TO--

The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States and the State Highway Departments:

Pursuant to section 9503 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, title 23, United States Code, 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 certify--

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 which can be apportioned for the Reimbursement for Segments of the Interstate System Constructed Without Federal Assistance for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, is, $1,732,919,493 which is 100 per centum of the amount authorized to be appropriated for the Reimbursement for that fiscal year pursuant to section 1014 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, as codified in section 160 of title 23, United States Code after taking a proportionate reduction as required by section 1003(c) of such statute.

Second, that incompliance 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 3.75 per centum from the amount authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, for the Interstate Reimbursement Program and I have deducted said 3.75 per centum from the sum of $1,732,919,493 authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, by section 1003(a)(1) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991.

Third, that in compliance with section 104(f)(1) of title 23, United States Code, and after making the deduction authorized by section 104(a) of title 23, United States Code, I have deducted one per centum of the sum remaining from the authorization of $1,732,919,493 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, for the purpose of carrying out section 134 of title 23, United States Code.

Fourth, I have computed the apportionment among the several States, and the District of Columbia of the amounts authorized to be appropriated for the Reimbursement for Segments of the Interstate System Constructed Without Federal Assistance in the manner provided by law in accordance with the formula set forth in section 160 of title 23, United States Code.

Fifth, that such sums are adjusted as required by section 1003(c) of Public Law 102-240.

Sixth, that subject to the foregoing deduction, the sums which are hereby apportioned to each State, and the District of Columbia, effective immediately are respectively as follows:
