TO--

The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States and the State Transportation Agencies:

Pursuant to section 9503 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, title 23, United States Code, and the delegation of authority from the Secretary of Transportation to the Federal Highway Administrator in section 1.48, 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 Appalachian Development Highway Program for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999, is $450,000,000 which is 100 percent of the amount authorized to be appropriated for that fiscal year pursuant to section 1117 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century.

Second, that in compliance with section 104(a) of title 23, United States Code, I have determined that it is appropriate to deduct 1.50 percent from the amount authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999, for the administrative activities associated with the Appalachian Development Highway Program and I have deducted said 1.50 percent from the sum of $450,000,000 authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999, by section 1117 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century.

Third, that after making the deduction, I have computed the apportionment among the several States of the amount authorized to be appropriated for the Appalachian Development Highway Program in the manner provided by law in accordance with the formula set forth in section 1117 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century.

Fourth, the sums which are hereby apportioned to each State effective immediately are respectively as follows:
