1. What is the purpose of this Notice? The purpose of this Notice is to provide supplementary tables related to the revised apportionments of the authorizations of the following funds for FY 2000:

Interstate Maintenance
National Highway System
Bridge Replacement & Rehabilitation
Surface Transportation Program
Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Improvement
Minimum Guarantee
Revenue Aligned Budget Authority (RABA)

The Recreational Trails and Metropolitan Planning apportionments remain the same.

2. Does this Notice cancel FHWA Notice 4510.426? Yes, this Notice cancels FHWA Notice 4510.426, Supplementary Tables - Apportionment Authorized for Fiscal Year (FY) 2000, dated October 22, 1999. The revisions to the apportionment are minimal and were required to reflect adjustments in Highway Trust Fund contributions based on corrections resulting from an under reporting of 1997 motor fuel data (the most current data upon which FY 2000 apportionments are based.) United States Comptroller General decisions require that incorrect apportionments need to be appropriately adjusted to assure compliance with the statutory formula for apportioning Federal Highway funds enacted by Congress. Comptroller General opinion B-275490 (December 5, 1996): 41 Comp. Gen. 16 (1961).
