The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States and the State departments of transportation:
Pursuant to section 9503 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2003 (STEA03), as amended by the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2004 (STEA04), the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2004, Part II (STEA04, Part II), and the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2004, Part III (STEA04, Part III), 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 that can be advanced and apportioned from the Highway Trust Fund for projects to carry out section 2 of the STEA03, as amended by sections 2 of the STEA04, the STEA04, Part II, and STEA04, Part III, for projects eligible thereunder, is $26,998,288,667, which is 100 percent of the amount authorized to be made available as an advance from the Highway Trust Fund.
Second, that pursuant to Division H, section 168, of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004, P.L. 108-199, I have determined that it will be necessary to deduct .59 percent from the sum of $26,998,288,667 authorized to be appropriated by section 2 of the STEA03, as amended by sections 2 of the STEA04, the STEA04, Part II, and the STEA04, Part III. The resulting amount authorized to be apportioned is $26,842,140,514. These funds are available for obligation as if they had been apportioned under Chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code.
Third, that pursuant to section 2(b)(3) of the STEA03, as amended by section 2(b)(1) of the STEA04 these funds are administered as if they had been apportioned, allocated, deducted, or set aside, as the case may be, under title 23, United States Code, except for: deductions and set asides in the following sections of such title shall not apply to such funds: sections 104(a)(1)(A), 104(a)(1)(B), 104(b)(1)(A), 104(d)(1), 104(d)(2), 104(f)(1), 104(h)(1), 118(c)(1), 140(b), 140(c), and 144(g)(1).
Fourth, that under section 154(c) of title 23, United States Code, relating to the Open Container Requirements law, 3 percent of the programmatic distribution of Interstate Maintenance, National Highway System, and Surface Transportation Program funds required to be apportioned and advanced to Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming will be transferred to the State’s section 402 program.
Fifth, that under section 163 of title 23, United States Code, pursuant to the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001, P.L. 106-346, section 351, relating to the Operation of Motor Vehicles by Intoxicated Persons law, 2 percent of the programmatic distribution of Interstate Maintenance, National Highway System, and Surface Transportation Program funds required to be apportioned and advanced to Colorado, Delaware and Minnesota will be withheld from the apportionment.
Sixth, that under section 164(b) of title 23, United States Code, relating to the Minimum Penalties for Repeat Offenders for Driving While Intoxicated or Driving Under the Influence law, 3 percent of the programmatic distribution of Interstate Maintenance, National Highway System, and Surface Transportation Program funds required to be apportioned and advanced to Alaska, California, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming will be transferred to the State’s section 402 program.
Seventh, the amounts apportioned to each State under this programmatic distribution is determined in accordance with section 2(b)(2) of the STEA03, as amended by the STEA04, the STEA04, Part II, and the STEA04, Part III.
Eighth, the amounts are subject to obligation controls contained in section 2(e)(3) of the STEA03, as amended by sections 2(d) of the STEA04, the STEA04, Part II, and the STEA04, Part III, which provides that a State shall not obligate any funds for any Federal-aid highway program project after July 31, 2004, until the enactment of a law reauthorizing the Federal-aid highway program.
Ninth, that after making the deductions, transfers and withholding, I have computed the apportionments among the States and the District of Columbia of the amounts authorized to be advanced from the Highway Trust Fund for the programmatic distribution to provide a ten-month extension of the Federal-aid highway program, pending enactment of a law reauthorizing the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, in the manner provided by law in accordance with the formula in section 2(b) of the STEA03, as amended by sections 2(b) of the STEA04, the STEA04, Part II, and the STEA04, Part III.
