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 apportioned for the Bridge Program for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, pursuant to section 1101(a)(3) of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users, is $4,253,530,131, which is 100 percent of the amount authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year.

Second, pursuant to section 104(f) of title 23, United States Code, I have deducted 1.25 percent from the sum of $4,253,530,131 authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, by section 1101(a)(3) of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users, for the purpose of carrying out section 134 of title 23, United States Code.

Third, pursuant to section 144(g) of title 23, United States Code, and after making deductions authorized by section 104(f) of title 23, United States Code, I have set aside $100,000,000 from the sum of $4,253,530,131 authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, by section 1101(a)(3) of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users, for the purpose for carrying out section 144 of title 23, United States Code.
