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 Recreational Trails Program for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, pursuant to subsection 1101(a)(8) of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users, is $70,000,000, which is 100 percent of the amount authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year.

Second, that pursuant to Division B, chapter 8, section 3801, of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006, I have determined that it will be necessary to deduct 1 percent from the sum of $70,000,000 authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, for the Recreational Trails Program. The resulting amount authorized to be apportioned is $69,300,000.

Third, pursuant to section 104(h)(1) of title 23, United States Code and Division B, chapter 8, section 3801 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006, I have determined that it will be necessary to deduct $831,600 from the amount authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, by section 1101(a)(8) of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users, for administrative, research, technical assistance and training expenses of the Recreational Trails Program under section 206 of title 23, United States Code and I have deducted said amount from the sum of $69,300,000 authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, by section 1101(a)(8) of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users. The resulting amount is $68,468,400.

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