(2) Section 147 of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1981;
(3) Section 9 of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1981;
(4) Sections 131(b) and 131(j) of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982;
(5) Sections 149(b) and 149(c) of the Surface Transportation Relocation Assistance Act of 1987;

(8) Section 105 of Title 23, U.S.C. (but, for each of the fiscal
years 1998 through 2007), only in an amount equal to $639,000,000 per fiscal year; and
(9) Section 218, Title 23, U.S.C.
- ALLOCATED ACCOUNTS
- Amounts authorized for administrative expenses and funded from the administrative
takedown authorized by Section 104(a) of Title 23, U.S.C., the amount
authorized for the highway use tax evasion program and for the Bureau
of Transportation Statistics are subject to the limitation on obligations,
but are excluded from the State-by-State distribution.
- Unobligated balances of funds from previous fiscal years that are allocated
by the Secretary are subject to the limitation on obligations, but are
excluded from the State-by-State distribution.

Intelligent Transportation Systems for FY 1999 shall not exceed $200,000,000

for FY 1999 shall not exceed $178,150,000 within the overall obligation

which were authorized for such programs in FY 1998 shall be in addition

- Amounts that are allocated to the States will be covered by an equal
amount of obligation limitation, which will be distributed with the allocation

Facility Program. Obligation limitation under this program will be controlled
centrally and distributed on an "as needed" basis.
- REDISTRIBUTION OF CERTAIN AUTHORIZED FUNDS
- Pursuant to Section 1102(f) of TEA-21 and 310(e) of the Omnibus Consolidated
and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, the Secretary shall distribute
to the States any funds authorized to be appropriated for such fiscal
year for Federal-aid highway programs that are allocated by the Secretary,
that the Secretary determines will not be allocated to the States and
will not be available for obligation due to the imposition of any obligation
limitation for FY 1999.
- Such distribution to the States shall be accomplished within 30 days
of the date of this Notice. The funds so distributed shall be available
for any purposes described in Section 133(b) of Title 23, U.S.C.
- Headquarters' program offices will be notified by the Office of
Budget and Finance of the reduction in contract authority for programs
they administer due to the imposition of the obligation limitation for FY 1999.
- OBLIGATION LIMITATION DISTRIBUTED TO THE STATES
- The Attachment shows the amount of formula obligation limitation distributed
to each State for FY 1999. Each State receives a proportional amount of
obligation limitation available to be distributed to the States based
on the ratio that each State's total apportionments subject to the
limitation on obligations bears to the total of such apportionments to all States.
- After August 1, 1999, the Secretary will revise the distribution of
limitation made available if a State does not plan to obligate the amount
distributed during FY 1999 and redistribute such amount to those States
able to obligate amounts, in addition to those previously distributed
during FY 1999. The redistribution will give priority to those States
having large unobligated balances of funds apportioned under Title 23,
U.S.C., Sections 104 and 144; Section 160 of Title 23 (as in effect on
the day before enactment of TEA-21; and Section 1015 of ISTEA.

and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for FY 1999, provides for
an obligation limitation within the overall obligation ceiling of $25,511,000,000
for the funds authorized under the following:

(2) Section 201 of the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965;
(3) the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge Authority Act of 1995; and
(4) $2,000,000,000 for Section 105 of Title 23, U.S.C., (relating to minimum guarantee).
- This special limitation associated with the programs listed above shall
remain available until used for the obligation of funds for which distributed
and shall be in addition to any amount of any limitation imposed for future fiscal years.

with minimum guarantee and the Appalachian Regional Development Act of
1965 for FY 1999 is also shown on the Attachment. The special limitation
