    (c) Distribution of Obligation Authority.--For each of fiscal years 
1998 through 2003, the Secretary shall--
        (1) not distribute obligation authority provided by subsection 
    (a) for such fiscal year for amounts authorized for administrative

    authorized to be appropriated for such section (except in the case 
    of section 105, $2,000,000,000) for such fiscal year;

    (a) less the aggregate amounts not distributed under paragraphs (1)

    this Act and title 23, United States Code, in the ratio that--
            (A) sums authorized to be appropriated for such programs 
        that are apportioned to each State for such fiscal year, bear 
        to
            (B) the total of the sums authorized to be appropriated for 
        such programs that are apportioned to all States for such 
        fiscal year.
    (d) Redistribution of Unused Obligation Authority.--Notwithstanding 
subsection (c), the Secretary shall after August 1 of each of fiscal 

2000
years 1998 through 2003 revise a distribution of the obligation 
authority made available under subsection (c) if a State will not 
obligate the amount distributed during that fiscal year and 
redistribute sufficient amounts to those States able to obligate 
amounts in addition to those previously distributed during that fiscal 
year giving priority to those States having large unobligated balances 
of funds apportioned under sections 104 and 144 of title 23, United 
States Code, under section 160 of title 23, United States Code (as in 
effect on the day before the date of enactment of this Act), and under

shall apply to transportation research programs carried out under 
chapter 3 of title 23, United States Code, and under title VI of this

days after the date of the distribution of obligation authority under 
subsection (c) for each of fiscal years 1998 through 2003, the

authorized to be appropriated for such fiscal year for Federal-aid 
highway programs (other than the program under section 160 of title 23, 
United States Code) and for carrying out subchapter I of chapter 311 of 
title 49, United States Code, and chapter 4 of title 23, United States 
Code, and (2) that the Secretary determines will not be allocated to 
the States, and will not be available for obligation, in such fiscal 
year due to the imposition of any obligation limitation for such fiscal 
year. Such distribution to the States shall be made in the same ratio 
as the distribution of obligation authority under subsection (c)(6). 
The funds so distributed shall be available for any purposes described 
in section 133(b) of title 23, United States Code.
    (g) Special Rule.--Obligation authority distributed for a fiscal 
year under subsection (c)(4) for a section set forth in subsection 
(c)(4) shall remain available until used for obligation of funds for 
such section and shall be in addition to the amount of any limitation 
imposed on obligations for Federal-aid highway and highway safety 
construction programs for future fiscal years.
    (h) Increase in Obligation Limit.--Limitations on obligations 
imposed by subsection (a) for a fiscal year shall be increased by an 
amount equal to the amount determined pursuant to section 
251(b)(1)(B)(ii)(I)(cc) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 901(b)(2)(B)(ii)(I)(cc)) for such fiscal 
year. Any such increase shall be distributed in accordance with this 
section.
    (i) Limitations on Obligations for Administrative Expenses.--
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the total amount of all

        periods for review within such period, the Department and all 
        such agencies shall take into account their respective 
        resources and statutory commitments.
    (b) Elements of Coordinated Environmental Review Process.--For each 
project, the coordinated environmental review process established under 
this section shall provide, at a minimum, for the following elements:
        (1) Federal agency identification.--The Secretary shall, at the 
    earliest possible time, identify all potential Federal agencies 
    that--
            (A) have jurisdiction by law over environmental-related 
        issues that may be affected by the project and the analysis of 
        which would be part of any environmental document required by 
        the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 
        et seq.); or
            (B) may be required by Federal law to independently--
                (i) conduct an environmental-related review or 
            analysis; or
                (ii) determine whether to issue a permit, license, or 
            approval or render an opinion on the environmental impact 
            of the project.
        (2) Time limitations and concurrent review.--The Secretary and 
    the head of each Federal agency identified under paragraph (1)--
            (A)(i) shall jointly develop and establish time periods for 
        review for--
                (I) all Federal agency comments with respect to any 
            environmental review documents required by the National 
            Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) 
            for the project; and
                (II) all other independent Federal agency environmental 
            analyses, reviews, opinions, and decisions on any permits, 
            licenses, and approvals that must be issued or made for the 
            project;
        whereby each 
2000
such Federal agency's review shall be undertaken 
        and completed within such established time periods for review; 
        or
            (ii) may enter into an agreement to establish such time 
        periods for review with respect to a class of project; and
            (B) shall ensure, in establishing such time periods for 
        review, that the conduct of any such analysis, review, opinion, 
        and decision is undertaken concurrently with all other 
        environmental reviews for the project, including the reviews 
        required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 
        U.S.C. 4321 et seq.); except that such review may not be 
        concurrent if the affected Federal agency can demonstrate that 
        such concurrent review would result in a significant adverse 
        impact to the environment or substantively alter the operation 
        of Federal law or would not be possible without information 
        developed as part of the environmental review process.
        (3) Factors to be considered.--Time periods for review 
    established under this section shall be consistent with the time 
    periods established by the Council on Environmental Quality under 
    sections 1501.8 and 1506.10 of title 40, Code of Federal 
    Regulations.
        (4) Extensions.--The Secretary shall extend any time periods 
    for review under this section if, upon good cause shown, the 
    Secretary and any Federal agency concerned determine that 
    additional time for analysis and review is needed as a result of 
    new information that has been discovered that could not reasonably 
    have been anticipated when the Federal agency's time periods for 
    review were established. Any memorandum of understanding shall be 
    modified to incorporate any mutually agreed-upon extensions.
    (c) Dispute Resolution.--When the Secretary determines that a 
Federal agency which is subject to a time period for its environmental 
review or analysis under this section has failed to complete such 
review, analysis, opinion, or decision on issuing any permit, license, 
or approval within the established time period or within any agreed-
upon extension to such time period, the Secretary may, after notice and 
consultation with such agency, close the record on the matter before 
the Secretary. If the Secretary finds, after timely compliance with 
this section, that an environmental issue related to the project that 
an affected Federal agency has jurisdiction over by operation of 
Federal law has not been resolved, the Secretary and the head of the 
Federal agency shall resolve the matter not later than 30 days after 
the date of the finding by the Secretary.
    (d) Participation of State Agencies.--For any project eligible for 
assistance under chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code, a State, by 
operation of State law, may require that all State agencies that have 
jurisdiction by State or Federal law over environmental-related issues 
that may be affected by the project, or that are required to issue any 
environmental-related reviews, analyses, opinions, or determinations on 
issuing any permits, licenses, or approvals for the project, be subject 
to the coordinated environmental review process established under this 
section unless the Secretary determines that a State's participation 
would not be in the public interest. For a State to require State 
agencies to participate in the review process, all affected agencies of 
the State shall be subject to the review process.
    (e) Assistance to Affected Federal Agencies.--
        (1) In general.--The Secretary may approve a request by a State 
    to provide funds made available under chapter 1 of title 23, United 
    States Code, to the State for the project subject to the 
    coordinated environmental review process established under this 
    section to affected Federal agencies to provide the resources 
    necessary to meet any time limits established under this section.
        (2) Amounts.--Such requests under paragraph (1) shall be 
    approved only--
            (A) for the additional amounts that the Secretary 
        determines are necessary for the affected Federal agencies to 
        meet the time limits for environmental review; and
            (B) if such time limits are less than the customary time 
        necessary for such review.
    (f) Judicial Review and Savings Clause.--
        (1) Judicial review.--Nothing in this section shall affect the 
    reviewability of any final Federal agency action in a district 
    court of the United States or in the court of any State.
        (2) Savings clause.--Nothing in this section shall affect the 
    applicability of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 
    U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) or any other Federal environmental statute or 
    affect the responsibility of any Federal officer to comply with or 
    enforce any such statute.
    (g) Federal Agency Defined.--In this section, the term ``Federal 
agency'' means any Federal agency or any State agency carrying out 
affected responsibilities required by operation of Federal law.

                          Subtitle E--Finance

    CHAPTER 1--TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE AND INNOVATION

SEC. 1501. SHORT TITLE.

    This chapter may be cited as the ``Transportation Infrastructure 
Finance and Innovation Act of 1998''.

SEC. 1502. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
        (1) a well-developed system of transportation infrastructure is 
    critical to the economic well-being, health, and welfare of the 
    people of the United States;
        (2) traditional public funding techniques such as grant 
    programs are unable to keep pace with the infrastructure investment 
    needs of the United States because of budgetary constraints at the 
    Federal, State, and local levels of government;
        (3) major transportation infrastructure facilities that address 
    critical national needs, such as intermodal facilities, border 
    crossings, and multistate trade corridors, are of a scale that 
    exceeds the capacity of Federal and State assistance programs in 
    effect on the date of enactment of this Act;
        (4) new investment capital can be attracted to infrastructure 
    projects that are capable of generating their own revenue streams 
    through user charges or other dedicated funding sources; and
        (5) a Federal credit program for projects of national 
    significance can complement existing funding resources by filling 
    market gaps, thereby leveraging substantial private co-investment.

SEC. 1503. ESTABLISHMENT OF PROGRAM.

SEC. 3032. CONTRACTING OUT STUDY.

    (a) Study.--Not later than 3 months after the date of enactment of 
this Act, the Secretary shall enter into an agreement with the 
Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences to 
conduct a study of the effect of contracting out mass transportation 
operation and administrative functions on cost, availability and level 
of service, efficiency, safety, quality of services provided to 
transit-dependent populations, and employer-employee relations.
    (b) Terms of Agreement.--The agreement entered into in subsection 
(a) shall provide that--
        (1) the Transportation Research Board, in conducting the study, 
    consider the number of grant recipients that have contracted out 
    services, the size of the population served by such grant 
    recipients, the basis for decisions regarding contracting out, and 
    the extent to which contracting out was affected by the integration 
    and coordination of resources of transit agencies and other Federal 
    agencies and programs; and
        (2) the panel conducting the study shall include 
    representatives of transit agencies, employees of transit agencies, 
    private contractors, academic and policy analysts, and other 
    interested persons.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 24 months after the date of entry into 
the agreement under subsection (a), the Secretary shall transmit to the 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
Representatives and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban 
Affairs of the Senate a report containing the results of the study.
    (d) Funding.--There shall be available from the Mass Transit 
Account of the Highway Trust Fund to carry out this section $250,000 
for fiscal year 1998.

the Government's share of the cost of the study.

SEC. 3033. URBANIZED AREA FORMULA STUDY.

    (a) Study.--The Secretary shall conduct a study to determine 
whether the formula for apportioning funds to urbanized areas under 
section 5336 of title 49, United States Code, accurately reflects the 
transit needs of the urbanized areas and, if not, whether any changes 
should be made either to the formula or through some other mechanism to 
reflect the fact that some urbanized areas with a population between 
50,000 and 200,000 have transit systems that carry more passengers per 
mile or hour than the average of those transit systems in urbanized 
areas with a population over 200,000.
    (b) Report.--Not later than December 31, 1999, the Secretary shall 
transmit to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the 
House of Representatives and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and 
Urban Affairs of the Senate a report on the results of the study 
conducted under this section, together with any proposed changes to the 
method for apportioning funds to urbanized areas with a population over 
50,000.

SEC. 3034. COORDINATED TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.

    (a) Study.--The Comptroller General shall conduct a study of 
Federal departments and agencies (other than the Department of

    financial assistance.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of 
this Act, the Comptroller General shall transmit to the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and 
the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate a 
report containing the results of the study and any recommendations for 
enhanced coordination between the Department of Transportation and 
other Federal departments and agencies that provide funding for non-
emergency transportation.

SEC. 3035. FINAL ASSEMBLY OF BUSES.

    (a) In General.--All buses manufactured on or after September 1, 
1999, that are purchased with Federal funds by recipients of assistance 
from the Federal Transit Administration shall conform with the Federal

if the manufacturing process for that bus is not completed on or before 
August 31, 1999.

SEC. 3036. CLEAN FUEL VEHICLES.

    (a) Study.--The Comptroller General shall conduct a study of the 
various low and zero emission fuel technologies for transit vehicles, 
including compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, biodiesel 
fuel, battery, alcohol based fuel, hybrid electric, fuel cell, and 
clean diesel to determine--
        (1) the status of the development and use of such technologies;
        (2) the environmental benefits of such technologies under the 
    Clean Air Act; and
        (3) the cost of such technologies and any associated equipment.
    (b) Report.--Not later than January 1, 2000, the Comptroller 
General shall transmit to the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate a report on the 
results of the study, together with recommendations for incentives to 
encourage the use of low and zero emission fuel technology for transit 
vehicles.

SEC. 3037. JOB ACCESS AND REVERSE COMMUTE GRANTS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
        (1) two-thirds of all new jobs are in the suburbs, whereas 
    three-quarters of welfare recipients live in rural areas or central 
    cities;
        (2) even in metropolitan areas with excellent public transit 
    systems, less than half of the jobs are accessible by transit;
        (3) in 1991, the median price of a new car was equivalent to 25 
    weeks of salary for the average worker, and considerably more for 
    the low-income worker;
        (4) not less than 9,000,000 households and 10,000,000 Americans 
    of driving age, most of whom are low-income workers, do not own 
    cars;
        (5) 94 percent of welfare recipients do not own cars;
        (6) nearly 40 percent of workers with annual incomes below 
    $10,000 do not commute by car;
        (7) many of the 2,000,000 Americans who will have the
2000
ir 
    Temporary Assistance to Needy Families grants (under the State 
    program funded under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act 
    (42 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)) terminated by the year 2002 will be unable 
    to get to jobs they could otherwise hold;
        (8) increasing the transit options for low-income workers, 
    especially those who are receiving or who have recently received 
    welfare benefits, will increase the likelihood of those workers 
    getting and keeping jobs; and
        (9) many residents of cities and rural areas would like to take 
    advantage of mass transit to gain access to suburban employment 
    opportunities.
    (b) Definitions.--In this section, the following definitions shall 
apply:
        (1) Eligible low-income individual.--The term ``eligible low-
    income individual'' means an individual whose family income is at 
    or below 150 percent of the poverty line (as that term is defined 
    in section 673(2) of the Community Services Block Grant Act (42 
    U.S.C. 9902(2)), including any revision required by that section) 
    for a family of the size involved.
        (2) Eligible project and related terms.--
            (A) In general.--The term ``eligible project'' means an 
        access to jobs project or a reverse commute project.
            (B) Access to jobs project.--The term ``access to jobs 
        project'' means a project relating to the development of 
        transportation services designed to transport welfare 
        recipients and eligible low-income individuals to and from jobs

            TITLE VI--OZONE AND PARTICULATE MATTER STANDARDS

SEC. 6101. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) The Congress finds that--
        (1) there is a lack of air quality monitoring data for fine 
    particle levels, measured as PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt;, in the United States 
    and the States should receive full funding for the monitoring 
    efforts;
        (2) such data would provide a basis for designating areas as 
    attainment or nonattainment for any PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; national 
    ambient air quality sta
2000
ndards pursuant to the standards promulgated 
    in July 1997;
        (3) the President of the United States directed the 
    Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (referred to 
    in this title as the ``Administrator'') in a memorandum dated July 
    16, 1997, to complete the next periodic review of the particulate 
    matter national ambient air quality standards by July 2002 in order 
    to determine ``whether to revise or maintain the standards'';
        (4) the Administrator has stated that 3 years of air quality 
    monitoring data for fine particle levels, measured as 
    PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; and performed in accordance with any applicable 
    Federal reference methods, is appropriate for designating areas as 
    attainment or nonattainment pursuant to the July 1997 promulgated 
    standards; and
        (5) the Administrator has acknowledged that in drawing 
    boundaries for attainment and nonattainment areas for the July 1997 
    ozone national air quality standards, Governors would benefit from 
    considering implementation guidance from EPA on drawing area 
    boundaries.
    (b) The purposes of this title are--
        (1) to ensure that 3 years of air quality monitoring data 
    regarding fine particle levels are gathered for use in the 
    determination of area attainment or nonattainment designations 
    respecting any PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; national ambient air quality 
    standards;
        (2) to ensure that the Governors have adequate time to consider 
    implementation guidance from EPA on drawing area boundaries prior 
    to submitting area designations respecting the July 1997 ozone 
    national ambient air quality standards;
        (3) to ensure that the schedule for implementation of the July 
    1997 revisions of the ambient air quality standards for particulate 
    matter and the schedule for the Environmental Protection Agency's 
    visibility regulations related to regional haze are consistent with 
    the timetable for implementation of such particulate matter 
    standards as set forth in the President's Implementation Memorandum 
    dated July 16, 1997.

SEC. 6102. PARTICULATE MATTER MONITORING PROGRAM.

    (a) Through grants under section 103 of the Clean Air Act the 
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall use 
appropriated funds no later than fiscal year 2000 to fund 100 percent 
of the cost of the establishment, purchase, operation and maintenance 
of a PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; monitoring network necessary to implement the 
national ambient air quality standards for PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; under 
section 109 of the Clean Air Act. This implementation shall not result 
in a diversion or reprogramming of funds from other Federal, State or 
local Clean Air Act activities. Any funds previously diverted or 
reprogrammed from section 105 Clean Air Act grants for PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; 
monitors must be restored to State or local air programs in fiscal year 
1999.
    (b) EPA and the States, consistent with their respective 
authorities under the Clean Air Act, shall ensure that the national 
network (designated in subsection (a)) which consists of the 
PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; monitors necessary to implement the national ambient 
air quality standards is established by December 31, 1999.
    (c)(1) The Governors shall be required to submit designations 
referred to in section 107(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act for each area 
following promulgation of the July 1997 PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; national 
ambient air quality standard within 1 year after receipt of 3 years of 
air quality monitoring data performed in accordance with any applicable 
Federal reference methods for the relevant areas. Only data from the 
monitoring network designated in subsection (a) and other Federal 
reference method PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; monitors shall be considered for such 
designations. Nothing in the previous sentence shall be construed as 
affecting the Governor's authority to designate an area initially as 
nonattainment, and the Administrator's authority to promulgate the 
designation of an area as nonattainment, under section 107(d)(1) of the 
Clean Air Act, based on its contribution to ambient air quality in a 
nearby nonattainment area.
    (2) For any area designated as nonattainment for the July 1997 
PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; national ambient air quality standard in accordance 
with the schedule set forth in this section, notwithstanding the time 
limit prescribed in paragraph (2) of section 169B(e) of the Clean Air 
Act, the Administrator shall require State implementation plan 
revisions referred to in such paragraph (2) to be submitted at the same 
time as State implementation plan revisions referred to in section 172 
of the Clean Air Act implementing the revised national ambient air 
quality standard for fine particulate matter are required to be 
submitted. For any area designated as attainment or unclassifiable for 
such standard, the Administrator shall require the State implementation 
plan revisions referred to in such paragraph (2) to be submitted 1 year 
after the area has been so designated. The preceding provisions of this 
paragraph shall not preclude the implementation of the agreements and 
recommendations set forth in the Grand Canyon Visibility Transport 
Commission Report dated June 1996.
    (d) The Administrator shall promulgate the designations referred to 
in section 107(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act for each area following 
promulgation of the July 1997 PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; national ambient air 
quality standard by the earlier of 1 year after the initial 
designations required under subsection (c)(1) are required to be 
submitted or December 31, 2005.
    (e) The Administrator shall conduct a field study of the ability of 
the PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; Federal Reference Method to differentiate those 
particles that are larger than 2.5 micrograms in diameter. This study 
shall be completed and provided to the Committee on Commerce of the 
House of Representatives and the Committee on Environment and Public 
Works of the United States Senate no later than 2 years from the date 
of enactment of this Act.

SEC. 6103. OZONE DESIGNATION REQUIREMENTS.

    (a) The Governors shall be required to submit the designations 
referred to in section 107(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act within 2 years 
following the promulgation of the July 1997 ozone national ambient air 
quality standards.
    (b) The Administrator shall promulgate final designations no later 
than 1 year after the designations required under subsection (a) are 
required to be submitted.

SEC. 6104. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.

    Nothing in sections 6101 through 6103 shall be construed by the 
Administrator of Environmental Protection Agency or any court, State, 
or person to affect any pending litigation or to be a ratification of 
the ozone or PM&lt;INF&gt;2.5&lt;/INF&gt; standards.

    guaranteed lender of an option included in the loan guarantee 
    contract, or by the borrower of an option included in the 
    guaranteed loan contract.
        ``(D) The cost of a modification is the difference between the 
    current estimate of the net present value of the remaining cash 
    flows under the terms of a direct loan or loan guarantee contract, 
    and the current estimate of the net present value of the remaining 
    cash flows under the terms of the contract, as modified.
        ``(E) In estimating net present values, the discount rate shall 
    be the average interest rate on marketable Treasury securities of 
    similar maturity to the cash flows of the direct loan or loan 
    guarantee for which the estimate is being made.
        ``(F) When funds are obligated for a direct loan or loan 
    guarantee, the estimated cost shall be based on the current 
    assumptions, adjusted to incorporate the terms of the loan 
    contract, for the fiscal year in which the funds are obligated.
        ``(2) The term `current' has the same meaning as in section 
    250(c)(9) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act 
    of 1985.
        ``(3) The term `direct loan' means a disbursement of funds by 
    the Government to a non-Federal borrower under a contract that

    purchase of, or participation in, a loan made by another lender and 
    financing arrangements that defer payment for more than 90 days, 
    including the sale of a Government asset on credit terms. The term 
    does not include the acquisition of a federally guaranteed loan in

    agreement by the Secretary to make a direct loan when specified 
    conditions are fulfilled by the borrower.

    or other pledge with respect to the payment of all or a part of the 
    principal or interest on any debt obligation of a non-Federal 
    borrower to a non-Federal lender, but does not include the 
    insurance of deposits, shares, or other withdrawable accounts in 
    financial institutions.
        ``(7) The term `loan guarantee commitment' means a binding 
    agreement by the Secretary to make a loan guarantee when specified 
    conditions are fulfilled by the borrower, the lender, or any other

    alters the estimated cost of an outstanding direct loan (or direct 
    loan obligation) or an outstanding loan guarantee (or loan 
    guarantee commitment) from the current estimate of cash flows. This 
    includes the sale of loan assets, with or without recourse, and the 
    purchase of guaranteed loans. This also includes any action 
    resulting from new legislation, or from the exercise of 
    administrative discretion under existing law, that directly or 
    indirectly alters the estimated cost of outstanding direct loans 
    (or direct loan obligations) or loan guarantees (or loan guarantee 
    commitments) such as a change in collection procedures.

``SEC. 502. DIRECT LOANS AND LOAN GUARANTEES.

    ``(a) General Authority.--The Secretary may provide direct loans

    communities or rural areas.
    ``(d) Extent of Authority.--The aggregate unpaid principal amounts 
of obligations under direct loans and loan guarantees made under this 
section shall not exceed $3,500,000,000 at any one time. Of this

projects primarily benefiting freight railroads other than Class I 
carriers.
    ``(e) Rates of Interest.--
        ``(1) Direct loans.--The Secretary shall require interes

t to be 
    paid on a direct loan made under this section at a rate not less 
    than that necessary to recover the cost of making the loan.
        ``(2) Loan guarantees.--The Secretary shall not make a loan 
    guarantee under this section if the interest rate for the loan 
    exceeds that which the Secretary determines to be reasonable, 
    taking into consideration the prevailing interest rates and 
    customary fees incurred under similar obligations in the private 
    capital market.
    ``(f) Infrastructure Partners.--
        ``(1) Authority of secretary.--In lieu of or in combination 
    with appropriations of budget authority to cover the costs of 
    direct loans and loan guarantees as required under section 
    504(b)(1) of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, the Secretary 
    may accept on behalf of an applicant for assistance under this 
    section a commitment from a non-Federal source to fund in whole or 
    in part credit risk premiums with respect to the loan that is the 
    subject of the application. In no event shall the aggregate of 
    appropriations of budget authority and credit risk premiums 
    described in this paragraph with respect to a direct loan or loan 
    guarantee be less than the cost of that direct loan or loan 
    guarantee.
        ``(2) Credit risk premium amount.--The Secretary shall 
    determine the amount required for credit risk premiums under this 
    subsection on the basis of--
            ``(A) the circumstances of the applicant, including the 
        amount of collateral offered;
            ``(B) the proposed schedule of loan disbursements;
            ``(C) historical data on the repayment history of similar 
        borrowers;
            ``(D) consultation with the Congressional Budget Office; 
        and
            ``(E) any other factors the Secretary considers relevant.
        ``(3) Payment of premiums.--Credit risk premiums under this 
    subsection shall be paid to the Secretary before the disbursement 
    of loan amounts.
        ``(4) Cohorts of loans.--In order to maintain sufficient 
    balances of credit risk premiums to adequately protect the Federal 
    Government from risk of default, while minimizing the length of 
    time the Government retains possession of those balances, the 
    Secretary shall establish cohorts of loans. When all obligations 
    attached to a cohort of loans have been satisfied, credit risk 
    premiums paid for the cohort, and interest accrued thereon, which 
    were not used to mitigate losses shall be returned to the original 
    source on a pro rata basis.
    ``(g) Prerequisites for Assistance.--The Secretary shall not make a 
direct loan or loan guarantee under this section unless the Secretary 
has made a finding in writing that--
        ``(1) repayment of the obligation is required to be made within 
    a term of not more than 25 years from the date of its execution;
        ``(2) the direct loan or loan guarantee is justified by the 
    present and probable future demand for rail services or intermodal 
    facilities;
        ``(3) the applicant has given reasonable assurances that the 
    facilities or equipment to be acquired, rehabilitated, improved, 
    developed, or established with the proceeds of the obligation will 
    be economically and efficiently utilized;
        ``(4) the obligation can reasonably be repaid, using an 
    appropriate combination of credit risk premiums and collateral 
    offered by the applicant to protect the Federal Government; and
        ``(5) the purposes of the direct loan or loan guarantee are 
    consistent with subsection (b).
    ``(h) Conditions of Assistance.--The Secretary shall, before 
granting assistance under this section, require the applicant to agree 
to such terms and conditions as are sufficient, in the judgment of the 
Secretary, to ensure that, as long as any principal or interest is due 
and payable on such obligation, the applicant, and any railroad or 
railroad partner for whose benefit the assistance is intended--
        ``(1) will not use any funds or assets from railroad or 
    intermodal operations for purposes not related to such operations, 
    if such use would impair the ability of the applicant, railroad, or 
    railroad partner to provide rail or intermodal services in an 
    efficient and economic manner, or would adversely affect the 
    ability of the applicant, railroad, or railroad partner to perform 
    any obligation entered into by the applicant under this section;
        ``(2) will, consistent with its capital resources, maintain its 
    capital program, equipment, facilities, and operations on a 
    continuing basis; and

guarantee made under section 502 may assign the loan guarantee in whole 
or in part, subject to such requirements as the Secretary may 
prescribe.

any term or condition of a direct loan, loan guarantee, direct loan 
obligation, or loan guarantee commitment, including the rate of 
interest, time of payment of interest or principal, or security 
requirements, if the Secretary finds in writing that--
        ``(1) the modification is equitable and is in the overall best 
    interests of the United States; and
        ``(2) consent has been obtained from the applicant and, in the 
    case of a loan guarantee or loan guarantee commitment, the holder 
    of the obligation.
    ``(d) Compliance.--The Secretary shall assure compliance, by an 
applicant, any other party to the loan, and any railroad or railroad 
partner for whose benefit assistance is intended, with the provisions 
of this title, regulations issued hereunder, and the terms and 
conditions of the direct loan or loan guarantee, including through 
regular periodic inspections.
    ``(e) Commercial Validity.--For purposes of claims by any party 
other than the Secretary, a loan guarantee or loan guarantee commitment 
shall be conclusive evidence that the underlying obligation is in 
compliance with the provisions of this title, and that such obligation 
has been approved and is legal as to principal, interest, and other 
terms. Such a guarantee or commitment shall be valid and incontestable 
in the hands of a holder thereof, including the original lender or any 
other holder, as of the date when the Secretary granted the application 
therefor, except as to fraud or material misrepresentation by such 
holder.
    ``(f) Default.--The Secretary shall prescribe regulations setting 
forth procedures in the event of default on a loan made or guaranteed 
under section 502. The Secretary shall ensure that each loan guarantee 
made under that section contains terms and conditions that provide 
that--
        ``(1) if a payment of principal or interest under the loan is 
    in default for more than 30 days, the Secretary shall pay to the 
    holder of the obligation, or the holder's agent, the amount of 
    unpaid guaranteed interest;

    Secretary shall pay to the holder of the obligation, or the 
    holder's agent, 90 percent of the unpaid guaranteed principal;

    liquidation or otherwise, the Secretary shall pay to the holder of 
    the obligation, or the holder's agent, any remaining amounts 
    guaranteed but which were not recovered through the default's 
    resolution;
        ``(4) the Secretary shall not be required to make any payment 
    
2000
under paragraphs (1) through (3) if the Secretary finds, before the 
    expiration of the periods described in such paragraphs, that the 
    default has been remedied; and
        ``(5) the holder of the obligation shall not receive payment or 
    be entitled to retain payment in a total amount which, together 
    with all other recoveries (including any recovery based upon a 
    security interest in equipment or facilities) exceeds the actual 
    loss of such holder.
    ``(g) Rights of the Secretary.--
        ``(1) Subrogation.--If the Secretary makes payment to a holder, 
    or a holder's agent, under subsection (g) in connection with a loan

    to all of the rights of the holder with respect to the obligor 
    under the loan.
        ``(2) Disposition of property.--The Secretary may complete, 
    recondition, reconstruct, renovate, repair, maintain, operate, 
    charter, rent, sell, or otherwise dispose of any property or other

    carrying out this paragraph.
    ``(h) Action Against Obligor.--The Secretary may bring a civil 
action in an appropriate Federal court in the name of the United States 
in the event of a default on a direct loan made under section 502, or 
in the name of the United States or of the holder of the obligation in 
the event of a default on a loan guaranteed under section 502. The 
holder of a guarantee shall make available to the Secretary all records 
and evidence necessary to prosecute the civil action. The Secretary may 
accept property in full or partial satisfaction of any sums owed as a 
result of a default. If the Secretary receives, through the sale or 
other disposition of such property, an amount greater than the 
aggregate of--
        ``(1) the amount paid to the holder of a guarantee under 
    subsection (g) of this section; and
        ``(2) any other cost to the United States of remedying the 
    default,

    ``(i) Breach of Conditions.--The Attorney General shall commence a 
civil action in an appropriate Federal court to enjoin any activity

from each applicant a reasonable charge for appraisal of the value of 
the equipment or facilities for which the direct loan or loan guarantee 
is sought, and for making necessary determinations and findings. Such 
charge shall not aggregate more than one-half of 1 percent of the 
principal amount of the obligation.'';
        (2) by striking sections 505 through 515 (other than 511(c)), 
    517, and 518;

            Subtitle C--Comprehensive One-Call Notification

SEC. 7301. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
        (1) unintentional damage to underground facilities during 
    excavation is a significant cause of disruptions in 
    telecommunications, water supply, electric power, and other vital 
    public services, such as hospital and air traffic control 
    operations, and is a leading cause of natural gas and hazardous 
    liquid pipeline accidents;
        (2) excavation that is performed without prior notification to 
    an underground facility operator or with inaccurate or untimely 
    marking of such a facility prior to excavation can cause damage 
    that results in fatalities, serious injuries, harm to the 
    environment and disruption of vital services to the public; and
        (3) protection of the public and the environment from the 
    consequences of underground facility damage caused by excavations 
    will be enhanced by a coordinated national effort to improve one-
    call notification programs in each State and the effectiveness and 
    efficiency of one-call notification systems that operate under such 
    programs.

SEC. 7302. ONE-CALL NOTIFICATION PROGRAMS.

    (a) In General.--Subtitle III of title 49, United States Code, is 
amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

``6106. Grants to States.
``6107. Authorization of appropriations.
``6108. Relationship to State laws.

``Sec. 6101. Purposes

    ``The purposes of this chapter are--
        ``(1) to enhance public safety;
        ``(2) to protect the environment;
        ``(3) to minimize risks to excavators; and
        ``(4) to prevent disruption of vital public services,

excavation through the voluntary adoption and efficient implementation 
by all States of State one-call notification programs that meet the 
minimum standards set forth under section 6103.

``Sec. 6102. Definitions

    ``In this chapter, the following definitions apply:
