        paragraphs (4) and (5) for Federal-aid highways and highway 
        safety construction programs (other than the minimum guarantee 
        program, but only to the extent that amounts apportioned for 
        the minimum guarantee program for such fiscal year exceed 
        $2,639,000,000, and the Appalachian development highway system 
        program) that are apportioned by the Secretary under title 23, 
        United States Code, in the ratio that--
                    (A) sums authorized to be appropriated for such

                fiscal year, bear to

                all States for such fiscal year.
    (b) Exceptions From Obligation Limitation.--The obligation

105 of title 23, United States Code (but, only in an amount equal to 
$639,000,000 for such fiscal year).
    (c) Redistribution of Unused Obligation Authority.--Notwithstanding 
subsection (a), the Secretary shall after August 1 for such fiscal year 
revise a distribution of the obligation limitation made available under 
subsection (a) if a State will not obligate the amount distributed 
during that fiscal year and redistribute sufficient amounts to those

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, section 160 (as in effect 
on the day before the enactment of the Transportation Equity Act for

transportation research programs carried out under chapter 5 of title 
23, United States Code, except that obligation authority made available 
for such programs under such limitation shall remain available for a 
period of 3 fiscal years.
    (e) Redistribution of Certain Authorized Funds.--Not later than 30 
days after the date of the distribution of obligation limitation under

of title 23, United States Code) and for carrying out subchapter I of 
chapter 311 of title 49, United States Code, and highway-related 
programs under 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 (a)(6). The funds 
so distributed shall be available for any purposes described in section 
133(b) of title 23, United States Code.
    (f) Special Rule.--Obligation limitation distributed for a fiscal 
year under subsection (a)(4) of this section for a section set forth in

Administration shall accept such equipment, which shall thereafter be 
operated and maintained by FAA in accordance with agency criteria.
    Sec. 314. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and except 
for fixed guideway modernization projects, funds made available by this

                    (C) the requirement of subparagraph (B) has not 
                been met by transferring experienced inspectors from 
                other parts of the United States to the United States-
                Mexico border, undermining the level of inspection 
                coverage and safety elsewhere in the United States;
                    (D) the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 
                has implemented a policy to ensure compliance with 
                hours-of-service rules under part 395 of title 49, Code 
                of Federal Regulations, by Mexican motor carriers 
                seeking authority to operate beyond United States 
                municipalities and commercial zones on the United 
                States-Mexico border;
                    (E) the information infrastructure of the Mexican 
                government is sufficiently accurate, accessible, and 
                integrated with that of U.S. law enforcement

2000
xist at all United 
                States-Mexico border crossings used by Mexican motor 
                carrier commercial vehicles, and in all mobile 
                enforcement units operating adjacent to the border, to 
                ensure that licenses, vehicle registrations, operating 
                authority and insurance information can be easily and 
                quickly verified at border crossings or by mobile

                number of meaningful vehicle safety inspections and to 
                accommodate vehicles placed out-of-service as a result 
                of said inspections;
                    (G) there is an accessible database containing 
                sufficiently comprehensive data to allow safety 
                monitoring of all Mexican motor carriers that apply for 
                authority to operate commercial vehicles beyond United 
                States municipalities and commercial zones on the 
                United States-Mexico border and the drivers of those 
                vehicles; and
                    (H) measures are in place in Mexico, similar to 
                those in place in the United States, to ensure the 
                effective enforcement and monitoring of license 
                revocation and licensing procedures.
    For purposes of this section, the term ``Mexican motor carrier'' 
shall be defined as a Mexico-domiciled motor carrier operating beyond

    Sec. 350. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The condition of highway, railway, and waterway 
        infrastructure across the Nation varies widely and is in need 
        of improvement and investment.
            (2) Thousands of tons of hazardous chemicals, and a very 
        small amount of high level radioactive material, is transported 
        along the Nation's highways, railways, and waterways each year.
            (3) The volume of hazardous chemical transport increased by 
        over one-third in the last 25 years and is expected to continue 
        to increase. Some propose significantly increasing radioactive 
        material transport.
            (4) Approximately 261,000 people were evacuated across the 
        Nation because of rail-related accidental releases of hazardous 
        chemicals between 1978 and 1995, and during that period 
        industry reported 8 transportation accidents involving the 
        small volume of high level radioactive waste transported during 
        that period.
            (5) The Federal Railroad Administration has significantly 
        decreased railroad inspections and has allocated few resources 
        since 1993 to assure the structural integrity of railroad 
        bridges. Train derailments have increased by 18 percent over 
        roughly the same period.
            (6) The poor condition of highway, railway, and waterway 
        infrastructure, increases in the volume of hazardous chemical 
        transport, and proposed increases in radioactive material 
        transport increase the risk of accidents involving such 
        chemicals and materials.
            (7) Measuring the risks of hazardous chemical or 
        radioactive material accidents and preventing such accidents 
        requires specific information concerning the condition and 
        suitability of specific transportation routes contemplated for 
        such transport to inform and enable investment in related 
        infrastructure.
            (8) Mitigating the impact of hazardous chemical and 
        radioactive material transportation accidents requires skilled, 
        localized, and well-equipped emergency response personnel along 
        all specifically identified transportation routes.
            (9) Accidents involving hazardous chemical or radioactive 
        material transport pose threats to the public health and 
        safety, the environment, and the economy.
    (b) Study.--The Secretary of Transportation shall, in consultation 
with the Comptroller General of the United States, conduct a study of 
the hazards and risks to public health and safety, the environment, and 
the economy associated with the transportation of hazardous chemicals 
and radioactive material.
    (c) Matters To Be Addressed.--The study under subsection (b) shall 
address the following matters:
            (1) Whether the Federal Government conducts individualized 
        and detailed evaluations and inspections of the condition and 
        suit
2000
ability of specific transportation routes for the current, 
        and any anticipated or proposed, transport of hazardous 
        chemicals and radioactive material, including whether resources 
        and information are adequate to conduct such evaluations and 
        inspections.
            (2) The costs and time required to ensure adequate 
        inspection of specific transportation routes and related 
        infrastructure and to complete the infrastructure improvements 
        necessary to ensure the safety of current, and any anticipated 
        or proposed, hazardous chemical and radioactive material 
        transport.
            (3) Whether Federal, State, and local emergency 
        preparedness personnel, emergency response personnel, and 
        medical personnel are adequately trained and equipped to 
        promptly respond to accidents along specific transportation 
        routes for current, anticipated, or proposed hazardous chemical 
        and radioactive material transport.
            (4) The costs and time required to ensure that Federal, 
        State, and local emergency preparedness personnel, emergency 
        response personnel, and medical personnel are adequately 
        trained and equipped to promptly respond to accidents along 
        specific transportation routes for current, anticipated, or 
        proposed hazardous chemical and radioactive material transport.
            (5) The availability of, or requirements to establish, 
        information collection and dissemination systems adequate to 
        provide the public, in an accessible manner, with timely, 
        complete, specific, and accurate information (including 
        databases) concerning actual, proposed, or anticipated 
        shipments by highway, railway, or waterway of hazardous 
        chemicals and radioactive materials, including accidents 
        involving the transportation of such chemicals and materials by 
        those means.
    (d) Deadline for Completion.--The study under subsection (b) shall 
be completed not later than six months after the date of the enactment 
of this Act.
    (e) Report.--Upon completion of the study under subsection (b), the 
Secretary shall submit to Congress a report on the study.
    Sec. 351. (a) Of the funds appropriated by title I for the Federal 
Railroad Administration under the heading ``Railroad Research and 
Development'', up to $750,000 may be expended to pay 25 percent of the 
total cost of a comprehensive study to assess existing problems in the 
freight and passenger rail infrastructure in the vicinity of Baltimore, 
Maryland, that the Secretary of Transportation shall carry out through 
the Federal Railroad Administration in cooperation with, and with a 
total amount of equal funding contributed by, Norfolk-Southern 
Corporation, CSX Corporation, and the State of Maryland.
    (b)(1) The study shall include an analysis of the condition, track, 
and clearance limitations and efficiency of the existing tunnels, 
bridges, and other railroad facilities owned or operated by CSX 
Corporation, Amtrak, and Norfolk-Southern Corporation in the Baltimore 
area.
    (2) The study shall examine the benefits and costs of various 
alternatives for reducing congestion and improving safety and 
efficiency in the operations on the rail infrastructure in the vicinity 
of Baltimore, including such alternatives for improving operations as 
shared usage of track, and such alternatives for improving the rail 
infrastructure as possible improvements to existing tunnels, bridges, 
and other railroad facilities, or construction of new facilities.
    (c) Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary shall submit a report on the results of the study to 
Congress. The report shall include recommendations on the matters 
described in subsection (b)(2).
    Sec. 352. Priority Highway Projects, Georgia. In selecting projects 
to carry out using funds apportioned under section 110 of title 23, 
United States Code, the State of Georgia shall give priority 
consideration to the following projects:
            (1) Improving Johnson Ferry Road from the Chattahoochee 
        River to Abernathy Road, including the bridge over the 
        Chattahoochee River.
            (2) Widening Abernathy Road from 2 to 4 lanes from Johnson 
        Ferry Road to Roswell Road.
    Sec. 353. Safety Belt Use Law Requirements. Section 355(a) of the

amended by striking ``has achieved'' and all that follows and inserting 
the following: ``has achieved a safety belt use rate of not less than 
50 percent.''.
    Sec. 354. Study of Mississippi River Bridge in Memphis, Tennessee. 
Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
Secretary of Transportation shall conduct a study and submit to 
Congress a report on the costs and benefits of constructing a third 
bridge across the Mississippi River in the Memphis, Tennessee, 
metropolitan area.
    Sec. 355. (a) Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Section 345 of the National Highway System Designation 
        Act of 1995 authorizes limited relief to drivers of certain 
        types of commercial motor vehicles from certain restrictions on 
        maximum driving time and on-duty time.
            (2) Subsection (c) of that section requires the Secretary 
        of Transportation to determine by rulemaking proceedings that 
        the exemptions granted are not in the public interest and 
        adversely affect the safety of commercial motor vehicles.
            (3) Subsection (d) of that section requires the Secretary 
        of Transportation to monitor the safety performance of drivers 
        of commercial motor vehicles who are subject to an exemption 
        under section 345 and report to Congress prior to the 
        rulemaking proceedings.
    (b) It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of 
Transportation should not take any action that would diminish or revoke 
any exemption in effect on the date of the enactment of this Act for 
drivers of vehicles under section 345 of the National Highway System 
Designation Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-59; 109 Stat. 613; 49 U.S.C. 
31136 note) unless the requirements of subsections (c) and (d) of such 
section are satisfied.
    Sec. 356. Section 41703 of title 49, United States Code, is amended

    ``(e) Air Cargo Via Alaska.--For purposes of subsection (c) of this 
section, cargo taken on or off any aircraft at a place in Alaska in the 
course of transportation of that cargo by one or more air carriers or 
foreign air carriers in either direction between any place in the 
United States and a place not in the United States shall not be deemed 
to have broken its international journey, be taken on in, or be 
destined for Alaska.''.
    Sec. 357. Point Retreat Light Station, including all property under 
lease as of June 1, 2000, is transferred to the Alaska Lighthouse 
Association.
