CERTIFICATE OF APPORTIONMENT FROM THE SUM OF $1,028,000,000 AUTHORIZED TO BE APPROPRIATED FOR THE CONGESTION MITIGATION AND AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

TO--

The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States and the State Highway Departments:

Pursuant to section 9503 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, title 23, United States Code, and the delegation of authority from the Secretary of Transportation to the Federal Highway Administrator, section 1.48 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, I certify--

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 which can be apportioned for the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995, is $1,028,000,000 which is 100 per centum of the amount authorized to be appropriated for the Program for that fiscal year pursuant to section 1003(a)(4) of the IntermodalSurface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991.

Second, that in compliance with section 104(a) of title 23, United States Code, I have estimated that it will be necessary for administering the provisions of title 23 and for highway research and studies, to deduct 3.75 per centum from the amount authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995, for the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program and I have deducted said 3.75 per centum from the sum of $1,028,000,000 authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year ending September 30, 1995, by section 1003(a)(4) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991.

Third, that in compliance with section 104(f)(1) of title 23, United States Code, and after making the deduction authorized by section 104(f)(1) of title 23, United States Code, and after making the deduction authorized by section 104(a) of title 23, United States Code, I have deducted one per centum of the sum remaining from the authorization of $1,028,000,000 for fiscal year ending September 30, 1995, for the purpose of carrying out section 134 of title 23, United States Code.

Fourth, that under the provisions of section 153(h) of title 23, United States Code, 1.5 per centum of the amount required tobe apportioned to the States of Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming is transferred to the apportionment of the State under section 402 of title 23.

Fifth, that after making the deductions, I have computed the apportionment among the several States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico of the remaining of the amounts authorized to be appropriated for the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program in the manner provided by law in accordance with the formula set forth in section 104(b)(2) of title 23, United States Code.

Sixth, that subject to the foregoing deductions, the sums which are hereby apportioned to each State, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, effective immediately are respectively as follows:
