CERTIFICATE OF APPORTIONMENT FROM THE SUM OF $2,548,515,684 AUTHORIZED TO BE APPROPRIATED FOR THE INTERSTATE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

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 in section 1.48, title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, I certify--

First, that the Secretary of the Treasury has made the estimate required be section 9503(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and based on that the estimate, I have determined that the amount which can be apportioned for the Interstate Maintenance Program for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, is $2,548,515,684 which is 100 per centum of the amount authorized to be appropriated for that Program for that fiscal year pursuant to section 1003(a)(1) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of1991.

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, 1996, for the Interstate Maintenance Program and I have deducted said 3.75 per centum from the sum of $2,548,515,684 authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, by section 1003(a)(1) 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(a) of title 23, United States Code, I have deducted one per centum of the sum remaining from the authorization of $2,548,515,684 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, for the purpose of carrying out section 134 of title 23, United States Code.

Fourth, that under the provisions of section 158(a)(2) of title 23, United States Code, the national minimum drinking age law, 10 per centum of the amount required to be apportioned to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico for theInterstate Maintenance Program has been withheld from apportionment and transferred to the Interstate 4R discretionary fund administered under section 118(b) of title 23, United States Code.

Fifth, that after making the deductions and withholding, I have computed the apportionment among the several States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico of the remainder of the amounts authorized to be appropriated for the Interstate Maintenance Program in the manner provided by law in accordance with the formula set forth in section 104(b)(5)(B) of title 23, United States Code.

Sixth, that such sums are adjusted as required by section 1003(c) of Public Law 102-240.

Seventh, that subject to the foregoing deductions, withholding, and readjustment, 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:
