LIMITATION - LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 provides for the limitation of obligations as follows:

1. Obligations for Federal-aid highways are limited to $16,800,000,000 for FY 1992.
2. In accordance with section 1004 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 the Office of Management and Budget has scored the budgetary impact of this Act and has determined that a $1,113,636,000 reduction in obligation limitation for 1992 is required. Reduction in contract authority is not required.
3. This limitation shall not apply to obligations for projects covered under:

   (1) Sections 125, and 157, of Title 23, United States Code (23 U.S.C.);

   (2) Section 147 of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1978;

   (3) Section 9 of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1981;

   (4) Obligations to carry out the provisions of Sections 131(b) and 131(j) of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 (Public Law 97-424);

   (5) Section 404 of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982;

   (6) Sections 1103 through 1108 of the \Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991;

   (7) Obligations of funds made available under subsections (b) and (c) of Section 149 of the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987.

4. Each State is guaranteed sufficient authority to prevent lapse of sums authorized to be appropriated for Federal-aid highways and highway safety construction programs which have been apportioned or allocated to a State.
5. Amounts authorized for administration, the Federal Lands Highway Program, the National High Speed Ground Transportation Programs and Demonstration projects under Section 149(d) of the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987, are charged to the limitation but are excluded from the State-by-State distribution.
6. After August 1, 1992, the Secretary will revise a distribution of funds made available if a State does not plan to obligate the amount distributed during FY 1992 and redistribute such amounts to those States able to obligate amounts in addition to those previously distributed during FY 1992. The redistribution will give priority to those States having large unobligated balances of funds apportioned under 23 U.S.C. 104, and 144.
7. Funds apportioned for FY 1992 or allocated to the States during FY 1992 have been used to determine the factors for making a State-by-State distribution of the obligation limitation. The State-by-State distribution of the FY 1992 obligation limitation shown on Attachment 1 is based on actual FY 1992 apportionments.
8. During the period October 1 through December 31, 1991, no State shall obligate more than 35 percent of the amount of obligation limitation distributed on such State, as discussed in g. above, and the total of all State obligations during such period shall not exceed 25 percent of the total amount distributed to all States.
