6427(l) shall be treated for purposes of subpara-
graphs (A) and (B) as a payment made by the
Secretary under such paragraph.
(d) Adjustments of apportionments
(1) Estimates of unfunded highway authoriza-
tions and net highway receipts
The Secretary of the Treasury, not less fre-

(A) the amount which would (but for this
subsection) be the unfunded highway author-
izations at the close of the next fiscal year,
and
(B) the net highway receipts for the 48-
month period beginning at the close of such
fiscal year.
(2) Procedure where there is excess unfunded
highway authorizations
If the Secretary of the Treasury determines
for any fiscal year that the amount described
in paragraph (1)(A) exceeds the amount de-
scribed in paragraph (1)(B)—
(A) he shall so advise the Secretary of
Transportation, and
(B) he shall further advise the Secretary of
Transportation as to the amount of such ex-
cess.
(3) Adjustment of apportionments where un-
funded authorizations exceed 4 years’ re-
ceipts
(A) Determination of percentage
If, before any apportionment to the States
is made, in the most recent estimate made
by the Secretary of the Treasury there is an
excess referred to in paragraph (2)(B), the
Secretary of Transportation shall determine
the percentage which—
(i) the excess referred to in paragraph
(2)(B), is of
(ii) the amount authorized to be appro-
priated from the Trust Fund for the fiscal
year for apportionment to the States.
If, but for this sentence, the most recent es-
timate would be one which was made on a
date which will be more than 3 months be-
fore the date of the apportionment, the Sec-
retary of the Treasury shall make a new es-
timate under paragraph (1) for the appro-
priate fiscal year.
(B) Adjustment of apportionments
If the Secretary of Transportation deter-
mines a percentage under subparagraph (A)
for purposes of any apportionment, notwith-
standing any other provision of law, the Sec-
retary of Transportation shall apportion to
the States (in lieu of the amount which, but
for the provisions of this subsection, would
be so apportioned) the amount obtained by
reducing the amount authorized to be so ap-
portioned by such percentage.
(4) Apportionment of amounts previously with-
held from apportionment
If, after funds have been withheld from ap-
portionment under paragraph (3)(B), the Sec-
retary of the Treasury determines that the
amount described in paragraph (1)(A) does not
exceed the amount described in paragraph
(1)(B) or that the excess described in para-
graph (1)(B) is less than the amount previously
Page 4126
TITLE 26—INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
§ 9503
determined, he shall so advise the Secretary of
Transportation. The Secretary of Transpor-
tation shall apportion to the States such por-
tion of the funds so withheld from apportion-
ment as the Secretary of the Treasury has ad-
vised him may be so apportioned without
causing the amount described in paragraph
(1)(A) to exceed the amount described in para-
graph (1)(B). Any funds apportioned pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall remain avail-
able for the period for which they would be
available if such apportionment took effect
with the fiscal year in which they are appor-
tioned pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(5) Definitions
For purposes of this subsection—
(A) Unfunded highway authorizations
The term ‘‘unfunded highway authoriza-
tions’’ means, at any time, the excess (if
any) of—

ments at such time as a result of the ap-
portionment to the States of the amounts
authorized to be appropriated from the
Highway Trust Fund, over
(ii) the amount available in the Highway
Trust Fund at such time to defray such
commitments (after all other unpaid com-
mitments at such time which are payable
from the Highway Trust Fund have been
defrayed).
(B) Net highway receipts
The term ‘‘net highway receipts’’ means,
with respect to any period, the excess of—
(i) the receipts (including interest) of the
Highway Trust Fund during such period,
over
(ii) the amounts to be transferred during
such period from such Fund under sub-
section (c) (other than paragraph (1) there-
of).
(6) Measurement of net highway receipts
For purposes of making any estimate under
paragraph (1) of net highway receipts for peri-
ods ending after the date specified in sub-
section (b)(1), the Secretary shall treat—
(A) each expiring provision of subsection
(b) which is related to appropriations or
transfers to the Highway Trust Fund to have
been extended through the end of the 48-
month period referred to in paragraph (1)(B),
and
(B) with respect to each tax imposed under
the sections referred to in subsection (b)(1),
the rate of such tax during the 48-month pe-
riod referred to in paragraph (1)(B) to be the
same as the rate of such tax as in effect on
the date of such estimate.

Any estimate under paragraph (1) and any
determination under paragraph (2) shall be re-
ported by the Secretary of the Treasury to the
Committee on Ways and Means of the House of
Representatives, the Committee on Finance of

to the Mass Transit Account the mass transit
portion of the amounts appropriated to the
Highway Trust Fund under subsection (b)

with respect to which tax was imposed under
section 4041 or 4081 and otherwise deposited
into the Highway Trust Fund, the amount de-
termined at the rate of—
(A) except as otherwise provided in this
sentence, 2.86 cents per gallon,
