effect on the day before the date of enactment of the Transportation
Efficiency Act for the 21st Century; and (8) under section 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

for the 21st Century) of title 23, United States Code, and under

Stat. 1943-1945).

of title 23, United States Code) and for carrying out subchapter I of
chapter 311 of title 49, United States Code, and 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) for a section set forth in subsection
(a)(4) shall remain available until used for obligation of funds for

imposed on obligations for Federal-aid highway and highway safety
construction programs for future fiscal years.
