Congress agreed to the conference committee\nreport on February 13, 2003. It provides $64.6 billion to the DOT and related agencies for FY2003,\nminus a 0.65% across-the-board rescission which reduces the total by around $420 million (figures\nin this report do not reflect the 0.65% rescission, as it is unclear how that cut would be calculated\nfor DOT and related agencies overall and for particular departments, agencies, and programs in the\nbill). This is $9 billion more than the President requested for FY2003, the primary difference being\nincreased highway spending. It is $1.8 billion less than enacted in FY2002, a year in which\ntransportation appropriations were boosted by supplemental spending for security and for repair of\ndamage to transportation infrastructure in New York City. Prior to the passage of P.L. 108-7 , DOT\nwas funded through a series of 8 Continuing Resolutions (CRs) that provided funding at FY2002\nlevels, prorated.\n The events of September 11, 2001, have had a significant impact on DOT's budget. The DOT\nreceived an extra $7.3 billion in FY2002 in emergency supplemental appropriations, much of it for\nsecurity-related activities, including the creation of an entirely new agency, the Transportation\nSecurity Administration (TSA). During FY2003 the Coast Guard and TSA are scheduled to be\ntransferred to the newly-created Department of Homeland Security. \n The abrupt decrease from FY2002 to FY2003 in requested federal-aid highway funding--from\n$32 billion to $24 billion--caused a stir. It was mandated by the Revenue-Aligned Budget Authority\n(RABA) provision in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) that ties annual\nhighway funding levels to trust fund revenues; trust fund revenues dropped below predicted levels\nin 2001. The second FY2002 emergency supplemental act ( P.L. 107-206 ) included a provision\nsetting the RABA adjustment for FY2003 to zero, effectively restoring the federal-aid highway\nprogram to $27.7 billion, the level authorized in TEA-21. The House Appropriations Committee\nrecommended this level; the Senate-passed version of H.J.Res. 2 maintained the\nFY2002 level (which was $4.5 billion over the authorized level as a result of a RABA increase that\nyear) for FY2003, $31.8 billion. P.L. 108-7 provided $31.8 billion.\n P.L. 108-7 provides Amtrak $1.05 billion, plus deferral of repayment of a $100 million loan,\nwhich it said would be enough to keep it solvent through FY2003. The bill introduced a new policy\non Amtrak oversight, providing the money not to Amtrak directly but to the Secretary of\nTransportation, who will provide the money to Amtrak in quarterly installments through the\ngrant-making process. Each of Amtrak's long-distance routes will have to have a separate grant\napplication for funding.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": false, "formats": [ { "format": "HTML", "encoding": "utf-8", "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/RL31308", "sha1": "1a9c78d44e73b78429e820dbf6349d78edfea8c5", "filename": "files/20030226_RL31308_1a9c78d44e73b78429e820dbf6349d78edfea8c5.html", "images": null }, { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/RL31308", "sha1": "4123466c8dca3bab2d79ccd81801be7f57a5ae77", "filename": "files/20030226_RL31308_4123466c8dca3bab2d79ccd81801be7f57a5ae77.pdf", "images": null } ], "topics": [] }, { "source": "University of North Texas Libraries Government Documents Department", "sourceLink": "https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs4595/", "id": "RL31308 2003-02-12", "date": "2003-02-12", "retrieved": "2005-06-11T10:15:57", "title": "Appropriations for FY2003: Transportation and Related Agencies", "summary": "Appropriations are one part of a complex federal budget process that includes budget resolutions, appropriations (regular, supplemental, and continuing) bills, rescissions, and budget reconciliation bills.
