administrative expenses, and liquidations of contract authorizations) for: (1)
the Office of the Secretary of Transportation; (2) the Coast Guard; (3) the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); (4) the Federal Highway Administration
(FHA); (5) the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; (6) the Federal
Railroad Administration; (7) the Federal Transit Administration; (8) the Saint

under this Act identical or similar to those enacted in the Department of
Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999 (P.L. 105-277).
(Sec. 314) Authorizes airports to transfer to the FAA, without consideration,
instrument landing systems (along with associated approach lighting equipment
and runway visual range equipment) which conform to FAA design and performance
specifications and which were purchased with airport development grant funds.
(Sec. 318) Bars the use of funds under this Act to compensate in excess of
320 technical staff-years under the federally funded research and development

fell below 10,000; (2) which had at least 10,000 passenger boardings in the
calendar year prior to the calendar year used to calculate apportionments to
airport sponsors in a fiscal year; and (3) in which the cause of the shortfall
in passenger boardings was a temporary but significant interruption in service
by an air carrier to that airport due to an employment action, natural disaster,
or other event unrelated to the demand for air transportation at the affected
airport.
(Sec. 325) Prohibits the use of funds (as in Public Law 105-277) for employee
training which: (1) does not meet identified needs for knowledge, skills, and
abilities bearing directly upon the performance of official duties; (2) contains

specified lobbying activities with respect to a Member of Congress or a State

from an air carrier at O'Hare International Airport in excess of the total slots
withdrawn from that air carrier as of October 31, 1993, if such additional slot
is to be allocated to another air carrier or foreign air carrier.
(Sec. 331) Requires the transfer of funds made available under this Act, and
any prior year unobligated funds, for the Charleston, South Carolina Monobeam
Corridor Project to the Transit Planning and Research Account.
(Sec. 332) Prohibits the provision of essential air service subsidies to
communities in the 48 contiguous States that are fewer than 70 miles from the

the nearest large or medium hub airport.
(Sec. 335) Authorizes appropriations for expenses of the Amtrak Reform
Council for FY 2001. Includes within the duties of such Council the
identification of Amtrak routes which are candidates for closure or realignment
based on performance rankings developed by Amtrak which incorporate information
on each route's fully allocated costs and ridership on core intercity passenger
service, and which assume that Federal subsidies for Amtrak will decline from FY
1999 to FY 2002.
(Sec. 337) Prohibits the use of funds under this Act for: (1) activities
under the Aircraft Purchase Loan Guarantee Program; and (2) operations of the
Office of Motor Carriers within the FHA.

at a maximum of 80 percent (currently, 80 percent period) the Government's FY

in a smaller urbanized area (population between 128,000 and 128,200); and (2)

710 Freeway, issued by the United States Department of Transportation, FHA, on
April 13, 1998).
(Sec. 346) Prohibits the use of funds to enforce any regulation or law that
requires an air carrier that provides intrastate or interstate air
transportation to provide a peanut-free buffer zone or any other related
peanut-restricted area, or restrict the distribution of peanuts, until 90 days
after submission to Congress and the Secretary of Transportation of a
peer-reviewed scientific study that determines that there are severe reactions
by passengers to peanuts as a result of contact with very small airborne peanut
particles of the kind that passengers might encounter in an aircraft.
(Sec. 349) Directs the Commandant of the Coast Guard to convey, without
consideration, all right, title, and interest of the United States (including
all easements and rights-of-way) in certain real property located in New Castle,

records for any purpose not permitted under specified law; and (2) a person's
driver license photograph, social security number, and medical or disability
information from a motor vehicle record without the express consent of the
person, except as permitted under specified law. Declares that such requirements
shall not affect the use of organ donation information on the individual's
driver license or affect the administration of organ donation initiatives in the
States. Excludes specified States from immediate compliance with such
requirements pending the Supreme Court's decision on Reno vs. Condon.
(Sec. 351) Earmarks amounts provided in this Act for completion of the
National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS).
(Sec. 352) Amends the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of

that are involuntarily denied boarding the option of obtaining a prompt cash
refund for the full value of their airline ticket.
(Sec. 355) Amends the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997 to
repeal the mandate that Federal agencies refuse to accept, for any
identification-related purpose, a State-issued driver's license or other
comparable identification document that does not meet specified Federal
requirements (including presence of a social security account number).

facilities.
(Sec. 361) Amends the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century to
reduce the allocations for specified high priority transportation and highway
projects for FY 1998 through 2003. Replaces the current high priority project to
construct Highway 425 from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, to the Louisiana State Line

highway projects in the corridor east of Wilmar and west of Monticello,

(Sec. 365) Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency
to make a grant for the purpose of conducting a study to: (1) develop methods
for calculating reductions in emissions of precursors of ground level ozone that
are achieved within a geographic area as a result of reduced
vehicle-miles-traveled in the geographic area; (2) for purposes of reducing such
emissions and compliance with the Clean Air Act, develop a pilot program whereby
employers would authorize and encourage telecommuting by their employees, in
exchange for tradable air pollution credits reflecting resulting emissions
reductions; and (3) determine whether such program could have positive effects
on national, State, and local transportation and infrastructure policies, and on
energy conservation and consumption. Requires such program to be carried out in:
(1) the greater metropolitan region of the District of Columbia (including areas

States conveyed lands to the City of Safford, Arizona, for use by the city as an
airport.
(Sec. 367) Bars the use of funds in this Act to make a grant unless the
Secretary of Transportation notifies the Committees on Appropriations not less
than three full business days before any discretionary grant award, letter of
intent, or full funding grant agreement totaling $1 million or more is announced
by the Department of Transportation or its modal administrations from: (1) any
discretionary grant program of the FHA other than the emergency relief program;
(2) the FAA airport improvement program; or (3) any FTA program other than the
formula grants and fixed guideway modernization programs.

Related Agencies Appropriations Acts for fiscal years 1998 and 1999 for an
intermodal facility in Eureka, California, available for the expansion and
rehabilitation of a bus maintenance facility in Humboldt County, California.

specified funds associated with a study of alternatives to rail relocation.
