Sec. 22104. State rail plan financing

    (a) Entitlement and Uses.--On the first day of each fiscal year, 
each State is entitled to $36,000 of the amounts made available under 
section 22108 of this title during that fiscal year to be used--
        (1) to establish, update, revise, and modify the State plan 
    required by section 22102 of this title; or
        (2) to carry out projects described in section 22101(a)(1), (2), 
    or (3) of this title, as designated by the State, if those projects 
    meet the requirements of section 22101(c)(1)(B) of this title.

    (b) Applications.--Each State must apply for amounts under this 
section not later than the first day of the fiscal year for which the 
amounts are available. However, for any fiscal year for which the 
authorization of appropriations for financial assistance under this 
chapter has not been enacted by the first day of the fiscal year, the 
State must apply for amounts under this section not later than 60 days 
after the date of enactment of a law authorizing the appropriations for 
that fiscal year. Not later than 60 days after receiving an application, 
the Secretary of Transportation shall consider the application and 
notify the State of the approval or disapproval of the application.
    (c) Availability of Amounts.--Amounts provided under this section 
remain available to a State for obligation for the first 3 months after 
the end of the fiscal year for which the amounts were made available. 
Amounts not applied for under this section or that remain unobligated 
after the first 3 months after the end of the fiscal year for which the 
amounts were made available are available to the Secretary for projects 
meeting the requirements of this chapter.

    In subsection (a)(1), the word ``modify'' is added for consistency 
with 49 App.:1654(a), restated in section 22102 of the revised title.
    In subsection (b), the words ``not later than the first day of the 
fiscal year for which the amounts are available'' are substituted for 
``on or before the first day of the fiscal year'' for clarity.
    In subsection (c), the word ``timely'' is omitted as unnecessary. 
The words ``the first 3 months after the end of the fiscal year for 
which the amounts were made available'' are substituted for ``the 
expiration of the period described in the previous sentence'' for 
clarity.
