    In subsection (a), the words ``to carry out this chapter'' are 
substituted for ``for the purposes of this section'' and ``under this 
section'' for clarity. The reference to fiscal years 1991 and 1992 is 
omitted as obsolete.
    Subsection (c) is added because section 2(b)(1) of the Local Rail 
Service Reauthorizing Act (Public Law 101-213, 103 Stat. 1843) provided 
that amounts available for fiscal year 1990 to carry out section 5(i) of 
the Department of Transportation Act that were not applied for or 
remained unobligated are available to the Secretary in carrying out 
projects under this chapter, as in effect on October 1, 1990.


                             Pub. L. 103-429

App.:1654(q) by section 1 of the Act of July 5, 1994 (Public Law 103-
272, 108 Stat. 898).
