(2) Procedure where there is excess unfunded highway authorizations If the Secretary of the Treasury determines for any fiscal year that the amount described in paragraph (1)(A) exceeds the amount described in paragraph (1)(B)— (A) he shall so advise the Secretary of Transportation, and (B) he shall further advise the Secretary of Transportation as to the amount of such excess. (3) Adjustment of apportionments where unfunded authorizations exceed 4 years’ receipts (A) Determination of percentage If, before any apportionment to the States is made, in the most recent estimate made by the Secretary of the Treasury there is an excess referred to in paragraph (2)(B), the Secretary of Transportation shall determine the percentage which— (i) the excess referred to in paragraph (2)(B), is of (ii) the amount authorized to be appropriated from the Trust Fund for the fiscal year for apportionment to the States.
