SEC. 426. (a) Section 507(a) of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 (title V, Public Law 97-248, 96 Stat. 679) is amended by redesignating paragraph (3) as paragraph (3)(A) and adding immediately thereafter a new subparagraph (B) as follows: "(B) There is hereby established a supplementary discretionary fund consisting of those amounts to be credited to such fund pursuant to section 505(a) of this title. Amounts in the supplementary discretionary fund shall be distributed by the Secretary in the same manner and for the same purposes as funds distributed pursuant to subparagraph (A) except that (i) such amounts may only be distributed for projects involving construction, reconstruction, or repair begun after the date of enactment of this subparagraph and not to pay for any such work begun before such date, and (ii) the Secretary shall give preference to those projects that increase the safety or capacity of the airport receiving such funds. If any Act of Congress has the effect of limiting or reducing the amount authorized or available to be obligated for any fiscal year for the purposes of section 505, the Secretary shall implement such limitation or reduction by deferring the distribution of a corresponding amount of supplementary discretionary funds until a subsequent fiscal year. In no event may the Secretary reduce any other apportionment or distribution under this section in order to comply with any such Congressional limitation or reduction unless all of the supplementary discretionary funds available for distribution in such year have been deferred until a subsequent fiscal year.", (b) Section 505(a) of such Act is amended by— (1) striking out "$1,050,000,000" and inserting in lieu thereof $1,250,000,000, of which $200,000,000 shall be credited to the supplementary discretionary fund established by paragraph (3)(B) of section 507(a) of this title"; (2) striking out "$1,843,500,000" and inserting in lieu thereof "$2,243,500,000, of which $400,000,000 shall be credited to such fund";
