Subsection 5(o) was a conforming provision intended to preserve availability of the described unobligated apportionments- for the new section 9 program. DECISION BACKGROUND The Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) asks whether subsection 5(o) of tne Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964 (Act), as amended, 49 U.S.C. S 1604(o), authorizes UMTA to transfer certain unobligated balances of section 5 funds to the section 9 appropriation. For the reasons given below, we find that these balances can be so transferred. Section 5 of the Act, Pub. L. No. 88-365, 78 Stat. 302, 304, as amended, codified at 49 U.S.C. § 1604, authorized an urban mass transit grant program for construction ana operating assistance. Subsection 5(o), 49 U.S.C. S 1604(o), which was addea by the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982, Pub. L. No. 97-424, 96 Stat. 2097, 2151, provides that any sums apportioned under section 5 before October 1, 1982 that were available for expenditure in any urbanized area and were unobligated on October 1, 1985, are to be added to amounts available for apportionment under section 9 of the Act, 49 U.S.C. S 1607a, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1986. Section 9, which also was added by the Surface Trans- portation Assistance Act, Pub. L. No. 97-424, 96 Stat. at 2141, authorizes block grants for construction and operating expenses for mass transit projects.
