1/ This table summarizes data reported in greater detail in the FA, FE, SF, and LGF table series. Some data are preliminary. Table HF-10A

contains final data for all units of government for 1995.

2/ Includes the Mass Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund. Also includes Federal Highway Administration activities funded by general funds and

all other agencies and funds that make appropriations for highways or that receive highway-user revenues. See Table FA-5 for additional information.

3/ Data for local governments are estimated.

4/ Represents gross receipts less refunds and loss allowances.

5/ Federal column amount represents net collections less transfers to the Highway and MassTransit accounts of the Highway Trust Fund. Due to

timing differences between collections and transfers to the Highway Trust Fund, the amount will not correspond exactly to distributions for deficit

reduction.

6/ Includes only those collection and administrative costs paid from motor-fuel and motor-vehicle tax receipts. Operational costs of toll facilities are

reported as traffic services. Federal collection expenses are excluded since they are paid for by the General Fund. Local expenses are excluded,

because local motor-fuel and motor-vehicle tax data are reported net of collection expenses.

7/ Amounts shown represent Federal payments to territories, and Federal expenditures in territories for highways and mass transit. Territories' funding

for highways are excluded from the highway finance table series. See Table R-1 for details on territories.

8/ Proceeds and redemptions of short-term notes and refunding issues are excluded.

9/ Negative numbers indicate that funds were placed in reserves.

10/ Includes small amounts of engineering and equipment costs not charged to capital outlay and maintenance.
