Title III: General Provisions - Sets forth specified prohibitions, limitations, permissions, and mandates with respect to the use of appropriations under this Act. Makes funds available to the Coast Guard for expenses incurred in FY 1991 in responding to oil spills. Amends the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 to subject maxi-cube vehicles that travel on federally-assisted highways to State length limitations. Directs the Secretary of Transportation, with regard to the Discretionary Grants program of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration, to issue, by September 30, 1991, a letter of intent and to enter into an agreement for the Westside Light Rail extension in the Portland, Oregon, area. Requires the Secretary of Transportation to reduce by 25 percent the aggregate amount which a State may obligate for Federal-aid highways and highway safety construction programs for FY 1991 if such State does not meet specified criteria for providing a tax-based source of revenues to pay the non-Federal share of mass transportation projects. Provides for restoration of reductions if the criteria are met. Prohibits the use of funds by the Federal Aviation Administration for a new National Weather Graphics System. Prohibits the use of funds to reduce or reserve a State's apportionment of Federal-aid highway funds for reasons of noncompliance with the national 55 mph speed limit requirements. Prohibits the use of funds, unless specifically provided in this Act, to initiate multiyear contracts for a major systems acquisition program if the total value of procurement end items in the contract, including options, exceeds $100,000,000. Prohibits the use of funds to initiate a major systems acquisition contract which includes procurement options whose funding is scheduled to be provided before delivery to the Federal Government of at least 50 percent of all units previously ordered under that contract.
