Abstract: The Act authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to make loans, loan guarantees, and other investments that do not exceed $500 billion in the aggregate to provide liquidity to eligible businesses related to losses incurred as a result of coronavirus. Section 4003(b)(1)-(3) authorizes the Secretary to make loans and loan guarantees available to passenger air carriers and cargo air carriers, as well as certain related businesses, and businesses critical to maintaining national security.

Emergency Justfication: On March 27, 2020, the President signed the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” or the “CARES Act,” (P.L. 116-136) which provides emergency assistance and health care response for individuals, families and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and provides emergency appropriations to support executive branch agency operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Act, among other things, authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to make loans, loan guarantees, and other investments that do not exceed $500 billion in the aggregate to provide liquidity to eligible businesses, States, and municipalities related to losses incurred as a result of coronavirus. Section 4003(b)(1)-(3) authorizes the Secretary to make loans and loan guarantees available to passenger air carriers and cargo air carriers, as well as certain related businesses, and businesses critical to maintaining national security. Section 4003(c) of the Act requires the Department of the Treasury (“Department”) to publish application procedures and minimum requirements for loans, loan guarantees, or other investments under Section 4003(b)(1)-(3) within ten days after enactment. The Act also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to provide payments to passenger and cargo air carriers, as well as certain contractors, which shall exclusively be used for the continuation of payment of employee wages, salaries, and benefits. Section 4113 requires the Department to publish streamlined and expedited procedures within five days of enactment of the Act for air carriers and contractors to submit requests for such payroll support. Not later than ten days of enactment of the Act, the Department is required to make initial payments to air carriers and contractors that submit requests approved by the Secretary. Because of the immediate need addressed by these programs and the Act’s urgent deadlines, the Department requests emergency processing for the applications and related reporting under these sections of the Act.
