The purpose of this collection is to enable eligible business entities to apply for payroll assistance under the âAviation Manufacturing Jobs Protectionâ (AMJP) program, established by the âAmerican Rescue Plan Act of 2021â (ARPA), Public Law (P.L.) 117-2, which was enacted on March 11, 2021. DOT is requesting emergency approval due to the urgency of making the associated funds available to business entities whose continued viability is crucial to supporting the aviation industry in the United States, which is vital to the United States economic recovery. The statutory requirements of the AJMP also require swift implementation, including a strict six-month timeframe during which DOT may enter into payroll support agreements with eligible businesses.

The full text of the AMJP section is attached as Appendix A.
