Abstract: The purpose of this collection is to enable eligible business entities to apply for payroll assistance under the “Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection” (AMJP) program, established by the “American Rescue Plan Act of 2021” (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.

Emergency Justfication: This is to request the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) emergency approval for the information collection required in support of the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection (AMJP) program, which is required as part of the “American Rescue Plan Act of 2021” (ARPA), Public Law (P.L.) 117-2, enacted on March 11, 2021. The full text of the AMJP section is attached as Appendix A.
