Abstract: The purpose of this collection was 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 requested 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. DOT is now renewing and updating the collection to support the ongoing administration of those agreements.

Short Statement: DOT originally estimated as many as 4,900 applications. Initially, DOT received only 384 applications. DOT then reopened the application process for another four-week period, and received another 191 applications. Those figures reflect some duplicate or replacement applications. To be conservative, DOT is rounding the figure up to 600 applications in total. DOT originally estimated that the application process itself could require up to 9 hours, plus 1 hour to assemble the necessary documentation to support eligibility criteria, plus 2 hours to complete the online application process. That equated to a total of 12 hours. Based on anecdotal observations and the nature of questions received, DOT has now increased that estimate to 16 hours.
