DESCRIPTION OF PSP1 SPECIAL RULE REQUIREMENTS

[Tab should be named “Description of PSP1 Special Rule Requirements.”]

[Header above the text below should be “BACKGOUND”]

The statute that established the Payroll Support Program Extension (PSP2) in December 2020 included a “Special Rule” that applies to catering contractors that participated in PSP1.

Under section 4113(A)(i) of the CARES Act, a catering contractor is a person that performs catering functions under contract with a passenger air carrier conducting operations under 14 CFR part 121.

The Special Rule requires all catering contractors that participated in PSP1 to report to Treasury the amount of PSP1 funds they expended through March 31, 2021. Further, if a catering contractor that received PSP1 funds does not expend 100% of its total PSP1 funds by April 30, 2021, all remaining PSP1 funds must be repaid to Treasury.

These statutory requirements are set forth in section 412 of under Division N of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.
