OMB Control Number: 2106–0048. 

Type of Request: Renewal and update 

of Information Collection previously 

approved. 

Abstract: The Department of 

Transportation (DOT) hereby asks the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approval to renew and revise an 

information collection that was 

approved under an emergency clearance 

approval by OMB through November 30, 

2021. 

On March 11, 2021, the ‘‘American 

Rescue Plan Act of 2021’’ (ARPA), 

Public Law (P.L.) 117–2, was enacted. 

Sections 7201 and 7202 established the 

‘‘Aviation Manufacturing Jobs 

Protection’’ (AMJP) program. The stated 

purpose of the program is ‘‘to provide 

public contributions to supplement 

compensation of an eligible employee 

group’’ (which is defined in the statute), 

by entering into agreements with 

qualifying business entities to pay up to 

half of the payroll costs for that group 

of employees for up to six months, in 

return for several commitments, 

including a commitment that the 

company will not involuntarily furlough 

or lay off employees within that group. 

Individual employees (including 

contract employees) are not eligible to 

apply for assistance under this program. 

Application for assistance under the 

AMJP was voluntary. No business was 

required to apply. To be eligible, 

however, businesses were required to 

meet all the requirements set forth in 

the law. Therefore, DOT was required to 

collect certain information from 

applicants to determine eligibility. DOT 

must also verify the accuracy of specific 

payment requests from approved 

applicants, in accordance with other 

laws and regulations governing Federal 

financial assistance programs, including 

(but not limited to) the Antideficiency 

Act, the Federal Funding Accountability 

and Transparency Act (FFATA), the 

Payment Integrity Information Act of 

2019, and applicable provisions in 2 

CFR part 200, among others. 

The ARPA required DOT to reduce 

funding on a pro rata basis if eligible 

requests exceeded available funds. 

Therefore, DOT originally planned to 

conduct a single-round, expedited 

application process to identify all 

eligible requests before beginning the 

award process. Accordingly, DOT 

developed a process and system to 

enable businesses to apply for financial 

assistance under the AMJP. DOT used 

an online, web-based system to collect 

the information outlined in the notice at 

86 FR 19695. OMB provided emergency 

approval on May 26, 2021, with 

information collection control number 

2106–0048. 

DOT subsequently announced the 

beginning of the application process on 

June 14, 2021, via notice at 86 FR 31573. 

DOT posted the application instructions 

online at https://

www.transportation.gov/AMJP/apply. 

The application process was open for 

four weeks, from June 14, 2021 through 

July 13, 2021. DOT subsequently 

reopened the application process for 

another four-week period ending 

September 1, 2021. On November 8, 

2021, DOT made the decision to reopen 

the application process for one final 

period ending December 13, 2021. 

DOT has publicly announced more 

than 470 offers of financial assistance 

under the AMJP, totaling more than 

$666 million, resulting from the first 

two application processes. As of the 

signature date of this notice, DOT has 

awarded 446 financial assistance 

agreements, totaling approximately $597 

million. DOT is renewing and updating 

this information collection. DOT will 

continue to require eligible recipients to 

attest that they continue to meet all the 

original eligibility requirements as 

previously outlined, as well as the 

following information: 

• A sworn certification as to the 

complete and accurate nature of all 

information provided, including all 

supporting documentation, subject to 

civil or criminal penalties. The specific 

certification language is in the forms 

referenced above and section 4.8 of the 

General Terms And Conditions Under 

The Aviation Manufacturing Jobs 

Protection Program.1

• After DOT determines eligibility 

and enters into an agreement with the 

applicant (referred to hereafter as ‘‘the 

recipient’’), DOT will also require the 

recipient to provide the actual aggregate 

total cost of compensation for the 

Eligible Employee Group during the 

period of the agreement with DOT, in 

order for DOT to review and approve 

actual disbursements pursuant to the 

agreement. Recipients will be required 

to provide supporting documentation in 

sufficient detail to substantiate the
