TKELLEY on DSK125TN23PROD with NOTICE SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:05 Jan 04, 2022 Jkt 256001 Title: Information Associated with the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection (AMJP) Program. Form Numbers: New collection, Forms AMJP–1A.2.2, AMJP–1A.2.3, AMJP–1A.2.4, AMJP–1A.6.4, AMJP– 1A.6.5, AMJP–1A.6.6, AMJP–1A6.7 (available at https:// www.transportation.gov/amjp/ resources-recipients). 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 PO 00000 Frm 00114 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 537 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 1 See https://www.transportation.gov/amjp/ resources-recipients for text of a sample AMJP agreement, including the General Terms and Conditions.
