to support executive branch agency operations during the COVID-19 
pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to 
make loans, loan guarantees, and other investments that do not exceed 
$500 billion in the aggregate to provide liquidity to eligible 
businesses, States, and municipalities related to losses incurred as a 
result of coronavirus. Section 4003(b)(1)-(3) authorized the Secretary 
to make loans and loan guarantees available to passenger air carriers 
and cargo air carriers, as well as certain related businesses, and 
businesses critical to maintaining national security. Section 4112 
authorized the Secretary to provide payroll support totaling $32

Extension Law) authorizes the Secretary to provide financial assistance 
totaling $16 billion to passenger air carriers and certain contractors 
(PSP2).
    On March 11, 2021, the President signed the American Rescue Plan 
Act, 2021, which provided additional emergency assistance and economic 
relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Subtitle C of Title VII of 
the American Rescue Plan Act authorizes the Secretary to provide 
financial assistance totaling $15 billion to passenger air carriers and 
certain contractors that received financial assistance under PSP2 
(PSP3).
    As part of the loan, PSP1, PSP2, and PSP3 agreements, applicants 
will need to maintain records for a period of five years or more, 
depending on the agreement type and period of performance, as well as 
submit compliance reports quarterly to ensure funding is used in 
accordance with the agreements and aid statutory reporting 
requirements.
