## Summary

**Temporary use of the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund to keep FAA operations running during funding lapses.** This bill would let the FAA draw covered amounts from the AIRF to continue programs, projects, and activities that were funded in the prior fiscal year and to use those funds at prior‑year spending rates when appropriations lapse. - Air travelers and airlines would face fewer disruptions because FAA operations and Facilities and Equipment accounts could keep running at prior‑year rates during a lapse. - FAA employees, especially staff in the Air Traffic Organization, would be prioritized for continued pay if available funds are not enough to cover all programs. - The pool of available funds is the AIRF balance minus $1 billion, and the bill bars use that would push the AIRF below $1 billion. - Any funds used must follow the same terms and conditions as the prior‑year appropriations and obligations are charged back once regular or continuing appropriations are enacted. - The bill also repeals a subsection of the non‑premium war risk insurance law, effectively extending that insurance authority for aviation without adding new funding details.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Backup funds to keep flights running: benefit, high. If enacted, the FAA would be able to use the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund to keep core work going during a funding lapse.
