Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

Section 548. An appropriation of $140,000,000 to the operations account of the Federal Aviation Administration for air traffic organization activities, available through September 30, 2027, subject to the same authorities and conditions as if provided in the Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, 2026. It is the second of the two appropriations in this Act that go outside the Department of Homeland Security.

What the document actually says

“There is appropriated $140,000,000 for an additional amount for ``Department of Transportation--Federal Aviation Administration--Operations'' for air traffic organization activities, to remain available until September 30, 2027”

Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5
That sentence, in plain words

Air traffic work gets $140,000,000. The money lasts until September 30, 2027.

What this is about

This money goes to the agency that runs air traffic. It is not part of homeland security. It rides along in the same bill.

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
