Extend the deadline for American Samoa’s ARPA funds

Amata is urging Congress to include an extension for American Samoa’s expiring ARPA funds in federal funding legislation, including a possible year-end continuing resolution. She is also asking the Treasury secretary to give the territory more time to complete projects, citing its reliance on shipping for construction materials and equipment. She says the extension would help address unfinished projects before the funds expire.

Context: The proposed extension is not described as enacted; the release does not specify how long the deadline would be extended.
