      by  the comptroller pursuant to the provisions of section ninety-eight-a
      of this article and any income received by  the  comptroller  from  such
      investments  shall be added to and become part of, and shall be used for
      the purposes of such fund. All deposits of such money shall, if required
      by the comptroller, be secured by obligations of the United States or of
      the state of market value equal at  all  times  to  the  amount  of  the
      deposit  and  all  banks and trust companies are authorized to give such
      securities for such deposits.
        4. Moneys in the fund, following  appropriation  by  the  legislature,
      shall be allocated upon a certificate of approval of availability by the
      director  of  the  budget  solely  for  the  purposes  set forth in this
      section.
        5. All moneys  in  the  fund  shall  be  made  available  pursuant  to
      appropriation  for use in financing airport-related projects approved by
      the  federal  aviation  administration  for  passenger  facility  charge
      funding.
