Operative words

due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many farmers markets, restaurants, and schools have temporarily or permanently closed, thus causing significantly decreased demand for commodities grown by producers that are ordinarily supplied to these places.... These measures, some of which are government-mandated, are being implemented nationwide and include the closures of restaurants, bars, and gyms.... The beneficiaries of this rule have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, which has resulted in income losses due to significant declines in demand and market disruptions.

Enforcement

Notes

Party-opponent finding in the Federal Register; usable in every industry memorandum for the customer-order thesis.
