1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: industry Personal Care and Other Services. Quarters: second quarter of 2020 (Apr. 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020; orders from Mar. 13, 2020), third quarter of 2020 (July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020), fourth quarter of 2020 (Oct. 1, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020), first quarter of 2021 (Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021), second quarter of 2021 (Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021) and third quarter of 2021 (July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021). Options: the federal layer, agencies and boards, standing duties, group meetings and trade shows and the Service's fourteen sentences answered.

This report is a record of the governmental orders and related instruments that The COVID Project has retrieved, verified and indexed for the State, metropolitan area, industry and calendar quarters selected. Each instrument appears with its issuer, its number and title, its dates, the quarters in which it was in force, the functions of a business it reached, its operative words, its enforcement provision, a citation and an exhibit identifier. Every exhibit identifier resolves to the instrument's record at covidproject.com/library, and to the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit.

The report is assembled from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings, and it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It lists the instruments The COVID Project has verified and no others, so every count in it is a floor. It is not a filing, and it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit.

The report reproduces at covidproject.com/report?industry=18&quarters=2020Q2,2020Q3,2020Q4,2021Q1,2021Q2,2021Q3&federal=1&agencies=1&duties=1&meetings=1&answers=1. Every exhibit identifier in it resolves at covidproject.com/library/ followed by the identifier, and the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit/ followed by the identifier.

Disclaimer

The COVID Project is a free public reference. This report is generated from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings that The COVID Project has retrieved and indexed; it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It is not legal, tax or accounting advice, it does not create any professional relationship, it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit or the amount of any credit, and it is not a count of every order that existed. The COVID Project sells nothing and represents no one. Errors in any record can be reported through covidproject.com/contact with the exhibit identifier, and corrections are recorded with their dates.

2. Summary of findings

For each quarter selected, this section states what was in force for this selection on the quarter's first and last days, in the words of the Library's own quarter-by-quarter record for the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators and the federal layer. Exhibit identifiers in parentheses name the instruments. The table that follows counts the instruments listed in section 5 by layer and quarter.

The federal layer of this report is the Library's two federal files: FED-A, the health, safety and transport layer, and FED-B, the commerce, travel, workplace and finance layer, including the orders of the federal courts those files hold. The ecosystem clusters and the federal agency clusters are listed in the Library's federal layer at covidproject.com/federal and are not part of this report's federal layer; a quarter page counts every federal-level instrument of the quarter across those clusters as well, so its figure is the larger of the two.

3. The statute and the test

An employer is an eligible employer for a calendar quarter under the governmental-orders test if

the operation of the trade or business described in clause (i) is fully or partially suspended during the calendar quarter due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)

CARES Act § 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 348; I.R.C. § 3134(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), 135 Stat. 4, 177

Congress enacted those words four times and never changed them. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of March 27, 2020 enacted the Suspension Clause at section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 347-48, for wages paid after March 12, 2020 and before January 1, 2021 (§ 2301(m), 134 Stat. 351) (Ex. LAW-001). The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, Pub. L. 116-260, div. EE, §§ 206-207, 134 Stat. 1182, 3059-65 (Dec. 27, 2020), extended the credit to wages paid before July 1, 2021 and raised its rate to 70 percent; neither section touched the clause (Ex. LAW-002).

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. 117-2, § 9651, 135 Stat. 4, 176 (Mar. 11, 2021), added section 3134 to the Internal Revenue Code, whose heading repeats the CARES Act title and whose Suspension Clause reappears word for word at 135 Stat. 177, for wages paid after June 30, 2021 (§ 3134(n), 135 Stat. 182) (Ex. LAW-003). The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117-58, § 80604, 135 Stat. 429, 1341 (Nov. 15, 2021), ended the credit for calendar quarters beginning after September 30, 2021, and left the third quarter of 2021 in place (Ex. LAW-004).

The clause has seven elements, taken in the statute's order: orders; from an appropriate governmental authority; limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes); due to COVID-19; the operation of the trade or business fully or partially suspended; during the calendar quarter; and due to those orders. The words "essential," "comparable operations," "telework," "customers," "voluntary," "more than nominal," "10 percent," "directed at," "jurisdiction over the employer," "proximate," "independent" and "sufficient" appear in none of the four enactments. The credit runs by calendar quarter; the six quarters the clause governs are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021.

The partial-suspension test and how this report applies it

In this report the Internal Revenue Service is the "Service," the Government as a litigant is the "United States," Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, is the "Notice," and the statutory text above is the "Suspension Clause." Tri-State is Tri-State Memorial Hospital v. United States, No. 2:25-cv-0181-TOR, ECF No. 38 (E.D. Wash. May 28, 2026), the one federal decision construing the clause's words. Doc. 44 is the United States' opposition and cross-motion for summary judgment in Stenson Tamaddon, LLC v. IRS, No. 2:24-cv-01123-SPL (D. Ariz. Jan. 6, 2025), ECF No. 44; Doc. 49 is the summary-judgment order in that case of June 20, 2025; and the Br. for Appellees is the United States' brief in the appeal, No. 25-4217 (9th Cir. Jan. 30, 2026).

The statute controls, and the Notice does not. The United States has told two federal courts so: the Notice "is merely guidance" and "lacks the force of law" (Doc. 44 at 19); "the United States is not arguing that the IRS interpretation has the force of law or is entitled to deference" (Doc. 44 at 31 & n.8); "[w]hether Notice 2021-20 exists or not, the statute will control whether a refund is warranted" (Doc. 44 at 24). The court held that "the Notice carries no force of law and is entitled to no deference" (Doc. 49 at 27) and that the ten percent figure "is not an exclusionary cut-off point, but rather a safe harbor" (Doc. 49 at 26). In the Ninth Circuit the United States called the Notice "nonbinding guidance," its ten percent provision "a quintessential safe harbor," and wrote that "[t]here is no question of deference here" (Br. for Appellees at 26, 37-38, 58).

"Fully or partially suspended" means what the words say. On definitions both parties agreed, Tri-State held: "a 'partial suspension' is a temporary delay, interruption, or termination of a portion an employer's business. The language is plain" (Tri-State at 8-9). The court refused to read "more than nominal" as "significant": "the plain language and ordinary meaning of partial and nominal do not suggest either of those interpretations" (Tri-State at 10-11). The Notice's ten percent rules are "only administrative guidance"; "the IRS Notice provides a method for the test to be met not as a requirement to meet the test" (Tri-State at 15-16). "Due to" means "because of," which "[b]oth Plaintiff and Defendant agree" (Tri-State at 17), and "the Court recognizes that 'due to' requires 'but-for' causation" (Tri-State at 19). The argument that the virus rather than the order caused the changes fails: "[s]ick patients and employees alone did not require additional protocols" (Tri-State at 20-21).

This report applies the test in five steps, with the instruments the Library holds for your selection and no others. Step one, the order: the issuer, the instrument by number and title, its dates and its exhibit; the Service's own Q&A-10 treats "orders, proclamations, or decrees" as orders "without regard to the level of enforcement" (Notice 2021-20, Q&A-10, at 927-28). Step two, the function it reached: the part of the business the order governed, whether the customer-facing floor, the back of house, the office, the workforce, the supply chain or the customer base. Step three, the change it compelled: the operative words, quoted from the instrument, and the sanction behind them. Step four, the quarter: the days on which the instrument was in force, tested against its dates. Step five, the statute's answer: a function is a portion of the operation; a compelled change is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; but for the order no law required it; and on the definitions the United States agreed to, the operation was partially suspended during the quarter due to the order.

The statute does not ask whether the business was "essential" or stayed open: the Notice's own Q&A-17, Example 4, calls an open hospital under an elective-procedure order partially suspended (Q&A-17, at 930). It does not ask whether the business could telework: Q&A-15 finds a partial suspension wherever a workplace closure "causes the employer to suspend business operations for certain purposes, but not others" (Q&A-15, at 929). It does not ask whose customers were under orders: "a business may be suspended 'due to' a government order addressing a third party" (Br. for Appellees at 41). It does not ask whether a compelled measure was "voluntary": Q&A-14 reaches only a suspension "not due to a governmental order" (Q&A-14, at 929). And it does not ask for a percentage: "The 10 percent is not determinative ... Properly understood, it isn't an eligibility requirement" (Doc. 44 at 14). The Service's letters ask each of those questions. The statute asks one, and this report answers it, instrument by instrument.

How this report was assembled

The report is drawn from The COVID Project's Orders Library, which indexes the governmental orders that limited commerce, travel and group meetings in the United States from March 2020 through September 30, 2021. The Library is organized in layers, and the report walks them in order for your selection: the federal layer (proclamations, executive orders, agency orders and rules, and the federal courts' general orders); your State, from its first declaration to the instrument that ended its general restrictions; your metropolitan area's health officers, mayors and courts; the sector regulators of your industry (licensing boards, health departments, alcohol and gaming regulators, labor agencies and federal program rules); the clusters of authorities that are easy to overlook (ports, aviation, courts, motor-vehicle offices, tribal and territorial governments); the standing duties of your State and of the United States (communicable-disease, workplace-safety and liability-shield statutes); and the organizers' notices of the trade shows, conventions, seasons and tournaments your industry lost.

Every record carries one of two grades, and the report shows only these two. Primary source read means the compiler read the issuing authority's own text: the order as published, the register page, the codified rule, the court's docket entry. Confirmed from a secondary source means the instrument's existence, number, date and substance were established from an identifiable secondary source and the primary text was not read. Records graded unverified or not retrieved never appear. Every exhibit was retrieved from the issuing authority's site or from the Internet Archive's capture of it, kept only if its text contained a distinctive phrase of the instrument, hashed at retrieval and re-checked by a second reviewer.

Every instrument has one exhibit identifier, used everywhere on the site and in this report. A State instrument carries its two-letter State code and a serial number (Ex. TX-004 is Texas Executive Order GA-09 of March 22, 2020); a metropolitan instrument carries MET and the metro code; a federal instrument carries FED; a sector regulator's instrument carries SEC and the industry number, and an organizer's notice adds GM; an overlooked authority carries AGY and its cluster; a standing duty carries DUT and the State code, or DUT-FED (Ex. DUT-FED-001 is the general duty clause of the Occupational Safety and Health Act); a legal authority carries LAW.

The dates decide the quarters. An instrument is in force in a quarter only if its effective date fell on or before the quarter's last day and its end date, if any, fell on or after the quarter's first day. The six quarters are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021. Because the CARES Act applies to wages paid after March 12, 2020, and the Service's Form 941-X instructions place the credit for wages paid March 13 through March 31, 2020 on the second-quarter return, the orders of March 13 through 31, 2020, the first stay-at-home and closure orders in the country, appear in the record of the second quarter of 2020.

4. How this business operates: Personal Care and Other Services

The personal-services industry was the paradigm target of the spring 2020 closure orders. In forty-six States and the District of Columbia a governor, State health officer or (in Nebraska, Hawaii and, for the first weeks, Missouri and Utah) a county or city authority ordered every hair salon, barbershop, nail salon, day spa, tattoo, tanning and massage establishment closed to the public between March 16 and April 3, 2020, by name: the orders did not rely on an 'essential business' inference; they listed the trades. New Jersey EO 107 ¶ 9 (Mar. 21, 2020) closed 'cosmetology shops; barber shops; beauty salons; hair braiding shops; nail salons; electrology facilities; spas... massage parlors, tanning salons, tattoo parlors' (Ex. SEC-18-008); Tennessee EO 21 (Mar. 30, 2020) ordered that 'businesses or organizations that perform close-contact personal services shall not be open to members or the public' and listed nine trades (Ex. SEC-18-035); Wisconsin Emergency Order 12 § 4.c (Mar. 24, 2020) closed 'salons and spas... hair salons, barber shops, nail salons, day spas, electrolysis providers, waxing salons, eyebrow-care establishments, tattoo parlors, body art establishments, and tanning facilities' (Ex. SEC-18-034); Illinois EO 2020-10 (Mar. 20, 2020) excluded 'spas, salons, barber shops, tattoo parlors, and similar facilities' from the health-care exemption of its stay-home order (Ex. SEC-18-032); Texas GA-14 (Mar. 31, 2020) directed that people 'avoid visiting bars, massage establishments, tattoo studios, piercing studios, or cosmetology salons' while county orders in Harris, Dallas, Bexar and Travis closed them outright (Ex. SEC-18-033). Only South Dakota issued no closure; Missouri, Utah and Nebraska closed salons by county and city order before or instead of a statewide order (Nebraska's statewide Directed Health Measure closed them April 10, 2020). The closures ran between four and ten weeks: Georgia (Apr. 24) and Oklahoma (Apr. 24) reopened first; Alaska (Apr. 24), Colorado, Maine, Montana, Wyoming (May 1), Kansas (May 18), Texas (May 8), Florida (May 11), Ohio (May 15), Kentucky (May 25), Illinois (May 29), Michigan (June 15), Pennsylvania (green-phase counties from May 29; Philadelphia June 26 and July 3), New York (Phase 2 regions from May 29; New York City June 22), New Jersey (June 22), Massachusetts (May 25 hair; June 22 nail, massage, tattoo), Connecticut (June 1) and California (hair May 26 by county variance; nail and tattoo June 19 by county variance) reopened later and always under conditions. Every reopening order imposed operating conditions on the function itself: appointment-only operation (Arizona, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, Vermont, the District, Delaware, Indiana), one stylist per customer or six feet between work stations (Texas GA-21 ¶ 12.a: 'must ensure at least six feet of social distancing between operating work stations'), capacity percentages (25 percent in Louisiana and Minnesota; 30 percent in Delaware; 50 percent in Kentucky, Illinois Phase 4, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Missouri counties), the elimination of waiting areas (Kentucky: 'must eliminate the use of any waiting areas, provide services by appointment only'), face coverings on operator and customer, and the prohibition or time-limiting of any service that required the customer to remove a mask (Illinois, New York, Alaska, Rhode Island, Chicago). The second wave re-closed the function in the largest State: California's State Public Health Officer Order of July 13, 2020 closed indoor operations of 'personal care services (including nail salons, massage parlors, and tattoo parlors), hair salons and barbershops, and malls' in the thirty-two monitoring-list counties holding most of the State's population (Ex. SEC-18-022), and the Regional Stay at Home Order of December 3, 2020 closed personal care services entirely in regions below fifteen percent ICU capacity (Southern California and San Joaquin Valley from December 6; the Bay Area from December 17) until January 25, 2021. New Mexico closed close-contact businesses again November 16-30, 2020; New York's orange and red microcluster zones closed personal care from October 2020; Illinois Tier 3 (EO 2020-73, effective Nov. 20, 2020) cut personal care to 25 percent and barred every service requiring mask removal (Ex. SEC-18-019); Washington's November 15, 2020 rollback cut personal services to 25 percent; Colorado's Level Red and Purple cut personal services to 25 percent and then to zero. The capacity and mask conditions on this function outlasted the general restrictions in most States into the spring of 2021 and, in the mask States (California by county, Illinois, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, New Mexico, Louisiana, Hawaii, the District, and the Delta-wave counties and cities), into the third quarter of 2021. Laundries and dry cleaners were listed as essential in the CISA guidance every State order incorporated ('Workers in laundromats, laundry services, and dry cleaners,' Ex. SEC-18-001, -002) and in the State lists (Illinois EO 2020-10 § 12.k; NJ EO 107 ¶ 6.i 'retail functions of laundromats and dry-cleaning'), so their premises stayed open while the orders closed their customers: hotels, restaurants, offices, salons, gyms, schools and, for commercial and healthcare laundries, the hospitals whose elective procedures were suspended. Funeral homes were essential everywhere, but the gathering orders capped the funeral itself, in terms: Wisconsin EO 12 § 13.i ('fewer than 10 people in a room or confined space'), Illinois (10 family members), Michigan EO 2020-21 (10), New Jersey EO 107 and successors (10, then 25 percent and 50 outdoors, then 25 percent/150 indoors), New York EO 202.10 (all non-essential gatherings of any size), Massachusetts (10), Kentucky (50 percent from May 20-22, 2020, Ex. SEC-18-041), Oregon (25 percent of funeral homes, cemeteries and mortuaries in the two-week freeze), Hawaii (funeral, mortuary and cemetery services bound by the restaurant rules), Delaware (30 percent up to 50 in the winter of 2020-21). Pet grooming was closed as non-essential in most closure States and reopened on a separate track: Oklahoma April 24, 2020 (appointment-only), Maine and West Virginia May 1-4 (with barbers), Kentucky May 11 (Ex. SEC-18-040, 'must meet the requirements below in order to reopen and remain open'), Colorado May 1, Massachusetts May 25; the CISA list never named grooming, only 'workers in animal shelters' and 'veterinary.' In-home repair (plumbers, electricians, appliance repair) was essential under the CISA list ('personal and household goods, repair, and maintenance'), but the stay-home orders barred entry into homes for non-emergency work in New York, Michigan (EO 2020-42 § 9), New Jersey and California until May-June 2020, and the customers' own stay-home orders limited the service itself. In the third quarter of 2021 the industry operated under: the OSHA COVID-19 National Emphasis Program, DIR 2021-03, effective July 7, 2021 (Ex. SEC-18-003); the OSHA Healthcare ETS, 29 C.F.R. § 1910.502, which covered 'healthcare laundry services' performed in healthcare settings (OSHA's own FAQ excludes off-site laundry); the CISA Version 4.1 guidance of August 10, 2021 that States continued to incorporate (Ex. SEC-18-001); the State occupational-safety rules on every workplace in California (8 C.C.R. § 3205, readopted June 17, 2021), Virginia (16VAC25-220, permanent from Jan. 27, 2021), Oregon (OAR 437-001-0744) and Michigan (MIOSHA emergency rules to June 22, 2021); the indoor mask orders reinstated in Nevada (ED 047, July 27, eff. July 30), Louisiana (Aug. 2), Oregon (Aug. 13), Hawaii (continuing), New Mexico (Aug. 20), Washington (Aug. 23), Illinois (EO 2021-20, Aug. 26, eff. Aug. 30, Ex. SEC-18-042), the District (July 31) and in Los Angeles, Sacramento, the Bay Area counties, Clark County, St. Louis, Kansas City, New Orleans, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Baltimore, the Maryland suburbs, Charlotte, Memphis, Madison and Boston, each of which bound salons, barbershops, laundromats, funeral homes and groomers as 'indoor public places'; the CDC conveyance mask order and TSA directives that governed every employee's commute; and the school masking and quarantine orders of the 2021-22 school year that took the workforce out of the shop.

CMS, in collaboration with medical societies and associations, recently created recommendations to postpone non-essential surgeries and other procedures. This document provides recommendations to limit those medical services that could be deferred, such as non-emergent, elective treatment, and preventive medical services for patients of all ages. A tiered framework is recommended to prioritize services and care to those who require emergent or urgent attention to save a life, manage severe disease, or avoid further harms from an underlying condition....

To expand capacity to care for these patients and to conserve adequate staff and supplies, especially personal protective equipment (PPE), on March 18 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recommended limiting non-essential care and expanding surge capacity into ambulatory surgical centers and other areas.... Therefore, if states or regions have passed the Gating Criteria (symptoms, cases, and hospitals) announced on April 16, 2020, then they may proceed to Phase I.... Maximum use of all telehealth modalities is strongly encouraged. However, for care that cannot be accomplished virtually, these recommendations -- the first in a series of recommendations -- may guide healthcare systems and facilities as they consider resuming in-person care of non-COVID-19 patients in regions with low incidence of COVID-19 disease.

These services are healthcare support services. The ETS generally applies in settings where any employee provides healthcare services or healthcare support services. On the other hand, one or more exceptions to the ETS might apply. For example, the ETS does not apply to healthcare support services not performed in a healthcare setting (e.g., off-site laundry, off-site medical billing).... Employers with employees who, in the course of their employment, enter into private residences or other physical locations controlled by persons not covered by the OSH Act (e.g., homeowners, sole proprietors) must include policies and procedures in their COVID-19 plans to protect their employees entering those locations.

8. Partial suspension, element by element, for this business

This section applies the five-step test of section 3 to a business of the industry Personal Care and Other Services with the instruments this report found for the quarters selected and no others: the order; the function of the business it reached; the change it compelled, in its own words; the days of the quarter on which it was in force; and the statute's answer. Where the Library holds only federal-layer and standing-duty instruments for a quarter, the section says so and applies the test to those instruments.

Second quarter of 2020 (Apr. 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020; orders from Mar. 13, 2020)

Step one, the orders. In the second quarter of 2020 the Library holds 211 instruments in force for this selection: 32 instruments from the regulators of Personal Care and Other Services (Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 107 (Mar. 21, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-008); Governor JB Pritzker, Executive Order 2020-10 (COVID-19 Executive Order No. 8) (Mar. 20, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-032); Andrea Palm, Secretary-designee, Department of Health Services, at the direction of Governor Tony Evers, Emergency Order #12, Safer at Home Order (Mar. 24, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-034); and 29 more) and 179 federal instruments (The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Guidelines for Opening Up America Again (Apr. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-192); Supreme Court of the United States (Public Information Office), Press release of March 12, 2020 (Building closed to the public) (Mar. 12, 2020) (Ex. FED-290); CMS, Quality, Safety & Oversight Group, QSO-20-14-NH, Guidance for Infection Control and Prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Nursing Homes (Mar. 9, 2020; REVISED Mar. 13, 2020) (Ex. FED-097); and 176 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions of business of the Personal Services industry, as the Library records them: salon, barber, nail and spa services (SL; Ex. SEC-18-008, Ex. SEC-18-032, Ex. SEC-18-034, Ex. SEC-18-033 and 25 more); cleaning and laundry (CL; Ex. SEC-18-008, Ex. SEC-18-032, Ex. SEC-18-034, Ex. SEC-18-033 and 2 more); funeral homes (FH; Ex. SEC-18-008, Ex. SEC-18-032, Ex. SEC-18-034, Ex. SEC-18-033 and 3 more); pet grooming and boarding (PS; Ex. SEC-18-008, Ex. SEC-18-032, Ex. SEC-18-034, Ex. SEC-18-020 and 3 more); in-home and shop repair services (RP; Ex. SEC-18-032, Ex. SEC-18-020, Ex. SEC-18-002, Ex. SEC-18-015); hiring, screening, training and credentialing (HR; Ex. SEC-18-027, Ex. SEC-18-009, Ex. SEC-18-026, Ex. SEC-18-011 and 7 more); office, administration and telework (OP; Ex. SEC-18-008, Ex. SEC-18-032, Ex. SEC-18-034, Ex. SEC-18-027 and 17 more); workforce availability (WF; Ex. SEC-18-008, Ex. SEC-18-032, Ex. SEC-18-034, Ex. SEC-18-033); the customer base (CB; Ex. SEC-18-008, Ex. SEC-18-032, Ex. SEC-18-034, Ex. SEC-18-033 and 17 more).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 107 (Mar. 21, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-008) ordered: "9. All recreational and entertainment businesses, including but not limited to the following list, must close to the public as long as this Order remains in effect:... [businesses] that pose a high risk of noncompliance with social distancing guidelines, including but not limited to cosmetology…" Enforcement: N.J.S.A. App. A:9-49, -50 (disorderly persons offense; fines and imprisonment recited in the Order) Governor JB Pritzker, Executive Order 2020-10 (COVID-19 Executive Order No. 8) (Mar. 20, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-032) ordered: "[A]ll individuals currently living within the State of Illinois are ordered to stay at home or at their place of residence... All public and private gatherings of any number of people occurring outside a single household or living unit are prohibited, except for the limited purposes permitted by…" Enforcement: 20 ILCS 3305/19 (Class A misdemeanor) Andrea Palm, Secretary-designee, Department of Health Services, at the direction of Governor Tony Evers, Emergency Order #12, Safer at Home Order (Mar. 24, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-034) ordered: "1. Stay at home or place of residence. All individuals present within the State of Wisconsin are ordered to stay at home or at their place of residence... 4.... c. Salons and spas. This includes, but is not limited to, hair salons, barber shops, nail salons, day spas, electrolysis providers, waxing…" Enforcement: Wis. Stat. § 252.25 (up to 30 days imprisonment or $250 fine) (recited in the Order) The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from Mar. 13, 2020 to June 30, 2020, 110 days. Executive Order No. 107 (Ex. SEC-18-008) was in force from Mar. 21, 2020 to June 22, 2020, 94 of the quarter's 110 days; Executive Order 2020-10 (COVID-19 Executive Order No. 8) (Ex. SEC-18-032) was in force from Mar. 21, 2020 to May 29, 2020, 70 of the quarter's 110 days; Emergency Order #12, Safer at Home Order (Ex. SEC-18-034) was in force from Mar. 25, 2020 to May 13, 2020, 50 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 32 instruments in the quarter's record, 0 were in force on its first day, 17 on its last day and 0 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of a business of the Personal Services industry; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the second quarter of 2020 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

Third quarter of 2020 (July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020)

Step one, the orders. In the third quarter of 2020 the Library holds 183 instruments in force for this selection: 20 instruments from the regulators of Personal Care and Other Services (Governor Brian P. Kemp, Executive Order 04.20.20.01 (Apr. 20, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-027); Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 154 (June 13, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-009); State Public Health Officer (Sonia Y.

SEC-18-005 and 7 more).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 154 (June 13, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-009) ordered: "1. Effective at 6:00 a.m. on Monday, June 22, 2020, cosmetology shops; barber shops; beauty salons; hair braiding shops; nail salons; electrology facilities; spas, including day spas and medical spas, at which solely elective and cosmetic medical procedures are performed; massage parlors, tanning…" Enforcement: N.J.S.A. App. A:9-49, -50 State Public Health Officer (Sonia Y. Angell, MD, MPH), California Department of Public Health, Statewide Public Health Officer Order of July 13, 2020 (Ex. SEC-18-022) ordered: "As of July 13, 2020, there are 32 counties on the list, and additional counties may soon [be added].... For counties on the County Monitoring List, the risks and impacts of disease transmission are even greater. The science suggests that for indoor operations the [risk is higher]...

SEC-18-011) ordered: "2.... All hair salons, day spas (including relaxation massages), nail salons, barber shops, tattoo parlors, body piercing locations (except that nose and oral piercings are prohibited during the pendency of this Order) tanning facilities, and other like businesses and operations licensed by the Ohio…" Enforcement: R.C. 3701.352 and 3701.99 (violation a misdemeanor of the second degree) (recited in the Order) The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020, 92 days. Executive Order 04.20.20.01 (Ex.

Of the 20 instruments in the quarter's record, 16 were in force on its first day, 16 on its last day and 15 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of a business of the Personal Services industry; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the third quarter of 2020 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

Pan, MD, MPH), CDPH, Regional Stay at Home Order (Dec. 3, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-024); Governor Brian P. Kemp, Executive Order 04.20.20.01 (Apr. 20, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-027); Governor Philip D.

SEC-18-027) was in force from Apr. 24, 2020 to Apr. 30, 2021, 90 of the quarter's 90 days; Executive Order No. 154 (Ex. SEC-18-009) was in force from June 22, 2020 to Mar. 19, 2021, 78 of the quarter's 90 days. Of the 16 instruments in the quarter's record, 15 were in force on its first day, 13 on its last day and 13 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of a business of the Personal Services industry; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the first quarter of 2021 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

Second quarter of 2021 (Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021)

Step one, the orders. In the second quarter of 2021 the Library holds 180 instruments in force for this selection: 15 instruments from the regulators of Personal Care and Other Services (Governor Brian P. Kemp, Executive Order 04.20.20.01 (Apr. 20, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-027); Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 154 (June 13, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-009); Governor Andy Beshear and the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (Healthy at Work), Healthy at Work Requirements for Funeral and Memorial Services, Version 2.0 (May 22, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-041); and 12 more) and 165 federal instruments (Supreme Court of the United States (Public Information Office), Press release of March 12, 2020 (Building closed to the public) (Mar. 12, 2020) (Ex. FED-290); Chief Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton, General Order 73 (Amended May 21, 2020) (Ex. FED-334); Chief Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton, General Order 72-6 (Sept. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-333); and 162 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions of business of the Personal Services industry, as the Library records them: salon, barber, nail and spa services (SL; Ex. SEC-18-027, Ex. SEC-18-009, Ex. SEC-18-030, Ex. SEC-18-023 and 8 more); cleaning and laundry (CL; Ex. SEC-18-016, Ex. SEC-18-004); funeral homes (FH; Ex. SEC-18-041, Ex. SEC-18-016); pet grooming and boarding (PS; Ex. SEC-18-030, Ex. SEC-18-040, Ex. SEC-18-016); in-home and shop repair services (RP; Ex. SEC-18-016, Ex. SEC-18-004); hiring, screening, training and credentialing (HR; Ex. SEC-18-027, Ex. SEC-18-009, Ex. SEC-18-030, Ex. SEC-18-023 and 3 more); office, administration and telework (OP; Ex. SEC-18-027, Ex. SEC-18-009, Ex. SEC-18-041, Ex. SEC-18-030 and 10 more); the customer base (CB; Ex. SEC-18-027, Ex. SEC-18-009, Ex. SEC-18-041, Ex. SEC-18-010 and 4 more).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Philip D. Murphy, Executive Order No. 154 (June 13, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-009) ordered: "1. Effective at 6:00 a.m. on Monday, June 22, 2020, cosmetology shops; barber shops; beauty salons; hair braiding shops; nail salons; electrology facilities; spas, including day spas and medical spas, at which solely elective and cosmetic medical procedures are performed; massage parlors, tanning…" Enforcement: N.J.S.A. App. A:9-49, -50 Governor Andy Beshear and the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (Healthy at Work), Healthy at Work Requirements for Funeral and Memorial Services, Version 2.0 (May 22, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-041) ordered: "Funeral and memorial service providers will be required to meet the same Healthy at Work Minimum Requirements as businesses. In addition, funeral and memorial service providers must meet the requirements below in order to reopen and remain open:... Funeral and memorial service providers conducting…" Enforcement: KRS 39A.990; KRS 214.990 New Jersey Department of Health, Commissioner Judith M. Persichilli, Executive Directive No. 20-015 (June 13, 2020) (Ex. SEC-18-010) ordered: "WHEREAS, on June 13, 2020, Governor Murphy, moving the state forward into phase [two],... [permitted] personal care service facilities, including tanning and body art establishments, to open effective at 6:00 a.m. on Monday, June 22, 2020;... 1. Facilities offering tanning or establishments offering…" Enforcement: Violations enforceable under N.J.S.A. 26:13-19 and App. A:9-49 (recited) The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021, 91 days. Executive Order 04.20.20.01 (Ex. SEC-18-027) was in force from Apr. 24, 2020 to Apr. 30, 2021, 30 of the quarter's 91 days; Healthy at Work Requirements for Funeral and Memorial Services, Version 2.0 (Ex. SEC-18-041) was in force from May 22, 2020 to June 11, 2021, 72 of the quarter's 91 days; Sector-Specific Workplace Safety Standards for Close Contact Personal Services to Address… (Ex. SEC-18-030) was in force from May 25, 2020 to May 29, 2021, 59 of the quarter's 91 days. Of the 15 instruments in the quarter's record, 12 were in force on its first day, 3 on its last day and 2 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of a business of the Personal Services industry; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the second quarter of 2021 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

Third quarter of 2021 (July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021)

Step one, the orders. In the third quarter of 2021 the Library holds 171 instruments in force for this selection: 4 instruments from the regulators of Personal Care and Other Services (Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA COVID-19 Healthcare Emergency Temporary Standard - Frequently Asked Questions (agency interpretation of the scope provisions, § 1910.502(a)) (June 21, 2021) (Ex. SEC-18-004); Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Department of Labor, Directive DIR 2021-03 (CPL 03), Revised National Emphasis Program - Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) (July 7, 2021) (Ex. SEC-18-003); Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Department of Homeland Security (Director Jen Easterly), Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce, Version 4.1 (Aug. 10, 2021) (Ex. SEC-18-001); and 1 more) and 167 federal instruments (Supreme Court of the United States (Public Information Office), Press release of March 12, 2020 (Building closed to the public) (Mar. 12, 2020) (Ex. FED-290); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HHS, CDC Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (Oct. 30, 2020) (Ex. FED-031); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HHS, Notice: Conditional Sailing Order Technical Instructions and Operations Manual (May 5, 2021) (Ex. FED-032); and 164 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions of business of the Personal Services industry, as the Library records them: salon, barber, nail and spa services (SL; Ex. SEC-18-001, Ex. SEC-18-042); cleaning and laundry (CL; Ex. SEC-18-004, Ex. SEC-18-003, Ex. SEC-18-001, Ex. SEC-18-042); funeral homes (FH; Ex. SEC-18-001, Ex. SEC-18-042); pet grooming and boarding (PS; Ex. SEC-18-001, Ex. SEC-18-042); in-home and shop repair services (RP; Ex. SEC-18-004, Ex. SEC-18-001, Ex. SEC-18-042); office, administration and telework (OP; Ex. SEC-18-003); workforce availability (WF; Ex. SEC-18-003, Ex. SEC-18-042); the customer base (CB; Ex. SEC-18-042).

Step three, the change compelled. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA COVID-19 Healthcare Emergency Temporary Standard - Frequently Asked Questions (agency interpretation of the scope provisions, § 1910.502(a)) (June 21, 2021) (Ex. SEC-18-004) ordered: "These services are healthcare support services. The ETS generally applies in settings where any employee provides healthcare services or healthcare support services. On the other hand, one or more exceptions to the ETS might apply. For example, the ETS does not apply to healthcare support services…" Enforcement: Citations under the ETS Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Department of Labor, Directive DIR 2021-03 (CPL 03), Revised National Emphasis Program - Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) (July 7, 2021) (Ex. SEC-18-003) ordered: "DIRECTIVE NUMBER: DIR 2021-03 (CPL 03) EFFECTIVE DATE: July 7, 2021... Appendix A of this Direction provides lists of affected industries by their North American Industry Classification System (2017 NAICS) codes. The lists in Appendix A include industries where workers may be at increased potential…" Enforcement: Programmed inspections and citations under 29 C.F.R. part 1910 and the general duty clause Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Department of Homeland Security (Director Jen Easterly), Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce, Version 4.1 (Aug. 10, 2021) (Ex. SEC-18-001) ordered: "This list is advisory in nature. It is not, nor should it be considered, a federal directive or standard.... Workers in laundromats, laundry services, and dry cleaners.... Workers providing personal and household goods, repair, and maintenance, including workers such as house cleaners, plumbers…" Enforcement: None of its own; the State orders that incorporated it carried their own penalties The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 days. OSHA COVID-19 Healthcare Emergency Temporary Standard - Frequently Asked Questions (agency… (Ex. SEC-18-004) was in force from June 21, 2021 to Dec. 27, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Directive DIR 2021-03 (CPL 03), Revised National Emphasis Program - Coronavirus Disease… (Ex. SEC-18-003) was in force from July 7, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021, 86 of the quarter's 92 days; Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce, Version 4.1 (Ex. SEC-18-001) was in force from Aug. 10, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021, 52 of the quarter's 92 days. Of the 4 instruments in the quarter's record, 1 was in force on its first day, 4 on its last day and 1 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of a business of the Personal Services industry; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the third quarter of 2021 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

9. The Service's sentences, answered for Personal Care and Other Services

The Service's letters and examination reports rest on fourteen grounds. Each is answered below from the statute's text, from Tri-State, from the instruments with their exhibit identifiers, and from the United States' own representations. None survives the instruments.

Each sentence below is stated in the Service's general vocabulary and answered from the industry analysis; the full answer, with its footnotes, is on the ground page linked beneath it.

Sentence 1: 1. No orders in effect

"There were no government orders related to COVID-19 in effect during the quarter which could have fully or partially suspended your trade or business."

For every quarter, the quarters section lists the orders in force on the quarter's first and last day, by issuer, date and terms, with exhibit identifiers, and the fifty-State and metropolitan tables on this page tabulate them. For the third quarter of 2021 alone the list runs to the federal conveyance, workplace, entry and border orders, the CMS visitation memorandum, the workplace standards of three States, the indoor face-covering orders of seven States, the District and the Navajo Nation and of more than twenty metropolitan areas, occupational-health and airborne-transmission controls enforced against the premises, Puerto Rico's vaccination-or-testing order on every salon worker, the licensing waivers of California and Pennsylvania, and the school, health-care, quarantine and court orders of most States. A form sentence that no orders were in effect is not the "case-by-case" determination the United States described to the District Court.

Sentence 2: 2. "Essential" and "remained open"

"The employer operated an essential business and remained open."

The word "essential" is not in the statute. The federal list and the State orders that adopted it treated laundries, funeral homes and household repair as essential and salons and grooming as not; the designation permitted the laundry to open its doors and exempted it from nothing else: not the stay-home order that emptied its store, not the closure orders that emptied its hotel, restaurant and office accounts, not the face-covering orders, not the workplace standards, not the Healthcare Emergency Temporary Standard. The Notice itself provides that an employer so designated "may be considered to have a partial suspension of operations if, under the facts and circumstances, more than a nominal portion of its business operations are suspended by a governmental order," and that "an essential business that is permitted to continue its operations may, nonetheless, be considered to have a partial suspension of its operations if a governmental order requires the business to close for a period of time during normal working hours"; the United States told the District Court that an employer "could be considered to have a partial suspension due to the governmental order if it was required to suspend certain operations for certain purposes." As to the salon, the barbershop and the grooming shop, the position is factually incorrect: they were named as non-essential and closed in forty-six States and the District, and the Notice's own Example 1 to Q&A-10 lists "barber shops, hair salons, tattoo parlors ... waxing salons" among the non-essential businesses whose closure makes their employers eligible. The designation was a permission to operate under the orders, not an exemption from them. An employer that "remained open" under an order that fixed how open it could be was partially suspended by that order.

Sentence 3: 3. Orders directed to the public

"Stay-at-home orders directed to the public are not considered; only orders directed at business operations count."

The statute says nothing of the source or addressee of the order; it asks whether the order limited "commerce, travel, or group meetings." The Notice's own list of qualifying orders includes "A State's emergency proclamation that residents must shelter in place" and "An order from a local official imposing a curfew on residents," both addressed to the public, and the United States quoted that list to the District Court as the statute's meaning and told the Ninth Circuit that a business "may be suspended 'due to' a government order addressing a third party." The orders that reached this industry were, moreover, directed at business operations in terms: "cosmetology shops; barber shops; beauty salons ... nail salons ... spas ... massage parlors, tanning salons, tattoo parlors" were ordered closed; "[b]usinesses or organizations that perform close-contact personal services shall not be open to members or the public"; a reopening salon "must ensure at least six feet of social distancing between operating work stations"; and Texas's order to the public that "people shall avoid ... visiting ... cosmetology salons" named the salon as the place the public was to avoid. The position rewrites the statute and misdescribes the orders.

Sentence 4: 4. Comparable operations through telework

"The employer could have continued comparable operations through telework."

"Comparable operations" and "telework" are not in the statute; Tri-State defines a partial suspension as a temporary delay, interruption or termination of a portion of the business, and a haircut, a manicure, a massage, a tattoo, an embalming, a dry-cleaning route, a grooming and an appliance repair cannot be teleworked. The Notice's own words bear this out. Q&A-16 provides that where "the employer's physical work space is so critical to its trade or business operations that tasks central to the trade or business's operations are unable to be performed remotely, then this factor alone indicates that the employer is not able to continue comparable operations"; Q&A-15's Example 2 treats a physical-therapy facility, whose "workplace, including access to physical therapy equipment, is central to its operations," as partially suspended although it "moves to an online format" and serves some of its patients remotely; and Q&A-15's second paragraph provides that where "the closure of the workplace causes the employer to suspend business operations for certain purposes, but not others, it may be considered to have a partial suspension of operations due to the governmental order." The chair, the table, the grooming room, the preparation room and the laundry plant are the physical-therapy room of Example 2. Where a State ordered the booking desk and the office to telework (Kentucky, Illinois, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Michigan), the telework was the modification the order compelled, and a compelled modification of a more than nominal portion is a partial suspension, which is what Q&A-17 also says. The position substitutes a word Congress did not write for the one it did, and applies it to an industry whose product is performed by hand on a customer in the room.

Sentence 5: 5. Orders on the customers, not the employer

"The orders affected the employer's customers, not the employer (Q&A-13)."

Q&A-13 addresses an employer that is "not required to close its locations or suspend its operations" and that "suspends its operations due to the lack of demand." This analysis relies on no reduction in demand. It relies on orders that closed the salon by name, capped the funeral, closed the hotel and restaurant accounts of the laundry, barred the technician from the home, closed the grooming shop with non-essential retail, placed every operator and customer under face-covering requirements, and confined the workforce, and it relies on those orders as orders limiting commerce, travel and group meetings under the statute's text, Q&A-12's logic and the United States' admission that a third-party order counts. A stay-at-home order on the customer base is itself an order limiting commerce, and the commerce it limited was this industry's; Q&A-13's own example describes the order as one that "limits travel." Q&A-13's exclusion was, moreover, confined in April 2020 to "an essential business that is not required to close its physical locations or otherwise suspend its operations" and to a suspension claimed "for the sole reason" of the customers' order; the Notice extended it to every employer and to any "reduction in demand" on March 1, 2021, in a document the United States has represented has no force of law. The Service's invocation of Q&A-13 against an industry whose premises were closed by name misdescribes both the orders and the industry.

Sentence 6: 6. Voluntary measures

"The employer's measures were voluntary (Q&A-14)."

A salon that closed because Executive Order 107 ¶ 9 ordered it closed, that reopened by appointment because Kentucky's requirements said "provide services by appointment only," that spaced its chairs six feet because GA-21 ¶ 12.a required it, that stopped performing facials because New York City's Emergency Executive Order 130 prohibited them, and that required a face covering of every customer in August 2021 because Illinois' Executive Order 2021-20 required it, and enforced the requirement because Executive Order 2021-22 made enforcement the employer's duty, did nothing voluntary. Q&A-14 by its own terms reaches only a suspension "not due to a governmental order"; every modification relied on here is traced to an order with an exhibit identifier. Where an employer adopted a nationwide policy to comply with the orders of the jurisdictions that bound it, Q&A-20 makes it eligible "with respect to all of its operations in all locations." A modification traced to an order with an exhibit identifier is not voluntary, and the position that it was describes an employer whom no order reached; in this industry there was none.

Sentence 7: 7. The ten percent figure applied as a floor

"The portion of the business affected was not more than nominal (the 10 percent figure applied as a floor)."

The ten percent figure is, in the United States' words, "not determinative," "[e]ffectively ... a safe harbor," "not an eligibility requirement," "a quintessential safe harbor," "a safe harbor rather than a hard floor"; the District Court held it "is not an exclusionary cut-off point"; and Tri-State held that the Notice "provides a method for the test to be met not as a requirement to meet the test" and that reading it as a requirement "would read requirements into the statute that do not exist."

Read the full answer to sentence 7 and the record behind it →

Sentence 8: 8. Modifications of nominal effect

"The required modifications (masks, gloves, spacing, screening) had only a nominal effect (Q&A-18)."

The modifications relied on here are closure, appointment-only service, one customer per operator, six feet between stations, the elimination of waiting rooms, occupancy caps of twenty-five to fifty percent, the prohibition of every service performed on an uncovered face, the capping of every funeral, the exclusion of contract barbers from every nursing home and, in Puerto Rico, vaccination or weekly testing of every salon worker; the face-covering orders of July through September 2021 are relied on as what they are: occupational-health and airborne-transmission controls, orders from appropriate governmental authorities enforced by fine, license sanction and closure, that conditioned every premises in the States and metros that issued them and placed on the operator a duty to verify, post and enforce. Q&A-18 itself lists "requiring employees and customers to wear face coverings" among the modifications "required by a governmental order as a condition of reopening a physical space for business or service to the public," provides that a modification "that results in a reduction in an employer's ability to provide goods or services in the normal course of the employer's business of not less than 10 percent will be deemed to have more than a nominal effect," and confines its final sentence to "mask requirements" as "modifications altering customer behavior" and to rules "that require employees to wear masks and gloves while performing their duties"; the United States told the District Court that face masks bear on operations.

Sentence 9: 9. A declaration of emergency is not an order

"A declaration of emergency is not an order (Q&A-10)."

This analysis relies on no bare declaration as a suspending order. Each instrument in the layers and quarters sections limited commerce, travel or group meetings in terms. Where an emergency declaration is cited, it is cited as the instrument under which those orders were issued and continued, or as proof of a period, which the Notice's own text allows. The ground answers an argument this analysis does not make.

Sentence 10: 10. Supply-chain effects too attenuated

"The supplier was not itself closed by order; supply-chain effects are too attenuated (AM 2023-005)."

Chief Counsel memoranda "may not be used or cited as precedent," by their own legend, which Tri-State quoted in declining to rely on the Chief Counsel memorandum the United States offered there. The counterparties of this industry are the hotel, restaurant, office, gym, school and event venue whose linen the laundry cleans, the hospital and nursing home whose residents the barber serves and whose decedents the funeral home removes, the cemetery, the church and the courthouse, the cosmetology school and the licensing board, and the plant that makes the casket and the color; each was closed or conditioned by an order with a date and an exhibit identifier, and nothing here is attenuated. The United States told the Ninth Circuit that the supplier rule "never even mentions a 'physical[ ] clos[ure]' order against the supplier," and told the District Court that an employer is eligible where its operations are suspended "because of the supplier's inability to deliver."

Sentence 11: 11. The orders had lifted before the quarter

"The orders had lifted before the quarter began; any effect was a lingering effect."

For the third quarter of 2021 the orders had not lifted: the third quarter of 2021 in the quarters section, subpart B, lists, with dates, the orders in force on July 1 and September 30, 2021, and the paragraph that follows it names the expired instruments on which the proof does not rest. Where the position means that a suspension compelled by an order that expired on June 11 or June 30 ended at midnight, it misreads the clause, which asks whether the operation "is fully or partially suspended during the calendar quarter," and it contradicts Tri-State's definition of a suspension as a "delay," Q&A-22's whole-quarter rule and Q&A-16's transition rule. The position mistakes the date an order lapsed for the date the suspension it compelled ended; the clause asks about the second.

Sentence 12: 12. The gross-receipts decline

"The employer did not experience the required decline in gross receipts."

The gross-receipts prong is not relied on. The statute makes an employer eligible on either prong, and the United States admitted in Tri-State that the gross-receipts test is "another method to qualify," on which the court held "the fact an employer can be eligible and affected without partial or full suspension is reasonable." The suspension prong asks about operations, not revenue, and it is satisfied in every quarter. The ground answers a prong this analysis does not invoke; Congress joined the two prongs with "or."

Sentence 13: 13. Guidance, recommendations and best practices

"The instruments relied on are guidance, recommendations or best practices, not orders."

Every instrument this analysis relies on as a suspending order is an order, proclamation, rule, directive, statute or administrative order with the force of law, issued under a recited statutory or constitutional power and enforced by penalty, license or closure. Kentucky's requirements say "must" and condition the right "to reopen and remain open" on compliance; Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation wrote that "the following restrictions are mandatory"; Texas's Department of Licensing and Regulation's protocols were made "mandatory rules in Dallas County" by county order and were the condition on which GA-21 reopened the trade; New Jersey's Executive Order 154 permitted reopening only "provided that the facility complies with standards issued by the Division of Consumer Affairs and DOH"; Oregon's face-covering rule carries a civil penalty of $500 a day; Chicago's face-covering order carries closure; Mecklenburg's board of health rule carries abatement "up to and including shutting down a facility's operations." Where a State made a guidance document binding by incorporating it into an order, the binding instrument is the order, and it is the order that is cited. The Notice itself provides that whether an instrument is a governmental order "is determined without regard to the level of enforcement." The recommendations of the period are described in this analysis as recommendations and ground no finding. An instrument enforced by fine, license or closure is not a recommendation, and the position that it is misdescribes every instrument this analysis names.

Sentence 14: 14. The ordinary meaning of "order"

"'Order' must be given its ordinary meaning."

Agreed. An "order" is "a specific rule, regulation, or authoritative direction : command," including "a ruling or command made by a competent administrative authority," and "[a]n authoritative indication to be obeyed; a command or direction"; the United States agreed in Tri-State that the clause is read by "plain meaning," and the Service's own Chief Counsel defined "order" as "a command or mandate delivered by a government official." Every instrument in the findings of the quarters section is a command from a competent authority to do or refrain from doing something on pain of sanction: to close, to space, to book by appointment, to cover the face, to admit fewer than ten. That is the ordinary meaning, and it is satisfied.

11. How to use this report

Keep this report with your payroll records and the other records that support your claim. The Notice itself describes what those records are. Q&A-70 says an employer "will adequately substantiate eligibility for the employee retention credit if the employer creates and maintains records that include," among other things, "any governmental order to suspend the employer's business operations" and "any records the employer relied upon to determine whether more than a nominal portion of its operations were suspended due to a governmental order or whether a governmental order had more than a nominal effect on its business operations" (Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, Q&A-70, at 944-45). Q&A-71 says to keep those records "for at least 4 years after the date the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever comes later" (Q&A-71, at 945). This report is the first of those two items for your selection, and it is meant to sit beside the second.

If you have received a letter from the Service saying that no government orders were in effect during the quarter you claimed, this report answers that sentence with the public record, order by order. Read the quarter you claimed. For each instrument, the report gives you the issuer, the number, the dates, the words that commanded the change, the penalty behind them and the exhibit. Those are facts about the public record, and anyone can check them against the register, the code or the docket the report cites. The Service is free to argue about how much a given order affected your business. Whether the orders existed is not a matter of opinion.

Three points of public law matter to anyone holding such a letter. First, a notice that turns down a refund claim starts a clock. Under section 6532(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, a refund suit cannot be brought "after the expiration of 2 years from the date of mailing by certified mail or registered mail by the Secretary to the taxpayer of a notice of the disallowance of the part of the claim to which the suit or proceeding relates." Second, asking the IRS Independent Office of Appeals to review the letter does not stop that clock; the Service's own page on the letter says so ("Requesting an appeal doesn't extend this time"), and section 6532(a)(4) provides that the Service's later consideration of the claim does not extend the period. Third, the period can be extended only by a written agreement between you and the Service under section 6532(a)(2), made on Form 907, Agreement to Extend the Time to Bring Suit, and effective only if the Service signs it before the two years run out.
