1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: industry Mining, Oil and Gas, and Energy 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=23&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: Mining, Oil and Gas, and Energy Services

Extraction was the industry the orders touched from three directions at once, and every direction was an order of an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings. First, the stay-home and closure orders of March and April 2020 designated energy and mining as essential or critical infrastructure in every closure State, and designation was the premise of conditions, never an exemption from them: Colorado's PHO 20-24 named 'Oil and gas extraction, production, refining, storage, transport and distribution' as Critical Infrastructure and subjected it to the Social Distancing Requirements (Exs. CO-013, CO-016, CO-047); New Mexico's March 23, 2020 order named 'oil drilling, oil refining, natural resources extraction or mining operations' as essential and in the same order capped every hotel, motel and RV park at fifty percent of occupancy, then twenty-five percent from April 6, 2020 (Exs. NM-006, NM-010); Alaska's Essential Services and Critical Workforce Infrastructure Order listed 'oil production, mining' and required every worker arriving from out of State to quarantine for fourteen days and every critical-infrastructure business to file a protective plan (Exs. AK-021, AK-012, AK-022); Pennsylvania's Life-Sustaining Business list of March 19, 2020 marked Oil and Gas Extraction 'Yes' but Coal Mining, Metal Ore Mining, Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying, Support Activities for Mining and Utility Subsystem Construction 'No' (Ex. PA-004; SEC-09-007), so that in the largest Appalachian mining State the March 19 closure order reached the mines and the mining-services contractors by name; Minnesota named 'iron ore mining and processing operations and supplier/vendor industries' as a Critical Sector under a stay-home order (Exs. MN-010, MN-012, MN-017); Nevada's Directive 003 provided that 'the construction, mining, manufacturing, and infrastructure sector labor force may continue operations, but must' adopt the mitigation measures the Directive imposed (Ex. NV-004); Texas's GA-14 defined essential services by CISA version 2.0 and ordered every person to 'minimize in-person contact with people who are not in the same household' (Ex. TX-008); Oklahoma's Essential Industries List named NAICS 21 Mining, Oil and Gas Extraction, 486 Pipeline Transportation and 324 Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing as the sectors permitted to stay open while every other business closed (Ex. OK-014). Second, the travel-quarantine orders of 2020 and the winter of 2020-21 reached the rotating crews on which the industry runs: Texas GA-12 ordered 'Every person who enters the State of Texas through roadways from Louisiana' to self-quarantine for fourteen days (Mar. 30-May 1, 2020) (Ex. TX-007); North Dakota's State Health Officer confined 'any person who enters North Dakota traveling from another state or country' for fourteen days, exempting essential critical infrastructure workers only while asymptomatic (Exs. ND-014, ND-021, Apr. 8-Sept. 21, 2020); Montana and Wyoming ordered fourteen-day quarantine of every person arriving 'for a non-work-related purpose' and made every hotel and short-term rental post the quarantine notice (Exs. MT-010, WY-010); New Mexico ordered every arriving traveler to quarantine from July 1, 2020 to February 10, 2021 (Exs. NM-024, NM-031, NM-037, NM-051); Pennsylvania required a negative test or quarantine of every person entering the Commonwealth from November 20, 2020 to March 1, 2021 (Exs. PA-021, PA-027, PA-113, PA-032); Kansas kept a travel-quarantine mandate in force on every day of the six quarters (Exs. KS-053 to KS-057); Alaska's Health Mandate 010 and its successors ran from March 25, 2020 to February 14, 2021 (Exs. AK-012, AK-022, AK-035). Third, the sector regulators changed the terms on which the industry could operate: the Railroad Commission of Texas issued notices to operators on March 19, March 24, April 3, May 5, September 29 and December 21, 2020 extending Statewide Rule 32 flaring notifications, inviting disaster waivers, extending permits, Rule 14(b)(2) plugging deadlines and Form P-5 compliance to September 30 and then December 31, 2020, and on May 5, 2020 adopting three orders of temporary exceptions 'in recognition of the unprecedented national and global economic conditions currently impacting the oil and gas industry' (Exs. SEC-23-001 to SEC-23-007); the North Dakota Industrial Commission directed the Department of Mineral Resources on March 24, 2020 to reinstate the Not Completed Well, Inactive Well and Suspension of Drilling waivers 'to promote the prevention of waste' (Ex. SEC-23-028), and its Director's Cuts record the rig count falling from 55 to 12 and active completion crews falling 'from 25 to 1' between April and September 2020 (Exs. SEC-23-013 to SEC-23-016); the New Mexico State Land Office adopted emergency rule 19.2.100.71 NMAC on April 21, 2020 allowing shut-in of oil wells on State trust lands without lease expiration 'because of a severe reduction in the price of oil' (Exs. SEC-23-008 to SEC-23-012); FERC issued its Business Continuity of Energy Infrastructure policy statement (Docket PL20-5-000, April 7, 2020), Order No. 870 delegating action on COVID-19 waiver and extension requests, the AD20-11 extension of non-statutory deadlines, the AD20-16 shortened comment period 'to ensure regulated entities' liquidity in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic' and the PL20-6 policy statement on oil pipelines, and its Federal Register of September 14, 2021 carries the request to extend the COVID-19 AFUDC waiver to March 31, 2022 (Exs. SEC-23-017 to SEC-23-023). Fourth, the demand side: EIA's June 2020 Short-Term Energy Outlook records that 'Lower demand is the result of COVID-19-related shutdowns throughout much of the world' and ties the recovery to the easing of 'stay-at-home orders,' with U.S. jet fuel consumption down 64 percent, gasoline down 26 percent and crude production falling from 12.9 million b/d to 11.4 million b/d as Baker Hughes reported the fewest active drilling rigs in its records (Ex. SEC-23-024); WTI settled at negative $37.63 on April 20, 2020 (EIA via FRED). Employment in support activities for mining fell from 313,400 in February 2020 to 208,000 in December 2020 and stood at 231,400 in September 2021; oil and gas extraction fell from 136,500 to 111,400; mining and logging from 684,000 to 566,000 (BLS CES via FRED, read Sept. 27, 2026). The third quarter of 2021 is not empty for this industry: in force July 1 to September 30, 2021 were the CDC conveyance mask order and the TSA directives on every crew flight and transit commute (FED-020, FED-021, FED-051, FED-052); the DHS land-border notices to November 8, 2021 on Canadian and Mexican crews, equipment and supply (FED-232 to FED-235, FED-255 to FED-258); EO 14042 from September 9, 2021 on federal contractors (FED-063, FED-275); the Cal/OSHA ETS as readopted June 17, 2021 (CA-024), Virginia's 16VAC25-220 (VA-037, VA-038), Oregon OSHA's OAR 437-001-0744 (OR-041, OR-044) and Washington L&I's rules on every employer in those States; Louisiana's statewide indoor mask mandate from August 4, 2021 (LA-036 to LA-040), New Mexico's from August 20, 2021 (NM-067, NM-070), Illinois's from August 30, 2021 (IL-042), Oregon's OAR 333-019-1025 from August 13, 2021 (OR-048), Nevada's Directive 047 from July 30, 2021 in the mining counties of Elko, Lander, Humboldt, Eureka and White Pine as their transmission levels dictated (NV-041, NV-067), Washington's Secretary of Health orders 20-03.3 and 20-03.4 (WA-070, WA-078) and Proclamation 21-14 on State contractors (WA-077, WA-079, WA-087); Kansas's KDHE travel-quarantine mandate (KS-056, KS-057); the Navajo Nation's Public Health Emergency Orders on the Nation's coal, oil and gas lands (AZ-079, AZ-080, AZ-081); the continuing disaster and emergency declarations of Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, California, Oregon, Washington and Colorado; the New York, Colorado, Minnesota and Connecticut utility-disconnection statutes and orders that bound utilities and their contractors (AGY-ST-UTILITIES-HOUSING-AG-006, -007, -036, -031; CT-065; WA-014; NJ-061); the FERC COVID-19 waiver regime (SEC-23-023); the OCC's remote-hearing regime for every Oklahoma oil and gas docket (SEC-23-026); and the Coast Guard's MSIB 02-21 mask requirement and MSIB 04-21 crew-change bulletin on every offshore supply vessel (AGY-USCG-PORTS-037, -038, -032).

5. The orders, quarter by quarter

For each quarter selected, the instruments in force appear by layer: the federal layer (the Library's FED-A and FED-B files, including the federal court orders they hold), the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators, and the agencies, boards and authorities whose orders resolve to the State. Within a layer the instruments that carry the industry's key limitation types come first, then the rest in date order. An instrument in force across several quarters is described in full where it first appears and listed in compact form in each later quarter. Every item carries its citation and its exhibit identifier.

EIA forecasts that demand for global petroleum and liquid fuels will average 83.8 million barrels per day (b/d) in the second quarter of 2020, 16.6 million b/d lower than at the same time last year. Lower demand is the result of COVID-19-related shutdowns throughout much of the world. As stay-at-home orders are eased, EIA expects liquid fuels consumption will rise... EIA expects jet fuel consumption to fall by 64% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2020, while gasoline consumption falls by 26% and distillate consumption falls by 17%.... EIA estimates U.S. crude oil production fell from a record 12.9 million b/d in November 2019 to 11.4 million b/d in May 2020 as Baker Hughes reported the fewest active drilling wells in the United States in their records which go back to 1987.... This 2020 production decline would mark the first annual decline since 2016.

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 Mining, Oil and Gas, and Energy 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 202 instruments in force for this selection: 23 instruments from the regulators of Mining, Oil and Gas, and Energy Services (Railroad Commission of Texas, Oil and Gas Division, Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: Extension of Notification Requirements Under Statewide Rule 32 (Mar. 19, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-001); North Dakota Industrial Commission (Governor Doug Burgum, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring); Department of Mineral Resources, Press release, 'North Dakota DMR to Reinstate Well Waivers' (Mar. 24, 2020): Commission direction to reinstate the Not Completed Well, Inactive Well and Suspension of Drilling waiver guidelines (Ex. SEC-23-028); Railroad Commission of Texas, Oil and Gas Division (Administrative Compliance and Technical Permitting Sections), Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: Extension of Certain Expirations and Filing Requirements Administered by the Administrative Compliance and Technical Permitting Sections (Apr. 3, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-003); and 20 more) and 179 federal instruments (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HHS (CDC Director), CDC No Sail Order and Suspension of Further Embarkation (Mar. 14, 2020) (Ex. FED-027); The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force (with CDC), The President's Coronavirus Guidelines for America: 15 Days to Slow the Spread (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-190); Office of Management and Budget (Acting Director Russell T. Vought), OMB Memorandum M-20-16 (Mar. 17, 2020) (Ex. FED-264); 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 Mining, Oil and Gas industry, as the Library records them: extraction and production sites (EX; Ex. SEC-23-001, Ex. SEC-23-028, Ex. SEC-23-003, Ex. SEC-23-008 and 12 more); oilfield and well services (SV; Ex. SEC-23-028, Ex. SEC-23-002, Ex. SEC-23-013, Ex. SEC-23-014 and 2 more); drilling and completion crews (DR; Ex. SEC-23-028, Ex. SEC-23-013, Ex. SEC-23-014, Ex. SEC-23-024 and 1 more); pipeline and utility construction (PL; Ex. SEC-23-020, Ex. SEC-23-025, Ex. SEC-23-017, Ex. SEC-23-018 and 2 more); permits, inspections and regulator filings (PM; Ex. SEC-23-001, Ex. SEC-23-028, Ex. SEC-23-003, Ex. SEC-23-008 and 8 more); office, administration and telework (OP; Ex. SEC-23-001, Ex. SEC-23-003, Ex. SEC-23-017, Ex. SEC-23-021); workforce availability (WF; Ex. SEC-23-013, Ex. SEC-23-014, Ex. SEC-23-015, Ex. SEC-23-029); producers, utilities, refiners (CB; Ex. SEC-23-008, Ex. SEC-23-004, Ex. SEC-23-020, Ex. SEC-23-025 and 8 more).

Step three, the change compelled. Railroad Commission of Texas, Oil and Gas Division, Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: Extension of Notification Requirements Under Statewide Rule 32 (Mar. 19, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-001) ordered: "On March 13, 2020 the Governor of Texas declared a state of disaster for the State of Texas due to the COVID-19 virus. The Railroad Commission of Texas (Commission) and a large number of operators are now working remotely in order to help respond to this situation. In recognition of these…" Enforcement: SWR 32 flaring and venting rule; Commission enforcement under Tex. Nat. Res. Code § 81.0531 North Dakota Industrial Commission (Governor Doug Burgum, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring); Department of Mineral Resources, Press release, 'North Dakota DMR to Reinstate Well Waivers' (Mar. 24, 2020): Commission direction to reinstate the Not Completed Well, Inactive Well and Suspension of Drilling waiver guidelines (Ex. SEC-23-028) ordered: "The Department of Mineral Resources was directed today by the North Dakota Industrial Commission to immediately reinstate guidelines that promote the prevention of waste of the state's natural resources of oil and gas during the current economic climate. The Not Completed Well Waiver guidelines…" Enforcement: N.D. Admin. Code 43-02-03-55 (abandoned and inactive wells) as waived Railroad Commission of Texas, Oil and Gas Division (Administrative Compliance and Technical Permitting Sections), Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: Extension of Certain Expirations and Filing Requirements Administered by the Administrative Compliance and Technical Permitting Sections (Apr. 3, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-003) ordered: "During this disaster declaration period, the Railroad Commission of Texas ('Commission') is extending deadlines for certain expirations and filing requirements effective immediately through September 30, 2020, as follows: 1. All current permits, licenses, registrations, and rule exceptions (except…" Enforcement: Commission NOVs, severances and P-5 renewals; financial security still required 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. Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: Extension of Notification Requirements Under Statewide… (Ex. SEC-23-001) was in force from Mar. 19, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020, 104 of the quarter's 110 days; Press release, 'North Dakota DMR to Reinstate Well Waivers' (Mar. 24, 2020): Commission… (Ex. SEC-23-028) was in force from Mar. 24, 2020 to May 20, 2020, 58 of the quarter's 110 days; Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: Extension of Certain Expirations and Filing Requirements… (Ex. SEC-23-003) was in force from Apr. 3, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020, 89 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 23 instruments in the quarter's record, 0 were in force on its first day, 19 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 Mining, Oil and Gas 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 180 instruments in force for this selection: 17 instruments from the regulators of Mining, Oil and Gas, and Energy Services (Railroad Commission of Texas, Oil and Gas Division, Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: Extension of Notification Requirements Under Statewide Rule 32 (Mar. 19, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-001); North Dakota Industrial Commission (Governor Doug Burgum, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring); Department of Mineral Resources, Press release, 'North Dakota DMR to Reinstate Well Waivers' (Mar. 24, 2020): Commission direction to reinstate the Not Completed Well, Inactive Well and Suspension of Drilling waiver guidelines (Ex. SEC-23-028); Railroad Commission of Texas, Oil and Gas Division (Administrative Compliance and Technical Permitting Sections), Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: Extension of Certain Expirations and Filing Requirements Administered by the Administrative Compliance and Technical Permitting Sections (Apr. 3, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-003); and 14 more) and 163 federal instruments (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HHS (CDC Director), CDC No Sail Order and Suspension of Further Embarkation (Mar. 14, 2020) (Ex. FED-027); Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS, Temporary Final Rule, Prioritization and Allocation of Certain Scarce or Threatened Health and Medical Resources for Domestic Use (Apr. 7, 2020) (Ex. FED-075); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HHS, No Sail Order; Notice of Modification and Extension (Apr. 9, 2020) (Ex. FED-028); and 160 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 Mining, Oil and Gas industry, as the Library records them: extraction and production sites (EX; Ex. SEC-23-001, Ex. SEC-23-028, Ex. SEC-23-003, Ex. SEC-23-008 and 7 more); oilfield and well services (SV; Ex. SEC-23-028, Ex. SEC-23-002, Ex. SEC-23-029, Ex. SEC-23-016); drilling and completion crews (DR; Ex. SEC-23-028, Ex. SEC-23-016); pipeline and utility construction (PL; Ex. SEC-23-020, Ex. SEC-23-017, Ex. SEC-23-018, Ex. SEC-23-019 and 1 more); permits, inspections and regulator filings (PM; Ex. SEC-23-001, Ex. SEC-23-028, Ex. SEC-23-003, Ex. SEC-23-008 and 6 more); office, administration and telework (OP; Ex. SEC-23-001, Ex. SEC-23-003, Ex. SEC-23-006, Ex. SEC-23-017 and 1 more); workforce availability (WF; Ex. SEC-23-029, Ex. SEC-23-016); producers, utilities, refiners (CB; Ex. SEC-23-008, Ex. SEC-23-004, Ex. SEC-23-020, Ex. SEC-23-017 and 4 more).

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020, 92 days. Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: Extension of Notification Requirements Under Statewide… (Ex. SEC-23-001) was in force from Mar. 19, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: Extension of Certain Expirations and Filing Requirements… (Ex. SEC-23-003) was in force from Apr. 3, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: Temporary Exceptions to Certain Administrative Rules… (Ex.

Of the 17 instruments in the quarter's record, 11 were in force on its first day, 12 on its last day and 10 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 Mining, Oil and Gas 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.

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 Mining, Oil and Gas industry, as the Library records them: extraction and production sites (EX; Ex.

Reg. 36322 (June 16, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-020); Railroad Commission of Texas, Oil and Gas Division, Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: State of Disaster in Texas Waiver Requests (Mar. 24, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-002); Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Policy Statement, Business Continuity of Energy Infrastructure, 85 Fed. Reg. 19466 (Apr. 7, 2020) (issued Apr. 2, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-017); and 3 more) and 175 federal instruments (President Donald J. Trump, Executive Order 13917, Delegating Authority Under the Defense Production Act With Respect to Food Supply Chain Resources, 85 Fed. Reg. 26313 (Apr. 28, 2020) (Ex. FED-073); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HHS, CDC Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (Oct. 30, 2020) (Ex. FED-031); Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS, Temporary Final Rule extending and modifying the PPE allocation rule (Dec. 31, 2020) (Ex. FED-078); and 172 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 Mining, Oil and Gas industry, as the Library records them: extraction and production sites (EX; Ex. SEC-23-002, Ex. SEC-23-027); oilfield and well services (SV; Ex. SEC-23-002); pipeline and utility construction (PL; Ex. SEC-23-020, Ex. SEC-23-017, Ex. SEC-23-018); permits, inspections and regulator filings (PM; Ex. SEC-23-002, Ex. SEC-23-018, Ex. SEC-23-005); office, administration and telework (OP; Ex. SEC-23-017); producers, utilities, refiners (CB; Ex. SEC-23-020, Ex. SEC-23-017, Ex. SEC-23-018, Ex. SEC-23-027).

Step three, the change compelled. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Policy Statement, Commission Action To Address Effects of COVID-19 on Oil Pipelines, 85 Fed. Reg. 36322 (June 16, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-020) ordered: "In this policy statement, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission provides guidance regarding the Commission's response to the effects of the national emergency caused by COVID-19 on oil pipelines.... Measures to mitigate or slow the transmission of COVID-19 have [reduced travel and] consumption of…" Enforcement: Tariff waivers under 18 C.F.R. 341.14, 342.3, 342.4 Railroad Commission of Texas, Oil and Gas Division, Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: State of Disaster in Texas Waiver Requests (Mar. 24, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-002) ordered: "On March 13, Governor Greg Abbott declared a State of Disaster in Texas for all Texas counties in response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. During the State of Disaster, oil and gas operators may request a waiver for regulatory requirements from the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC).…" Enforcement: Case-by-case waiver of Commission regulatory requirements Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Policy Statement, Business Continuity of Energy Infrastructure, 85 Fed. Reg. 19466 (Apr. 7, 2020) (issued Apr. 2, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-017) ordered: "The Commission states that it will expeditiously review and act on requests for relief in response to the national emergency caused by COVID-19, and that it will give its highest priority to processing filings made for the purpose of assuring the business continuity of regulated entities' energy…" Enforcement: Commission processing of waiver, extension and cost-recovery requests 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 Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021, 90 days. Policy Statement, Commission Action To Address Effects of COVID-19 on Oil Pipelines, 85… (Ex. SEC-23-020) was in force from June 16, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 90 of the quarter's 90 days; Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: State of Disaster in Texas Waiver Requests (Ex. SEC-23-002) was in force from Mar. 24, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 90 of the quarter's 90 days; Policy Statement, Business Continuity of Energy Infrastructure, 85 Fed. Reg. 19466 (Apr.… (Ex. SEC-23-017) was in force from Apr. 7, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 90 of the quarter's 90 days. Of the 6 instruments in the quarter's record, 5 were in force on its first day, 5 on its last day and 5 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 Mining, Oil and Gas 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 172 instruments in force for this selection: 7 instruments from the regulators of Mining, Oil and Gas, and Energy Services (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Policy Statement, Commission Action To Address Effects of COVID-19 on Oil Pipelines, 85 Fed. Reg. 36322 (June 16, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-020); Railroad Commission of Texas, Oil and Gas Division, Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: State of Disaster in Texas Waiver Requests (Mar. 24, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-002); Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Policy Statement, Business Continuity of Energy Infrastructure, 85 Fed. Reg. 19466 (Apr. 7, 2020) (issued Apr. 2, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-017); and 4 more) and 165 federal instruments (President Donald J. Trump, Executive Order 13917, Delegating Authority Under the Defense Production Act With Respect to Food Supply Chain Resources, 85 Fed. Reg. 26313 (Apr. 28, 2020) (Ex. FED-073); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HHS, CDC Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (Oct. 30, 2020) (Ex. FED-031); Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS, Temporary Final Rule extending and modifying the PPE allocation rule (Dec. 31, 2020) (Ex. FED-078); 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 Mining, Oil and Gas industry, as the Library records them: extraction and production sites (EX; Ex. SEC-23-002, Ex. SEC-23-027); oilfield and well services (SV; Ex. SEC-23-002); pipeline and utility construction (PL; Ex. SEC-23-020, Ex. SEC-23-017, Ex. SEC-23-018); permits, inspections and regulator filings (PM; Ex. SEC-23-002, Ex. SEC-23-018, Ex. SEC-23-005, Ex. SEC-23-026); office, administration and telework (OP; Ex. SEC-23-017, Ex. SEC-23-026); producers, utilities, refiners (CB; Ex. SEC-23-020, Ex. SEC-23-017, Ex. SEC-23-018, Ex. SEC-23-027).

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021, 91 days. Policy Statement, Commission Action To Address Effects of COVID-19 on Oil Pipelines, 85… (Ex. SEC-23-020) was in force from June 16, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 91 of the quarter's 91 days; Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: State of Disaster in Texas Waiver Requests (Ex. SEC-23-002) was in force from Mar. 24, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 91 of the quarter's 91 days; Policy Statement, Business Continuity of Energy Infrastructure, 85 Fed. Reg. 19466 (Apr.… (Ex. SEC-23-017) was in force from Apr. 7, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 91 of the quarter's 91 days. Of the 7 instruments in the quarter's record, 5 were in force on its first day, 6 on its last day and 5 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 Mining, Oil and Gas 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 175 instruments in force for this selection: 8 instruments from the regulators of Mining, Oil and Gas, and Energy Services (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Policy Statement, Commission Action To Address Effects of COVID-19 on Oil Pipelines, 85 Fed. Reg. 36322 (June 16, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-020); Railroad Commission of Texas, Oil and Gas Division, Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: State of Disaster in Texas Waiver Requests (Mar. 24, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-002); Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Policy Statement, Business Continuity of Energy Infrastructure, 85 Fed. Reg. 19466 (Apr. 7, 2020) (issued Apr. 2, 2020) (Ex. SEC-23-017); and 5 more) and 167 federal instruments (President Donald J. Trump, Executive Order 13917, Delegating Authority Under the Defense Production Act With Respect to Food Supply Chain Resources, 85 Fed. Reg. 26313 (Apr. 28, 2020) (Ex. FED-073); 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 (order signed by the CDC Director Jan. 29, 2021), CDC Order, Requirement for Persons To Wear Masks While on Conveyances and at Transportation Hubs, 86 Fed. Reg. 8025 (Feb. 3, 2021; effective Feb. 1, 2021) (Jan. 29, 2021) (Ex. FED-020); 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 Mining, Oil and Gas industry, as the Library records them: extraction and production sites (EX; Ex. SEC-23-002, Ex. SEC-23-027); oilfield and well services (SV; Ex. SEC-23-002); pipeline and utility construction (PL; Ex. SEC-23-020, Ex. SEC-23-017, Ex. SEC-23-018, Ex. SEC-23-023); permits, inspections and regulator filings (PM; Ex. SEC-23-002, Ex. SEC-23-018, Ex. SEC-23-005, Ex. SEC-23-026); office, administration and telework (OP; Ex. SEC-23-017, Ex. SEC-23-026); producers, utilities, refiners (CB; Ex. SEC-23-020, Ex. SEC-23-017, Ex. SEC-23-018, Ex. SEC-23-023 and 1 more).

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 days. Policy Statement, Commission Action To Address Effects of COVID-19 on Oil Pipelines, 85… (Ex. SEC-23-020) was in force from June 16, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Notice to Oil and Gas Operators: State of Disaster in Texas Waiver Requests (Ex. SEC-23-002) was in force from Mar. 24, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Policy Statement, Business Continuity of Energy Infrastructure, 85 Fed. Reg. 19466 (Apr.… (Ex. SEC-23-017) was in force from Apr. 7, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days. Of the 8 instruments in the quarter's record, 6 were in force on its first day, 8 on its last day and 6 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 Mining, Oil and Gas 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 Mining, Oil and Gas, and Energy Services

The Service's letters and its examiners' Forms 886-A rest on fourteen positions. Each is stated below in the Service's general vocabulary and answered from the text of the Suspension Clause, from Tri-State, from the instruments in the Library and from the United States' own representations to two federal courts: its 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. 44"); the summary-judgment order of June 20, 2025, ECF No. 49 ("Doc. 49"); the answering brief of the United States in the appeal, No. 25-4217 (9th Cir. Jan. 30, 2026) ("Br. for Appellees"); the opening brief of the appellant (Sept. 17, 2025) ("Opening Br."); and the transcript of the preliminary-injunction hearing of July 16, 2024 ("Tr."). None of the fourteen survives the record. Where a position rests on a Notice gloss, the answer notes what the United States has said the gloss is: an interpretation without the force of law, binding on the Service where it helps the employer and without force where it narrows the text. The general answers are on this site's fourteen grounds pages; these are the answers for mining, oil and gas and energy services.

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.

The sentence is the Service's form language on the suspension prong. For an employer in this industry it is contradicted, quarter by quarter, by the six quarters above. In the second quarter of 2020 the orders in force included Texas GA-14 and GA-12 (Ex. TX-008; Ex. TX-007), New Mexico's March 23 order (Ex. NM-006), Pennsylvania's list closing the mines by name (Ex. PA-004), North Dakota's Confinement Order 2020-02.1 (Ex. ND-021), the Railroad Commission's notices (Ex. SEC-23-001; Ex. SEC-23-004), the New Mexico shut-in rule (Ex. SEC-23-008), FERC's Order No. 870 and the business-continuity regime it administered (Ex. SEC-23-018; Ex. SEC-23-017) and the federal border, entry and allocation instruments (Ex. FED-216; Ex. FED-211; Ex. FED-075). In the third quarter of 2021 they included the federal conveyance mask order and security directives, the airborne-transmission control on every flight, bus, train and transportation hub (Ex. FED-020; Ex. FED-051; Ex. FED-052), the land-border limits (Ex. FED-233; Ex. FED-256), New Mexico's COVID-Safe Practices order and universal face-covering requirement (Ex. NM-060; Ex. NM-067), Louisiana's statewide face-covering order, the airborne-transmission control Proclamation 137 JBE 2021 placed on every person in every indoor workplace in the State (Ex. LA-036), Nevada's Directive 047 (Ex. NV-041), the State OSHA rules of four States (Ex. CA-024; Ex. VA-037; Ex. OR-044; Ex. AGY-ST-LABOR-WORKPLACE-055), FERC's waiver regime under Order No. 870 (Ex. SEC-23-018; Ex. SEC-23-023) and Executive Order 14042 (Ex. FED-063). Every one is a public record subject to judicial notice. The Service's own Q&A-10 says that "orders, proclamations, or decrees from the Federal government or any State or local government" qualify "without regard to the level of enforcement," and the United States told the District Court the same. The sentence describes a period that did not occur. It is factually incorrect, and it cannot be squared with the Federal Register for a single day of the third quarter of 2021.

Sentence 2: 2. Essential and open

The employer operated an essential business and remained open.

The statute does not contain the word "essential." It asks whether the operation was "fully or partially suspended"; "partially" contemplates continuing operation, and an employer that "remained open" on conditions an order imposed was open on the order's terms. Every essential designation in this record was the premise of a condition, never an exemption: Colorado's Critical Businesses "must comply with Social Distancing Requirements and all PHOs" (Ex. CO-013); Nevada's mining labor force "may continue operations, but shall maintain strict social distancing practices" (Ex. NV-004); Alaska's critical-infrastructure businesses had to quarantine every arriving out-of-State worker and file a protective plan (Ex. AK-021); New Mexico named extraction essential and, in the same instrument, capped its lodging (Ex. NM-006). The Service's own Q&A-11 excludes only an employer whose order "allows all of the employer's operations to remain open," and its own last sentence treats a compelled closure "for a period of time during normal working hours" as a partial suspension; its Q&A-17 finds a partial suspension wherever a workplace is closed "for certain purposes" but open for others. The Service's April 29, 2020 FAQs contained no nominal test at all; the words "more than a nominal" first appeared on June 19, 2020, and the ten percent deeming rule not until March 1, 2021. Pennsylvania, moreover, did not designate the mines essential: Coal Mining, Metal Ore Mining, Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying and Support Activities for Mining were marked "No" (Ex. PA-004). Tri-State answers the rest: the position that the changes an order compelled on an operating hospital were not a suspension would mean "there are not many businesses or any business that would be eligible under the ERC at all." "Essential" is a word the orders used to describe whom they conditioned; it is not a word Congress used to describe whom it excluded.

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 of an order or of its addressee; it asks whether the order was from an appropriate governmental authority and limited commerce, travel or group meetings. A stay-home order is an order limiting travel and group meetings in terms, and the commerce it limited was the employer's. The Service's own Q&A-10 lists "A State's emergency proclamation that residents must shelter in place for a specified period" and "An order from a local official imposing a curfew on residents that impacts the operating hours of a trade or business" as qualifying orders, and its current FAQ page still does. The United States told the District Court that orders "directed at business operations (operational hours, space, etc.) would also be considered"; the exclusion it appended for orders addressed to the public appears nowhere in the statute, cannot be squared with the Notice the United States was upholding, which lists the shelter-in-place proclamation first among qualifying orders, and rides on a document the United States has represented "lacks the force of law"; the Service is bound by its own Notice "to the same extent as a revenue ruling." In this industry the distinction has no purchase in any event: Texas GA-14 was addressed to "every person in Texas" and to every business by the critical-infrastructure list at once (Ex. TX-008); New Mexico's March 23 order addressed the public, the essential businesses and the hotels in one instrument (Ex. NM-006); North Dakota's Confinement Order addressed "any person who enters North Dakota," which is to say every crew (Ex. ND-021); the Navajo Nation's lockdowns addressed everyone on the Nation's lands (Ex. AGY-TRIBAL-003). The Service is free to prefer orders addressed to businesses. It is not free to read out of the statute the orders Congress described and the Service itself listed.

Sentence 4: 4. Telework

The employer could have continued comparable operations through telework.

"Comparable operations" and "telework" are not in the statute. Q&A-15's exclusion applies only where operations "comparable to its operations prior to the closure" continued, and Q&A-16's own factor (3) makes physical work space "so critical" that "this factor alone" defeats comparability wherever central tasks cannot be performed remotely. A rig is drilled on location; a well is completed on location; a mine is mined underground or in the pit; a pipeline is laid in a trench; a crew is lodged in a camp. Not one of the first seven functions described above can be performed by telework, and the orders that reached them were orders on travel, lodging, borders, job sites and regulators, not orders a laptop could satisfy (Ex. ND-021; Ex. NM-010; Ex. FED-020; Ex. CA-024; Ex. SEC-23-001). Where telework was compelled, it was compelled by order and it was a modification the order caused: Pennsylvania's "Unless not possible, all businesses are required to conduct their operations in whole or in part remotely through individual teleworking" and "Unless impossible, all businesses must conduct their operations remotely" (Ex. PA-016; Ex. PA-022), New Jersey's protocols (Ex. NJ-036), Minnesota's mandate (Ex. MN-037), the Railroad Commission's own account that it and "a large number of operators are now working remotely" (Ex. SEC-23-001). Q&A-16 itself recognizes that the move is "a partial suspension during that transition period." An office that an order sent home was an office the order changed; the remainder continuing is what "partial" means.

Sentence 5: 5. Orders on customers

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

The statute asks whether the operation was suspended "due to" an order limiting commerce; it does not ask whom the order addressed, and an order that removed the customer's demand limited the employer's commerce in the plainest sense. The Notice's own Q&A-12 treats an order on a supplier as an order that suspends the employer "due to" it, and the United States told the Ninth Circuit that "a business may be suspended 'due to' a government order addressing a third party." Q&A-13 cannot be reconciled with Q&A-10, which lists the shelter-in-place proclamation as an order, or with Q&A-12, or with the United States' admission; its own example recites that the order "limits travel." The exclusion was, moreover, confined on April 29, 2020 to what the FAQ called "an essential business that is not required to close its physical locations" 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, eleven months after the second quarter of 2020 began. In this industry the customer-order point is the mechanism the Suspension Clause reaches: the orders on travel and commerce cut jet fuel sixty-four percent and gasoline twenty-six percent, the producers shut in under their regulators' rules, and the service company's only customer stopped buying (Ex. SEC-23-024; Ex. SEC-23-008; Ex. SEC-23-028; Ex. SEC-23-015). The Energy Information Administration attributed the collapse to "COVID-19-related shutdowns" in its own words. A demand the orders removed is a limitation on commerce the orders imposed, and the statute asks nothing more.

Sentence 6: 6. Voluntary measures

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

"Voluntary" is not in the statute; "due to" is, and it means but-for causation. Q&A-14 by its own terms reaches only a suspension "not due to a governmental order." A quarantine of an arriving crew under Texas GA-12, North Dakota's Confinement Order or New Mexico's Executive Order 2020-054 was not voluntary (Ex. TX-007; Ex. ND-021; Ex. NM-024); a lodging cap was not voluntary (Ex. NM-010); a written prevention program under Cal/OSHA's standard was not voluntary (Ex. CA-024); a face covering on a rig floor under GA-29, Directive 047 or Proclamation 137 JBE 2021, and the exposure-control regime each formed part of, was not voluntary (Ex. TX-022; Ex. NV-041; Ex. LA-036); a shut-in under 19.2.100.71 NMAC was not voluntary (Ex. SEC-23-008); a deadline rolled by the Railroad Commission was not voluntary (Ex. SEC-23-003). Tri-State accepted the hospital's allegation that the changes made "to ensure compliance with the Proclamation" "were not voluntary," held that "the required protocols and procedures to comply with the Proclamation" were caused by the order, and held that "[s]ick patients and employees alone did not require additional protocols." The Service's position mistakes the employer's obedience for its choice. Compliance with an order is the opposite of a voluntary act.

Q&A-14 reaches only a suspension "not due to a governmental order," and the United States and the District Court have defined the excluded employer as one "not being ordered to do so." No employer in the eight principal States answered that description in any quarter. The reopening orders permitted operation only on conditions: Texas's "shall operate at no more than," New Mexico's "must operate in accordance with," Oklahoma's "must publicly post and adhere," Louisiana's "shall be allowed to operate under the following conditions," North Dakota's "must be adopted and rigorously followed," California's "shall establish, implement, and maintain," Pennsylvania's "provided that the businesses fully comply" and Colorado's "shall comply with the requirements," each backed by a penalty or offense provision (see the standing duties above). The standing statutes commanded the same conduct independently: Health and Safety Code section 81.002 ("Each person shall act responsibly to prevent and control communicable disease") with its control-measure offenses, the workplace-safety statutes of all eight States, and the general duty clause, 29 U.S.C. § 654(a)(1). Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and North Dakota then fixed the standard of care as compliance with governmental standards, guidance, orders and protocols; the other four States enacted no shield and left the ordinary standard of care in force. The safe-workplace statute had no COVID-19 content until the health authorities said what a safe site, shop and office required; the screened gate, the rotated shift and the quarantined crew were taken because those directives defined the duty and would not have been taken without them. "Due to" is but-for causation, and the causation here runs from the command to the measure without an intervening choice. The Notice's own words confirm it: a modification "required by a governmental order as a condition of reopening a physical space for business or service to the public" is a partial suspension due to the order. A statute that commands conduct is an order from an appropriate governmental authority; the Service's premise that no command reached the employer fails wherever one did, and one reached every employer in this industry on every day of the six quarters.

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

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

The statute contains no numerical threshold in the Suspension Clause; Congress wrote its thresholds into the gross-receipts prong alone, and "where Congress includes particular language in one section of a statute but omits it in another section of the same Act, it is generally presumed that Congress acts intentionally and purposely in the disparate inclusion or exclusion." The United States has told two courts what the ten percent figure is: "Effectively, this is a safe harbor ... Properly understood, it isn't an eligibility requirement. ... [I]t does not impose a threshold or place a limitation on receiving the credit"; "a quintessential safe harbor"; "a safe harbor rather than a hard floor"; and in Tri-State, "a method for the test to be met not as a requirement to meet the test." The District Court held the figure "not an exclusionary cut-off point." The Service's FAQ page nonetheless tells every taxpayer that "The IRS considers 'more than nominal' to be at least 10% of your business," and Chief Counsel's memorandum of October 18, 2023 tells examiners that an employer must "substantiate ... a reduction ... of not less than 10 percent to fall within the provisions of Notice 2021-20." The figure did not exist on April 29, 2020, when the Service's FAQs contained no nominal test and no percentage; the words "more than a nominal" first appeared on June 19, 2020, still without a percentage; and the two deeming rules first appeared in the Notice on March 1, 2021. Tri-State refused the United States' attempt "to conflate 'more than nominal' to suggest that it means 'significant,'" and held that a ten percent requirement "would read requirements into the statute that do not exist." This analysis treats the figure as what the United States says it is, a safe harbor, and holds the United States to that account; the showing for this industry, whose regulators recorded completion crews falling "from 25 to 1" and whose support-services employment fell by a third, exceeds the harbor many times over on any measure the Service has ever proposed (Ex. SEC-23-015; Ex. LAW-206; Ex. LAW-223). The United States cannot describe the figure as an optional safe harbor when the Notice is challenged and administer it as a floor when a claim is examined. It has said which it is. It is held to what it said.

Sentence 8: 8. Masks, gloves, spacing and screening

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

The statute has no nominal-effect requirement; a partial suspension is "a temporary delay, interruption, or termination of a portion an employer's business," and "portion" is not "significant." Q&A-18's categorical sentence that mask, glove and one-way-aisle mandates "will not result in more than a nominal effect" is a factual conclusion stated as a rule, with no record behind it, and it contradicts Q&A-18's own first paragraph, which lists face-covering requirements among the modifications "required by a governmental order as a condition of reopening a physical space for business." The sentence did not exist before March 1, 2021. The United States told the District Court that "employees having to wear face masks may impact business operations" and that mask and operational-hours orders "would also be considered." In this industry the modifications the orders compelled were not masks alone: a fourteen-day quarantine of every arriving crew (Ex. ND-021; Ex. TX-007; Ex. NM-024), lodging at twenty-five percent (Ex. NM-010), a protective plan filed with the State as a condition of operating (Ex. AK-021), a written prevention program with exclusion of exposed employees and outbreak testing (Ex. CA-024; Ex. VA-037; Ex. OR-041), four-hour case reporting (Ex. AGY-ST-LABOR-WORKPLACE-027), remote filing and rolled deadlines (Ex. SEC-23-001; Ex. SEC-23-003), a shut-in rule (Ex. SEC-23-008), a $5,000-per-violation COVID-Safe Practices mandate (Ex. NM-060), a vaccination deadline for every State contractor (Ex. WA-077). Where a face-covering order, one of the occupational-health and airborne-transmission controls the States imposed on every workplace, reached an H2S-rated respirator program, a confined-space entry, a hot-work permit or a twelve-hour tour at altitude, the question is causation, and the mandate caused the change. The Service's rule of thumb about store aisles has nothing to say about a rig floor.

Sentence 9: 9. Declarations of emergency

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

The statute asks whether an instrument from an appropriate governmental authority limited commerce, travel or group meetings; it does not ask what the instrument is called. A declaration that only declares is cited here as the predicate of the orders issued under it (Ex. FED-001; Ex. FED-006; Ex. FED-010; Ex. TX-038; Ex. NM-069; Ex. WV-001; Ex. WY-001; Ex. AZ-001; Ex. NV-001; Ex. CA-001; Ex. WA-001), and the orders are the instruments listed in the layers and quarters sections, each with its issuer, date, operative clause and end date. A proclamation or declaration that commands is an order whatever its caption. The Service's own Q&A-10 does not distinguish an order from a proclamation by its title: it lists "A State's emergency proclamation that residents must shelter in place" as a qualifying order. Louisiana's Proclamation 137 JBE 2021 is a proclamation and it required every person in the State, in every business, to wear a face covering indoors (Ex. LA-036); Washington's Proclamation 21-14 is a proclamation and it set a vaccination deadline for every State contractor (Ex. WA-077); Texas's GA-14 is an executive order and it defined the essential services of the largest producing State (Ex. TX-008). Hawaii's Emergency Proclamation of August 5, 2021 carried the Safe Travels quarantine and statewide face coverings (Ex. HI-024); Alaska's public health emergency of May 1, 2021 carried its health-care provisions (Ex. AK-030). An instrument is an order when it commands; the label is not the test, and the Service's own list says so.

Sentence 10: 10. Supply chain (AM 2023-005)

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

Chief Counsel's memorandum of June 30, 2023 "may not be used or cited as precedent" by its own terms, and Tri-State declined to follow a memorandum of the same kind for that reason. Its analysis converts Q&A-12 into "a narrow, limited exception," adds a requirement that the order "appl[y] to the employer's operations," adds an "alternate supplier" element and requires the employer to produce the supplier's order; none of those words is in Q&A-12, which says that an employer "may be considered to have a full or partial suspension of operations due to a governmental order" when its "suppliers are unable to make deliveries of critical goods or materials due to a governmental order that causes the supplier to suspend its operations." The United States told the Ninth Circuit that the supplier rule "never even mentions a 'physical[ ] clos[ure]' order against the supplier." Causation under the statute is but-for, and the Supreme Court has accepted that but-for causation "can be a sweeping standard" with "multiple but-for causes." The supplier orders in this record are, in any event, orders that closed or limited suppliers by name: Pennsylvania's and Michigan's manufacturing closures (Ex. PA-002; Ex. MI-011; Ex. MI-026), the land-border limits on every Canadian and Mexican component (Ex. FED-216; Ex. FED-239; Ex. FED-234; Ex. FED-257), the nonimmigrant suspension on every foreign technician (Ex. FED-211), the respirator allocation rule (Ex. FED-075; Ex. FED-078), and the customs rule that defined relief for importers whose operations were "fully or partially suspended ... due to orders from a competent governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings due to COVID-19" (Ex. AGY-USCG-PORTS-066). The Executive Branch wrote the Suspension Clause's words into a customs rule to describe the industry's importers. The Service's memorandum does not mention it.

Sentence 11: 11. Orders lifted before the quarter

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

The Service's ground for a later quarter is that the orders had lifted and that what remained was residue. Chief Counsel's memorandum of June 30, 2023 states it as "residual delays caused by a governmental order in place during a prior calendar quarter" that "will not constitute a governmental order in subsequent calendar quarters once the order has been lifted"; neither "residual" nor "lingering" is in the statute, and Chief Counsel's document "may not be used or cited as precedent." The clause asks whether the operation was "suspended during the calendar quarter due to orders," and "during the calendar quarter" modifies "suspended"; Congress did not write "orders in effect during the quarter." Tri-State defines suspension to include a "delay," and "due to" is but-for causation; the Notice's own Q&A-22 makes an employer suspended "during a portion of a calendar quarter" eligible "for the entire calendar quarter," and Q&A-16 treats the "adjustment period" after an order operates as "a partial suspension during that transition period." The interconnected economy section states the restoration arithmetic from the orders' own terms: fifteen months of lodging caps in New Mexico (Ex. NM-006; Ex. NM-060), about thirteen and a half months of Pennsylvania workplace and mitigation orders from the Worker Safety Order of April 19, 2020 to the mitigation orders' sunset of May 31, 2021 (Ex. PA-008; Ex. PA-031; Ex. PA-035; Ex. PA-036), every Texas deadline due on December 31, 2020 (Ex. SEC-23-007), the Bakken's rigs from fifty-five to thirty-five by July 17, 2020 (Ex. SEC-23-013; Ex. SEC-23-016). And the premise is wrong on its own terms: the orders had not lifted. The third-quarter inventory lists thirty-eight classes of instruments in force between July 1 and September 30, 2021, beginning with a federal order on every crew flight (Ex. FED-020) and every land border (Ex. FED-233), and including New Mexico's COVID-Safe Practices order from the quarter's first day (Ex. NM-060) and Louisiana's statewide face-covering order, the airborne-transmission control Proclamation 137 JBE 2021 placed on every person in every indoor workplace in the State, from August 4 (Ex. LA-036). The Service is free to call a continuing suspension by another name. It is not free to say that the orders that continued it did not exist.

Sentence 12: 12. Gross receipts

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

The gross-receipts prong is not relied on. The Suspension Clause and the gross-receipts clause are alternative routes to eligibility, joined by "or," and each is complete in itself. Tri-State held that the gross-receipts test is "by Defendant's admission, another method to qualify" and that "the fact an employer can be eligible and affected without partial or full suspension is reasonable"; the United States' argument that the gross-receipts prong shows the suspension prong is narrow was found "contradictory." Congress placed its numerical thresholds in the gross-receipts prong alone and wrote none into the Suspension Clause. An employer in this industry whose crews flew under the federal conveyance face-covering order, the airborne-transmission control on every crew flight, whose Permian lodging stood capped to June 30, 2021 and whose New Mexico sites operated under a $5,000-per-violation order was partially suspended by those orders whatever its receipts; the Suspension Clause asks about the operation, not the ledger. A ground that answers a prong the employer did not claim answers nothing.

Sentence 13: 13. Guidance, not orders

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

This analysis treats no guidance as an order. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's critical-infrastructure list (Ex. FED-394; Ex. ECO-A-122), the Environmental Protection Agency's enforcement policy (Ex. AGY-FED-LANDS-SCIENCE-COURTS-003), the Coast Guard's bulletins (Ex. AGY-USCG-PORTS-007; Ex. AGY-USCG-PORTS-037), the Energy Information Administration's outlook (Ex. SEC-23-024), the Industrial Commission's Director's Cuts (Ex. SEC-23-013), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's policy statements and docket notices (Ex. SEC-23-017; Ex. SEC-23-019; Ex. SEC-23-020; Ex. SEC-23-021; Ex. SEC-23-022; Ex. SEC-23-023) and the Industrial Commission's releases (Ex. SEC-23-028; Ex. SEC-23-029), each the regulator's own record of an order it issued or a regime it administered, are cited as context and as evidence of the regime the orders created, and the orders that created it are named beside them. The instruments treated as orders command: "Every person who enters the State of Texas through roadways from Louisiana ... shall be subject to mandatory self-quarantine for a period of 14 days" (Ex. TX-007); "any person who enters North Dakota traveling from another state or country ... is subject to immediate quarantine for a period of fourteen (14) days" (Ex. ND-021); "workers arriving in Alaska from out of state must self-quarantine for 14 days" (Ex. AK-021); "Unless impossible, all businesses must conduct their operations remotely" (Ex. PA-022); "the construction, mining, manufacturing, and infrastructure sector labor force may continue operations, but shall maintain strict social distancing practices" (Ex. NV-004); a civil penalty of $5,000 per violation (Ex. NM-060); "This Order takes effect at 11:59 p.m. Monday February 1, 2021" (Ex. FED-020). The Service's Q&A-10 qualifies orders "without regard to the level of enforcement," and the State occupational-safety rules in this record are enforced by citation and fine (Ex. CA-024; Ex. VA-037; Ex. OR-041; Ex. AGY-ST-LABOR-WORKPLACE-054). Where the Service's own instruments are concerned, the label cuts the other way: the FAQs on which the Service's positions rest said of themselves that they "may not be relied upon as legal authority," and the United States has told two courts that the Notice that incorporated them "lacks the force of law." This analysis cites those FAQs for one purpose only: as the Service's own dated record of what its positions were on April 29, 2020 and of when each later gloss was added. The recommendations in this record are the Service's. The orders are the governors', the health officers', the regulators' and the President's.

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

"Order" must be given its ordinary meaning.

Agreed. An order is "An authoritative indication to be obeyed; a command or direction." Applied to the instruments in this record, the ordinary meaning yields the following. Executive Order GA-14, which ordered every person in Texas to minimize in-person contact and defined the essential services (Ex. TX-008): an order. Confinement Order 2020-02.1, which quarantined every person entering North Dakota (Ex. ND-021): an order. The Public Health Emergency Order of March 23, 2020, which capped every New Mexico hotel at fifty percent (Ex. NM-006): an order. The Order of the Governor Regarding the Closure of All Businesses That Are Not Life Sustaining, with its list marking the mines "No" (Ex. PA-002; Ex. PA-004): an order. Directive 003, under which the mining labor force "may continue operations, but shall maintain strict social distancing practices" (Ex. NV-004): an order. Emergency rule 19.2.100.71 NMAC, which set the terms of every State-lease shut-in (Ex. SEC-23-008): an order. The Notice to Oil and Gas Operators of April 3, 2020, which extended every Oil and Gas Division deadline and deferred every plugging and P-5 obligation (Ex. SEC-23-003): an order. Order No. 870 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ex. SEC-23-018): an order by name. The Requirement for Persons To Wear Masks While on Conveyances and at Transportation Hubs, which "takes effect at 11:59 p.m. Monday February 1, 2021" (Ex. FED-020): an order. Security Directive 1582/84-21-01A (Ex. FED-051): an order. The Notification of Temporary Travel Restrictions at every land port of entry (Ex. FED-232): an order. Proclamation 137 JBE 2021, requiring every person in Louisiana to wear a face covering indoors (Ex. LA-036): an order. Directive 047 (Ex. NV-041): an order. The Public Health Emergency Order of June 30, 2021, binding every New Mexico business to COVID-Safe Practices under a $5,000 penalty (Ex. NM-060): an order. Public Health Emergency Order No. 2021-013 of the Navajo Nation (Ex. AZ-079): an order. Executive Order 14042 (Ex. FED-063): an order. The Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standard, enforced by citation (Ex. CA-024): an order. Proclamation 21-14 (Ex. WA-077): an order. Each was an authoritative indication to be obeyed, issued by the authority with power over the commerce, travel or meetings it limited, and each limited them. The ordinary meaning of "order" is the meaning this analysis applies, and it reaches every instrument in the quarter inventories above.

The Service is free to disagree about the weight of these instruments. It is not free to say they did not exist.

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.
