1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State Pennsylvania and metropolitan area Philadelphia. 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?state=PA&metro=PHL&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. 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.

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.... CMS urges healthcare facilities and clinicians to consider the following tiered approach to curtailing non-emergent, elective medical services and treatment.

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.

Temporary Waiver of Rule for Funeral Home Directors During Coronavirus Emergency. Summary: Federal guidelines advise social distancing that includes restricting public gatherings, including funerals, to no more than 10 people due to the coronavirus outbreak. This is making it difficult for funeral directors to accommodate a grieving family's needs while still meeting federal and state guidance regarding social distancing.

Under the Governor's and Secretary of Health's orders regarding the 'Closure of All Businesses That Are Not Life Sustaining,' amended as of April 20, 2020, online vehicle sales are authorized to commence statewide in accordance with this guidance. Automobile and other motor vehicle dealers were not permitted to continue physical operations under the Governor's and Secretary of Health's March 19, 2020, Business Closure Orders. Dealers generally could not complete 'online' or internet-based sales as the vehicle buying process traditionally requires certain in-person interactions, often with multiple individuals and live notarization. Senate Bill 841, which was signed into law by the Governor on April 20, 2020, allows for, among other things, remote notarization.

Pennsylvania Waives Certain Requirements for Cosmetologists and Barbers During COVID-19 Emergency. A number of practical ramifications have arisen as a result of the COVID-19 emergency that may make it difficult for licensees and other parties to transact business with the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs (BPOA). Paying licensing fees may become challenging for someone whose place of employment is closed or who has been laid off and has no alternate sources of income. Many people may be unable to leave their residences because of a 'shelter-in place' order from the government, self-isolation/quarantine, or simply because they do not feel it is safe.

The Department of State requested and received a temporary limited suspension of the Pennsylvania statute which requires physical presence of notaries for all notarial acts relating to a statement or signature on a record.... Yet, it is increasingly difficult for attorneys to meet with their clients. Many seniors, and particularly those with medical conditions, are obeying the president and the governor and are limiting exposure to other people. Some clients are in nursing homes where no visitors are allowed.

This exercise of discretion applies to telehealth provided for any reason, regardless of whether the telehealth service is related to the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions related to COVID-19.

End of general restrictions, State of Pennsylvania: Amendments of May 13, 2021 to the Nov. 23, 2020 Orders for Mitigation and Enforcement (Acting Secretary, PA-036) and for Mitigation, Enforcement, and Immunity Protections (Governor, PA-035), effective May 17, 2021, providing that the orders 'shall remain in effect until 12:01 a.m. on May 31, 2021'; the Updated Order Requiring Universal Face Coverings was then terminated by the Acting Secretary effective 12:01 a.m. June 28, 2021 (PA-100); the disaster emergency itself was terminated by H.R. 106 on June 10, 2021 (PA-039) (2021-05-31 (capacity, gathering, telework, workplace and alcohol rules); 2021-06-10 (disaster emergency); 2021-06-28 (universal face coverings)). What remained: Act 21 of 2021's extension of every COVID-19 regulatory suspension to Sept. 30, 2021 (PA-040) and Act 73's further extension of the Department of Health, Department of Human Services and licensing-board suspensions to Mar. 31, 2022 (PA-043); the Secretary of Health's disease-control orders resting on the Disease Prevention and Control Law rather than the emergency: the elective-procedures reduction order to Aug. 23, 2021 (PA-025, PA-101), the hospital daily-reporting order as amended Aug. 13, 2021 (PA-041, PA-044), the nursing-facility weekly-reporting order (PA-038), the vaccine-provider order (PA-029, PA-034), and the Health Alert Network directives on infection control and work exclusion in every health care setting (PA-046, PA-047, PA-048, PA-118); the school and child-care face-covering order from Sept. 7, 2021 (PA-042); the Commonwealth-employee vaccinate-or-test policy from Sept. 7, 2021 (PA-108); Department of State licensing waivers expiring in tranches Aug. 17, Aug. 31, Sept. 15 and Sept. 30, 2021 (PA-091 to PA-098 notes); the UC work-search reinstatement of July 18, 2021 (PA-107); local orders of Philadelphia and Allegheny County; and the federal layer.

Preemption of local orders, State of Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania did not preempt or bar local COVID-19 orders at any time in 2020-2021. Philadelphia (a first-class city with its own Board of Health and Health Code) and Allegheny County (a county health department under the Local Health Administration Law) issued their own stricter orders throughout the period, and the Commonwealth's instruments accommodated them: the Green Phase amendment of June 25, 2020 (PA-014) moved Philadelphia to green while the City kept its own restrictions to July 3; the Dec. 10, 2020 Limited-Time Targeted Mitigation Order provides in Section 12 ('Authority of Local Departments and Boards of Health') that 'Local governments and authorities may issue rules or orders relating to disease prevention and control, which do not conflict with and are no less strict than the provisions of this Order' (PA-028); the Nov. 23, 2020 orders defer to 'the Department or the local health department' for quarantine and isolation directions (PA-022 § 1(B)(iv)). The only curtailment of emergency power was of the Governor's: the constitutional amendments adopted May 18, 2021 (Pa. Const. art. III, § 9; art. IV, § 20(c)) limited a disaster emergency to 21 days without General Assembly extension and allowed termination by concurrent resolution, which the General Assembly exercised on June 10, 2021 (PA-039); the Secretary of Health's independent disease-control authority (35 P.S. § 521.5; 71 P.S. § 532(a)) was untouched, which is why the mask order outlived the emergency and the school mask order issued in August 2021 (until the courts held in Nov.-Dec. 2021 that it required rulemaking, PA-045). Counties without health departments (all but Philadelphia, Allegheny, Bucks, Chester, Montgomery, Erie and a few others) had no independent order-making power and operated under the Commonwealth's orders alone.

End of general restrictions, State of Pennsylvania: Amendments of May 13, 2021 to the Nov. 23, 2020 Orders for Mitigation and Enforcement (Acting Secretary, PA-036) and for Mitigation, Enforcement, and Immunity Protections (Governor, PA-035), effective May 17, 2021, providing that the orders 'shall remain in effect until 12:01 a.m. on May 31, 2021'; the Updated Order Requiring Universal Face Coverings was then terminated by the Acting Secretary effective 12:01 a.m. June 28, 2021 (PA-100); the disaster emergency itself was terminated by H.R. 106 on June 10, 2021 (PA-039) (2021-05-31 (capacity, gathering, telework, workplace and alcohol rules); 2021-06-10 (disaster emergency); 2021-06-28 (universal face coverings)). What remained: Act 21 of 2021's extension of every COVID-19 regulatory suspension to Sept. 30, 2021 (PA-040) and Act 73's further extension of the Department of Health, Department of Human Services and licensing-board suspensions to Mar. 31, 2022 (PA-043); the Secretary of Health's disease-control orders resting on the Disease Prevention and Control Law rather than the emergency: the elective-procedures reduction order to Aug. 23, 2021 (PA-025, PA-101), the hospital daily-reporting order as amended Aug. 13, 2021 (PA-041, PA-044), the nursing-facility weekly-reporting order (PA-038), the vaccine-provider order (PA-029, PA-034), and the Health Alert Network directives on infection control and work exclusion in every health care setting (PA-046, PA-047, PA-048, PA-118); the school and child-care face-covering order from Sept. 7, 2021 (PA-042); the Commonwealth-employee vaccinate-or-test policy from Sept. 7, 2021 (PA-108); Department of State licensing waivers expiring in tranches Aug. 17, Aug. 31, Sept. 15 and Sept. 30, 2021 (PA-091 to PA-098 notes); the UC work-search reinstatement of July 18, 2021 (PA-107); local orders of Philadelphia and Allegheny County; and the federal layer.

Preemption of local orders, State of Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania did not preempt or bar local COVID-19 orders at any time in 2020-2021. Philadelphia (a first-class city with its own Board of Health and Health Code) and Allegheny County (a county health department under the Local Health Administration Law) issued their own stricter orders throughout the period, and the Commonwealth's instruments accommodated them: the Green Phase amendment of June 25, 2020 (PA-014) moved Philadelphia to green while the City kept its own restrictions to July 3; the Dec. 10, 2020 Limited-Time Targeted Mitigation Order provides in Section 12 ('Authority of Local Departments and Boards of Health') that 'Local governments and authorities may issue rules or orders relating to disease prevention and control, which do not conflict with and are no less strict than the provisions of this Order' (PA-028); the Nov. 23, 2020 orders defer to 'the Department or the local health department' for quarantine and isolation directions (PA-022 § 1(B)(iv)). The only curtailment of emergency power was of the Governor's: the constitutional amendments adopted May 18, 2021 (Pa. Const. art. III, § 9; art. IV, § 20(c)) limited a disaster emergency to 21 days without General Assembly extension and allowed termination by concurrent resolution, which the General Assembly exercised on June 10, 2021 (PA-039); the Secretary of Health's independent disease-control authority (35 P.S. § 521.5; 71 P.S. § 532(a)) was untouched, which is why the mask order outlived the emergency and the school mask order issued in August 2021 (until the courts held in Nov.-Dec. 2021 that it required rulemaking, PA-045). Counties without health departments (all but Philadelphia, Allegheny, Bucks, Chester, Montgomery, Erie and a few others) had no independent order-making power and operated under the Commonwealth's orders alone.

What remained: Act 21 of 2021's extension of every COVID-19 regulatory suspension to Sept. 30, 2021 (PA-040) and Act 73's further extension of the Department of Health, Department of Human Services and licensing-board suspensions to Mar. 31, 2022 (PA-043); the Secretary of Health's disease-control orders resting on the Disease Prevention and Control Law rather than the emergency: the elective-procedures reduction order to Aug. 23, 2021 (PA-025, PA-101), the hospital daily-reporting order as amended Aug. 13, 2021 (PA-041, PA-044), the nursing-facility weekly-reporting order (PA-038), the vaccine-provider order (PA-029, PA-034), and the Health Alert Network directives on infection control and work exclusion in every health care setting (PA-046, PA-047, PA-048, PA-118); the school and child-care face-covering order from Sept. 7, 2021 (PA-042); the Commonwealth-employee vaccinate-or-test policy from Sept. 7, 2021 (PA-108); Department of State licensing waivers expiring in tranches Aug. 17, Aug. 31, Sept. 15 and Sept. 30, 2021 (PA-091 to PA-098 notes); the UC work-search reinstatement of July 18, 2021 (PA-107); local orders of Philadelphia and Allegheny County; and the federal layer.

Preemption of local orders, State of Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania did not preempt or bar local COVID-19 orders at any time in 2020-2021. Philadelphia (a first-class city with its own Board of Health and Health Code) and Allegheny County (a county health department under the Local Health Administration Law) issued their own stricter orders throughout the period, and the Commonwealth's instruments accommodated them: the Green Phase amendment of June 25, 2020 (PA-014) moved Philadelphia to green while the City kept its own restrictions to July 3; the Dec. 10, 2020 Limited-Time Targeted Mitigation Order provides in Section 12 ('Authority of Local Departments and Boards of Health') that 'Local governments and authorities may issue rules or orders relating to disease prevention and control, which do not conflict with and are no less strict than the provisions of this Order' (PA-028); the Nov. 23, 2020 orders defer to 'the Department or the local health department' for quarantine and isolation directions (PA-022 § 1(B)(iv)). The only curtailment of emergency power was of the Governor's: the constitutional amendments adopted May 18, 2021 (Pa. Const. art. III, § 9; art. IV, § 20(c)) limited a disaster emergency to 21 days without General Assembly extension and allowed termination by concurrent resolution, which the General Assembly exercised on June 10, 2021 (PA-039); the Secretary of Health's independent disease-control authority (35 P.S. § 521.5; 71 P.S. § 532(a)) was untouched, which is why the mask order outlived the emergency and the school mask order issued in August 2021 (until the courts held in Nov.-Dec. 2021 that it required rulemaking, PA-045). Counties without health departments (all but Philadelphia, Allegheny, Bucks, Chester, Montgomery, Erie and a few others) had no independent order-making power and operated under the Commonwealth's orders alone.

End of general restrictions, Philadelphia: City of Philadelphia, Emergency Order Establishing Safety Measures for Full Reopening (June 15, 2021), Sections 1 and 2 retroactive to June 10, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. (Ex. MET-PHL-018); Commonwealth mitigation orders expired May 31, 2021 and the Commonwealth face-covering order was lifted June 28, 2021 (State instruments, cited by name) (2021-06-10 (11:59 p.m.) for capacity, density, gathering and general indoor-mask rules in the City; 2021-05-31 for the Commonwealth's mitigation orders; 2021-06-28 for the Commonwealth's mask order). What remained: In the City through September 30, 2021 and beyond: the Full Reopening Order and the Board's Second Consolidated and Restated Supplemental Emergency Regulation (July 16, 2021): masks regardless of vaccination status at healthcare institutions, congregate facilities, schools, camps and child care and on all public transportation; a business duty to identify close contacts and report them to the Department on request; a business duty to keep infected workers and unvaccinated close contacts out of any in-person workplace during isolation and quarantine; owner liability for occupants' non-compliance; inspection as a condition of operation; the April 29, 2020 fines regulation; the Health Commissioner's separate Mandatory Data Reporting Orders and the Long-Term Care Isolation Safety and Transfer regulation. From August 12, 2021: masks in any indoor setting and at large outdoor events. From August 16, 2021: the healthcare-worker and higher-education vaccination regulation. From September 1, 2021: City employees vaccinated or double-masked (City release). From September 14, 2021: contractor and vendor staff vaccination-list, proof and double-masking requirements. Courts: the First Judicial District's eviction moratorium through October 3, 2021 and its sheriff-sale stay to September 2021; the Judicial Emergency order of September 24, 2021. Transit: the federal conveyance mask order and TSA directives as implemented by SEPTA and PATCO, and the City's own transit-mask clause.

Preemption of local orders, Philadelphia: Pennsylvania: no statute or executive order barred local COVID-19 orders at any time in the period. Philadelphia acted under its own home-rule health powers (Philadelphia Home Rule Charter section 8-407; Philadelphia Code sections 6-205 and 6-206; the Disease Prevention and Control Law of 1955, 35 P.S. section 521.1 et seq.), and the four suburban counties acted under the Emergency Management Services Code (35 Pa.C.S. section 7501) and, for Montgomery, Bucks and Chester Counties, their county health departments' authority under the Local Health Administration Law and the Disease Prevention and Control Law (Delaware County had no health department until April 2, 2022 and was served by the Chester County Health Department under an intergovernmental agreement from March 18, 2020 through July 31, 2021, then by the Pennsylvania Department of Health). The General Assembly's H.R. 106 (June 10, 2021) terminated the Governor's disaster-emergency proclamation and Act 21 of 2021 (Act of June 11, 2021, P.L. 56, No. 21) continued regulatory suspensions to September 30, 2021; neither instrument touched Philadelphia's orders and regulations, which continued unbroken. The Montgomery County Board of Health's November 13, 2020 school order survived a parents' motion for an injunction in the Court of Common Pleas (press report). New Jersey: Governor Murphy's Executive Order No. 108 (March 21, 2020, effective 9:00 p.m. that day) 'invalidated' every 'county or municipal restriction imposed in response to COVID-19 that in any way will or might conflict with any of the provisions of Executive Order No. 107 (2020), or which will or might in any way interfere with or impede its achievement', listing as examples 'Any additions to or deletions from the list of retail businesses that I have deemed essential', 'Any limitations imposed on any business's scope of service or hours of operation', 'Any density or social distancing requirements', 'Any orders relating to the gathering of individuals' and 'general restrictions on the freedom of movement within that county or municipality, including but not limited to the imposition of curfews', and directed that 'No municipality, county, or any other agency or political subdivision of this State shall enact or enforce any order, rule, regulation, ordinance, or resolution' that conflicts with or impedes Executive Order No. 107, excepting only 'Online marketplaces for arranging or offering lodging' and 'Municipal or county parks', with penalties under N.J.S.A. App. A:9-49 and -50. Camden County's own March 14, 2020 proclamation had already provided that 'public health orders, as given by the State of New Jersey shall supersede any and all orders previously given by the County of Camden' (Ex. MET-PHL-079). From March 21, 2020, therefore, the business, gathering and movement restrictions operating in Camden County were the State's Executive Orders (Nos. 107, 122, 125, 142 to 157, 192, 242, 243, 244, 251, 252, 253 and 264 among them), cited by name and date; the county's own instruments governed county operations, facilities and employees.

5. Standing duties in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's pandemic law rested on four standing statutes and one regulation, each older than the pandemic and each in force in every one of the six quarters. First, the Emergency Management Services Code, 35 Pa.C.S. sec. 7301, made the Governor 'responsible for meeting the dangers to this Commonwealth and people presented by disasters,' gave his 'executive orders, proclamations and regulations... the force and effect of law,' and authorized him to control 'the movement of persons within the area and the occupancy of premises therein' (Ex. DUT-PA-003); every business closure, stay-at-home, reopening and mitigation order in States/PA recites sec. 7301, and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held on April 13, 2020 that the March 19 closure order was a valid exercise of the police power under it (Ex. DUT-PA-020). Second, the Disease Prevention and Control Law of 1955 commanded that on report of a disease subject to control measures the Department of Health 'shall carry out the appropriate control measures,' authorized rules on 'the enforcement of isolation quarantine and other control measures,' and made any person who violates the act or a regulation liable to a fine of $25 to $300 and thirty days' imprisonment in default (Ex. DUT-PA-001); its regulation, 28 Pa. Code sec. 27.60, directed the Department and every local health authority to impose 'any other disease control measure... necessary to protect the public from the spread of infectious agents' (Ex. DUT-PA-005), with the penalty restated at 28 Pa. Code sec. 27.8 (Ex. DUT-PA-009). Third, the Administrative Code of 1929 and the Department of Health Act of 1905 imposed on the Department the duty 'to determine and employ the most efficient and practical means for the prevention and suppression of disease,' to 'establish and enforce quarantines' and to abate nuisances on premises whose owner or occupant 'fails to comply with any order of the department' (Exs. DUT-PA-002, DUT-PA-019, DUT-PA-007), and section 16 of the 1905 Act (71 P.S. sec. 1409) made 'every person who violates any order or regulation of the Department of Health' guilty of a summary offense (Ex. DUT-PA-007). The Commonwealth's enforcement guidance to every police department and District Attorney, issued between March 19 and March 23, 2020, designated 71 P.S. sec. 1409 and 35 P.S. sec. 521.20(a) as the citation provisions for violations of the orders and 18 Pa.C.S. sec. 5101 for 'more serious violators' (Ex. DUT-PA-010). Fourth, the General Safety Law of 1937 bound every 'room, building or place within this Commonwealth where persons are employed' to be 'operated, and conducted as to provide reasonable and adequate protection for the life, limb, health, safety, and morals of all persons employed therein,' enforced by the Department of Labor and Industry with summary penalties (Ex. DUT-PA-006); Pennsylvania is a federal-OSHA State, and the OSH Act general duty clause, 29 U.S.C. sec. 654(a)(1), already in the library as DUT-AL-009, DUT-AR-011 and DUT-CO-009, ran beside it. For businesses that serve food, the Retail Food Facility Safety Act forbade any proprietor to 'allow any food employee to be in a retail food facility if that person has an infectious or communicable disease,' required every facility to be 'kept in a clean and sanitary condition,' and punished violations of 'any... order made under this subchapter' with summary fines and civil penalties to $10,000 per offense (Exs. DUT-PA-013, DUT-PA-016, DUT-PA-017); the Food Code made retention of the license conditional on compliance with the Department's 'orders, warnings and other directives... in response to community emergencies' (Ex. DUT-PA-014); and the Liquor Code let the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement cite any licensee for 'any violation of... any laws of this Commonwealth' or 'any other sufficient cause,' with fines and suspension (Ex. DUT-PA-018). The emergency orders filled these vessels with COVID-19 content. The March 19, 2020 closure order let life-sustaining businesses stay open only if they 'follow, at a minimum, the social distancing practices and other mitigation measures defined by the Centers for Disease Control to protect workers and patrons' (PA-002); the April 15, 2020 Worker Safety Order commanded that every business with in-person operations 'shall implement' cleaning, screening, distancing, masking and 50 percent occupancy protocols, with the Department's FAQ stating that employers 'are required to provide masks' and that 'all businesses are ordered to wait a minimum of 24 hours' before cleaning an exposed area (PA-008; Ex. DUT-PA-008); the Yellow and Green Phase Orders and the July 15 and November 23, 2020 mitigation orders let any business conduct in-person operations only 'provided that the businesses fully comply with all substantive aspects of' the Building and Worker Safety Orders 'and all existing and future applicable guidance' of the Administration, the Department and the CDC (PA-010, PA-011, PA-016, PA-023), and made telework compulsory 'unless not possible' (July 16, 2020) and 'unless impossible' (November 27, 2020 to April 3, 2021); the November 17, 2020 face-covering order required every business to 'require that all people, including their employees, customers... wear a face covering and take reasonable steps to enforce the requirement' (PA-020); the Governor's FAQ of October 6, 2020 answered 'Does an Order mean mandatory? Is this a law?' with 'Yes, it is mandatory' (Ex. DUT-PA-015); and the November 23, 2020 order wrote a graduated enforcement scheme for retail establishments and restaurants (warning letter; citation, fine and closure up to 24 hours on a second violation; closure of at least 24 hours, fines and referral for prosecution under 18 Pa.C.S. sec. 5101 thereafter) (PA-023 sec. 13). Pennsylvania enacted no general COVID-19 liability shield: the General Assembly passed House Bill 1737, whose safe harbor turned on an 'act or omission in compliance with... public health directives' (Ex. DUT-PA-012), and the Governor vetoed it on November 30, 2020 because 'providing immunity for a business that does not rigorously comply with public health orders does not ensure the safety of the public' (Ex. DUT-PA-011); the only executive immunity for businesses, section 14 of the November 23, 2020 order, ran 'only as related to enforcement of the Secretary of Health's Updated Order Requiring Universal Face Coverings' and 'shall not apply to liability of employers with respect to their employees' (PA-023). Recorded exactly: the orders' operating conditions use 'shall,' 'must' and 'are required'; the Green Phase Order's telework clause and the Worker Safety Order's return-to-work clause use 'strongly encouraged' and 'should' and are recorded as recommendations that became compulsory only through the incorporating clause ('fully comply with all substantive aspects of... all existing and future applicable guidance'); 35 Pa.C.S. sec. 7707 penalizes violations of the Emergency Management Council's 'plans and programs,' not the Governor's orders as such, and the Commonwealth accordingly charged violations under the health statutes.

The phase question

Whether the measures Pennsylvania employers took that the Service calls 'beyond' the closure and stay-at-home orders were 'voluntary' in the sense of Notice 2021-20 Q&A-14 (a suspension or reduction 'not due to a governmental order'). Answer: they were not. From March 19, 2020 to May 31, 2021 every business that kept any in-person operation in Pennsylvania did so only on the conditions the Governor's and the Secretary of Health's orders attached ('must follow, at a minimum, the social distancing practices and other mitigation measures defined by the Centers for Disease Control,' PA-002 sec. 1; 'shall implement... the following social distancing, mitigation, and cleaning protocols,' PA-008 para. A; 'provided that the businesses fully comply with all substantive aspects of... all existing and future applicable guidance issued by my Administration, the Department of Health (DOH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),' PA-011 sec. 1(B); 'Unless impossible, all businesses must conduct their operations remotely,' PA-023 sec. 1(A)); those orders had 'the force and effect of law' under 35 Pa.C.S. sec. 7301(b) (Ex. DUT-PA-003), as the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held on April 13, 2020 (Ex. DUT-PA-020); every person who violated 'any order or regulation of the Department of Health' committed a summary offense under 71 P.S. sec. 1409 (Ex. DUT-PA-007) and 35 P.S. sec. 521.20 (Ex. DUT-PA-001), the two provisions the Commonwealth designated for citations (Ex. DUT-PA-010); throughout all six quarters the General Safety Law bound every establishment to be 'operated, and conducted as to provide reasonable and adequate protection for the life, limb, health, safety, and morals of all persons employed therein' (Ex. DUT-PA-006), the Department of Health held the statutory duty 'to determine and employ the most efficient and practical means for the prevention and suppression of disease' (Exs. DUT-PA-002, DUT-PA-007, DUT-PA-019) and the regulatory command to 'direct... any other disease control measure... necessary to protect the public from the spread of infectious agents' (Ex. DUT-PA-005), and every retail food facility operator held its license only on condition that it 'comply with directives of the Department or licensor... in response to community emergencies' (Ex. DUT-PA-014); and the Commonwealth enacted no general liability shield because, in the Governor's words on vetoing House Bill 1737, 'we should not be providing protection for noncompliance or carelessness' with 'public health orders' (Ex. DUT-PA-011).

A.3. When may an ADA-covered employer take the body temperature of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic? Generally, measuring an employee's body temperature is a medical examination. Because the CDC and state/local health authorities have acknowledged community spread of COVID-19 and issued attendant precautions, employers may measure employees' body temperature.... an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of others. Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace... An employer may require employees to wear protective gear (for example, masks and gloves) and observe infection control practices (for example, regular hand washing and social distancing protocols).

CDC's Critical Infrastructure Guidance advises that critical infrastructure workers may be permitted to continue work following potential exposure to COVID-19, provided they remain asymptomatic and additional precautions are implemented to protect them and the community. All meat and poultry processing facilities developing plans for continuing operations in the setting of COVID-19 occurring among workers or in the surrounding community should (1) work directly with appropriate state and local public health officials and occupational safety and health professionals; (2) incorporate relevant aspects of CDC guidance, including but not limited to this document and the CDC's Critical Infrastructure Guidance; and (3) incorporate guidance from other authoritative sources or regulatory bodies as needed.

Applying this standard to the current circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, employers may take screening steps to determine if employees entering the workplace have COVID-19 because an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of others. Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace and/or periodically to determine if their presence in the workplace poses a direct threat to others.... An employer may exclude those with COVID-19, or symptoms associated with COVID-19, from the workplace because, as EEOC has stated, their presence would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others.

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

This section applies the five-step test of section 3 to a business in Pennsylvania 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 320 instruments in force for this selection: 53 instruments from the State of Pennsylvania (Governor Tom Wolf (with companion Order of the Secretary of Health), Order of the Governor for Limited Opening of Businesses, Lifting of Stay at Home Requirements, and Continued Aggressive Mitigation Efforts (Yellow Phase Order) (May 7, 2020), sec. 1 (Ex. PA-010); Governor Tom Wolf, Amendment to the Yellow Phase Order adding Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton and Philadelphia Counties (June 4, 2020) (Ex. PA-013); Governor Tom Wolf, Order of the Governor for Individuals to Stay at Home (Allegheny, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Monroe, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties) (Mar. 23, 2020) (Ex. PA-005); and 50 more), 33 instruments from Philadelphia (Mayor James F. Kenney and Health Commissioner Thomas A. Farley, MD, MPH; adopted by the Board of Health as an emergency regulation Mar. 26, 2020 (effective Mar. 27, 2020), Emergency Order No. 2 (Business Activity and Stay at Home Order) (Mar. 22, 2020) (Ex. MET-PHL-003); Camden County Board of Chosen Freeholders (Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr.), Release: Freeholder Board Declares State of Emergency in Camden County (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. MET-PHL-066); Camden County Board of Chosen Freeholders (Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr.), Amended and reissued state of emergency declaration (playgrounds; self-service food and beverage) (Mar. 18, 2020) (Ex. MET-PHL-067); and 30 more), 12 instruments from the agencies, boards and authorities of Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (Executive Director Kevin O'Toole), COVID-19 Casino Reopening Protocols (May 19, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-025); Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (Secretary John E. Wetzel), PA DOC COVID-19 page (as archived Mar. 21, 2020), with the Mar. 13, 2020 release 'Department of Corrections Cancels Visits Statewide, Begins Enhanced Screenings of ALL Employees' (Ex. AGY-ST-CORRECTIONS-EMA-GUARD-013); Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Acting Secretary Yassmin Gramian, PennDOT 'Coronavirus Statewide' operations page, updated 10:00 a.m. Mar. 30, 2020: all Driver License and Photo License Centers closed from close of business Mar. 16, 2020 until further notice; driver licenses, photo IDs, learner's permits, CDLs, registrations, safety and emissions inspections and disability placards expiring Mar. 16-Apr. 30, 2020 extended to May 31, 2020; CDL downgrades for expired medical certificates paused under FMCSA waivers; driver exams through Apr. 3 cancelled; all district and county maintenance offices closed for two weeks; 'construction projects have been suspended in all counties until further notice'; rest areas and welcome centers closed statewide from 12:01 a.m. Mar. 17 with a list of reopened locations; motorcycle training clinics postponed; REAL ID issuance paused; Acting Secretary's order accepting electronic administrative-appeal filings (Ex. AGY-ST-TRANSPORT-PORTS-TRANSIT-100); and 9 more), 179 federal instruments (The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Guidelines for Opening Up America Again (Apr. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-192); 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); 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); and 176 more) and 43 standing duties (Congress (Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, § 5, Pub. L. 91-596, 84 Stat. 1593), 29 U.S.C. 654 (OSH Act § 5, the general duty clause) (standing) (Ex. DUT-FED-001); Congress (OSH Act § 11(c)), 29 U.S.C. 660(c) (OSH Act § 11(c), anti-retaliation) (standing) (Ex. DUT-FED-002); and 41 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, in the Library's own labels: CB (Ex. PA-051); WF (Ex. PA-051); CT (Ex. MET-PHL-047); BA (Ex. PA-082); JS (Ex. PA-003); PM (Ex. MET-PHL-024); TRAV (Ex. PA-051); DR (Ex. PA-082); GATH (Ex. PA-051); OF (Ex. MET-PHL-068).

Step three, the change compelled. Mayor James F. Kenney and Health Commissioner Thomas A. Farley, MD, MPH; adopted by the Board of Health as an emergency regulation Mar. 26, 2020 (effective Mar. 27, 2020), Emergency Order No. 2 (Business Activity and Stay at Home Order) (Mar. 22, 2020) (Ex. MET-PHL-003) ordered: "Section 1.... A. No person or entity shall operate a non-essential place of business. This prohibition does not apply to virtual or remote operations (e.g., work from home). B. Essential Businesses may operate during the term of this Order and must observe the Social Distancing Rules of 4....…" Enforcement: Orders to cease operations; from Apr. 30, 2020 fines up to $2,000 per violation for businesses and $500 for individuals under the Board of Health fines… Governor Tom Wolf (with companion Order of the Secretary of Health), Order of the Governor for Limited Opening of Businesses, Lifting of Stay at Home Requirements, and Continued Aggressive Mitigation Efforts (Yellow Phase Order) (May 7, 2020), sec. 1 (Ex. PA-010) ordered: "[Businesses]... authorized to commence in-person operations as outlined below, provided that the businesses fully comply with all substantive aspects of: the Order of the Secretary of Health providing for building safety measures, issued April 5, 2020; the Order of the Secretary of Health providing…" Enforcement: 35 Pa.C.S. § 7301(b); Disease Prevention and Control Law; conditions of PA-007 and PA-008 incorporated Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (Executive Director Kevin O'Toole), COVID-19 Casino Reopening Protocols (May 19, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-025) ordered: "Pennsylvania's twelve operating casinos closed in Mid-March 2020 due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic... the protocols and restrictions contained herein reflect the minimum requirements required to be fulfilled prior to re-opening the casino for gaming operations... Casinos shall promote…" Enforcement: Board approval required before reopening; Pandemic Safety Officer reporting to the Board's Director of Casino Compliance; 4 Pa.C.S. §§ 1202(b), 1518 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. Emergency Order No. 2 (Business Activity and Stay at Home Order) (Ex. MET-PHL-003) was in force from Mar. 23, 2020 to June 5, 2020, 75 of the quarter's 110 days; Order of the Governor for Limited Opening of Businesses, Lifting of Stay at Home… (Ex. PA-010) was in force from May 8, 2020 to July 3, 2020, 54 of the quarter's 110 days; COVID-19 Casino Reopening Protocols (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-025) was in force from May 19, 2020 to June 30, 2021, 43 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 98 instruments in the quarter's record, 7 were in force on its first day, 72 on its last day and 6 on every day of the quarter; 2 carry no parsed date and are placed in the quarter by the record itself.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; 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 285 instruments in force for this selection: 35 instruments from the State of Pennsylvania (Governor Tom Wolf (with companion Order of the Secretary of Health), Order of the Governor for Limited Opening of Businesses, Lifting of Stay at Home Requirements, and Continued Aggressive Mitigation Efforts (Yellow Phase Order) (May 7, 2020), sec. 1 (Ex. PA-010); Secretary of Health Rachel Levine, M.D, Order of the Secretary of Health Directing Mitigation Measures (Targeted Mitigation Order) (July 15, 2020), sec. 4 (Teleworking) and sec. 2 (restaurant guidance incorporated) (Ex. PA-016); Governor Tom Wolf, Order of the Governor Directing Targeted Mitigation Measures (July 15, 2020) (Ex. PA-017); and 32 more), 30 instruments from Philadelphia (Mayor James F.

Of the 75 instruments in the quarter's record, 53 were in force on its first day, 55 on its last day and 39 on every day of the quarter; 2 carry no parsed date and are placed in the quarter by the record itself.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; 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.

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.

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, in the Library's own labels: HR (Ex. PA-098); WF (Ex. MET-PHL-068); OF (Ex. MET-PHL-068); CB patient base (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-003); IC (Ex. PA-044); OF administration (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-070); OF reporting (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-011); CT (Ex. MET-PHL-056); CB (Ex. PA-095); IC infection control data (Ex. AGY-ST-HEALTH-SUBORDERS-069).

Step three, the change compelled. Camden County Board of Chosen Freeholders (Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr.), Release: Freeholder Board Declares State of Emergency in Camden County (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. MET-PHL-066) ordered: "The Freeholder Board has declared a state of emergency in Camden County in response to the global pandemic caused by coronavirus (COVID-19). As a result of the declaration, all nonessential employees and personnel county-wide will be asked to begin working from home on Tuesday, March 17. At close of…" Enforcement: County emergency powers under N.J.S.A. App. A:9-30 et seq.; penalties under App. A:9-49 and -50 for violations of emergency regulations Camden County Board of Chosen Freeholders (Freeholder Jonathan Young), Extension of the state of emergency (county offices closed indefinitely) (Mar. 28, 2020) (Ex. MET-PHL-068) ordered: "This declaration was amended to extend the order indefinitely keeping county offices closed until a safe end date has been determined by the Camden County Health Department. Camden County and its agencies will continue to keep emergency measures in place to reduce governmental operations to only…" Enforcement: County emergency powers Department of State, BPOA / State Board of Funeral Directors (suspension granted by Governor Wolf), Department of State summary: Temporary Waiver of Rule for Funeral Home Directors During Coronavirus Emergency (Mar. 30, 2020) (Ex. PA-095) ordered: "Temporary Waiver of Rule for Funeral Home Directors During Coronavirus Emergency. Summary: Federal guidelines advise social distancing that includes restricting public gatherings, including funerals, to no more than 10 people due to the coronavirus outbreak. This is making it difficult for funeral…" Enforcement: State Board of Funeral Directors 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. Release: Freeholder Board Declares State of Emergency in Camden County (Ex. MET-PHL-066) was in force from Mar. 16, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Extension of the state of emergency (county offices closed indefinitely) (Ex. MET-PHL-068) was in force from Mar. 28, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Department of State summary: Temporary Waiver of Rule for Funeral Home Directors During… (Ex. PA-095) was in force from Mar. 30, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days. Of the 68 instruments in the quarter's record, 33 were in force on its first day, 47 on its last day and 22 on every day of the quarter; 2 carry no parsed date and are placed in the quarter by the record itself.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; 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.

8. 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.
