1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Oct. 1, 2026. Selection: State New Hampshire and no metropolitan area (elsewhere in the State). 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=NH&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.

[As CMS restated it in QSO-20-39-NH:] In March of 2020, CMS issued memorandum QSO 20-14-NH providing guidance to facilities on restricting visitation of all visitors and non-essential healthcare personnel, except for certain compassionate care situations, such as an end-of-life situation.

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.

End of general restrictions, State of New Hampshire: Emergency Order #90 (Apr. 16, 2021), para. 2 and 5, extending Emergency Order #52 (Safer at Home; mandatory Universal Guidelines and industry-specific guidance) and the mandatory travel guidance 'through May 7, 2021'; the Governor's Economic Reopening Task Force's 'Universal Best Practices', 'Effective May 8, 2021', replaced 'all existing Safer at Home 2.0 business operations guidance in place since March 2020' with 'recommendations' (Exs. NH-038, NH-046). The statewide mask mandate (Emergency Order #74, as extended by #81 and #87) had expired April 16, 2021, and #90 rescinded the gathering-mask order #63 the same day (Exs. NH-035, NH-038). (2021-05-07 (business guidance and travel mandate); 2021-04-16 (mask mandates); 2021-06-11 (state of emergency and all remaining Emergency Orders)). What remained: From May 8 to June 11, 2021: the state of emergency (Executive Orders 2021-08 and 2021-10) and the Emergency Orders not tied to #52, including #89 (schools must offer five-day in-person instruction), #29 and its agency exhibits (licensing and deadline modifications), #86 and #79 (vaccinators), #42 (long-term-care temporary health partners), #7/#64 data and special-education provisions; the Universal Best Practices as recommendations; DHHS isolation and quarantine directives. After June 11, 2021: no Emergency Orders; RSA 141-C isolation and quarantine authority and DHHS directives; RSA 141-C:1-a from July 23, 2021 (no State or local COVID-19 vaccination condition on public facilities, benefits or services); municipal face-covering ordinances where not expired (Concord's ran through Jan. 2, 2021 unless extended; Durham's status in 2021 not verified); local school-board masking rules for 2021-22 (not verified here); federal instruments (CDC conveyance mask order, TSA directives, OSHA Healthcare ETS, CMS conditions, FFCRA/CARES successor rules) per the federal files.

Preemption of local orders, State of New Hampshire: New Hampshire did not preempt local COVID-19 orders at any point through September 30, 2021. Emergency Order #74, para. 4 (Nov. 19, 2020), provides verbatim: 'Nothing in this Order shall be construed to prevent municipalities within the State of New Hampshire from enacting their own ordinances related to the wearing of masks or cloth face coverings that contain stricter provisions than those contained within this Order' (Ex.

Municipalities acted under their police powers (RSA 47:17 for cities; RSA 31:39 for towns) and charter emergency-ordinance provisions (Durham Town Charter sec. 3.9, recited in Emergency Ordinance #2020-11, Ex. NH-077; Concord City Council face-covering ordinance adopted Aug. 31, 2020 at a special public hearing, effective immediately through Jan. 2, 2021, retail establishments, customers five and older, $15 fine on second offense). Emergency Orders #17 and #40 expressly did not apply to 'State Government, local and county governments, local and county legislative bodies, the General Court, or the Judicial Branch' (para. 6 and 8 respectively). New Hampshire counties have no health-officer authority; the local layer is municipal (town and city councils, boards of selectmen, health officers under RSA 128) and school boards. The 2021 legislature's amendment of RSA 4:45 (2021, 91:459-460, eff. June 25, 2021) added legislative termination of a state of emergency or of any emergency order by majority vote of both chambers and a 90-day joint-session vote.

End of general restrictions, State of New Hampshire: Emergency Order #90 (Apr. 16, 2021), para. 2 and 5, extending Emergency Order #52 (Safer at Home; mandatory Universal Guidelines and industry-specific guidance) and the mandatory travel guidance 'through May 7, 2021'; the Governor's Economic Reopening Task Force's 'Universal Best Practices', 'Effective May 8, 2021', replaced 'all existing Safer at Home 2.0 business operations guidance in place since March 2020' with 'recommendations' (Exs. NH-038, NH-046). The statewide mask mandate (Emergency Order #74, as extended by #81 and #87) had expired April 16, 2021, and #90 rescinded the gathering-mask order #63 the same day (Exs. NH-035, NH-038). (2021-05-07 (business guidance and travel mandate); 2021-04-16 (mask mandates); 2021-06-11 (state of emergency and all remaining Emergency Orders)). What remained: From May 8 to June 11, 2021: the state of emergency (Executive Orders 2021-08 and 2021-10) and the Emergency Orders not tied to #52, including #89 (schools must offer five-day in-person instruction), #29 and its agency exhibits (licensing and deadline modifications), #86 and #79 (vaccinators), #42 (long-term-care temporary health partners), #7/#64 data and special-education provisions; the Universal Best Practices as recommendations; DHHS isolation and quarantine directives. After June 11, 2021: no Emergency Orders; RSA 141-C isolation and quarantine authority and DHHS directives; RSA 141-C:1-a from July 23, 2021 (no State or local COVID-19 vaccination condition on public facilities, benefits or services); municipal face-covering ordinances where not expired (Concord's ran through Jan. 2, 2021 unless extended; Durham's status in 2021 not verified); local school-board masking rules for 2021-22 (not verified here); federal instruments (CDC conveyance mask order, TSA directives, OSHA Healthcare ETS, CMS conditions, FFCRA/CARES successor rules) per the federal files.

Preemption of local orders, State of New Hampshire: New Hampshire did not preempt local COVID-19 orders at any point through September 30, 2021. Emergency Order #74, para. 4 (Nov. 19, 2020), provides verbatim: 'Nothing in this Order shall be construed to prevent municipalities within the State of New Hampshire from enacting their own ordinances related to the wearing of masks or cloth face coverings that contain stricter provisions than those contained within this Order' (Ex. NH-031). Municipalities acted under their police powers (RSA 47:17 for cities; RSA 31:39 for towns) and charter emergency-ordinance provisions (Durham Town Charter sec. 3.9, recited in Emergency Ordinance #2020-11, Ex. NH-077; Concord City Council face-covering ordinance adopted Aug. 31, 2020 at a special public hearing, effective immediately through Jan. 2, 2021, retail establishments, customers five and older, $15 fine on second offense). Emergency Orders #17 and #40 expressly did not apply to 'State Government, local and county governments, local and county legislative bodies, the General Court, or the Judicial Branch' (para. 6 and 8 respectively). New Hampshire counties have no health-officer authority; the local layer is municipal (town and city councils, boards of selectmen, health officers under RSA 128) and school boards. The 2021 legislature's amendment of RSA 4:45 (2021, 91:459-460, eff. June 25, 2021) added legislative termination of a state of emergency or of any emergency order by majority vote of both chambers and a 90-day joint-session vote.

End of general restrictions, State of New Hampshire: Emergency Order #90 (Apr. 16, 2021), para. 2 and 5, extending Emergency Order #52 (Safer at Home; mandatory Universal Guidelines and industry-specific guidance) and the mandatory travel guidance 'through May 7, 2021'; the Governor's Economic Reopening Task Force's 'Universal Best Practices', 'Effective May 8, 2021', replaced 'all existing Safer at Home 2.0 business operations guidance in place since March 2020' with 'recommendations' (Exs. NH-038, NH-046). The statewide mask mandate (Emergency Order #74, as extended by #81 and #87) had expired April 16, 2021, and #90 rescinded the gathering-mask order #63 the same day (Exs. NH-035, NH-038). (2021-05-07 (business guidance and travel mandate); 2021-04-16 (mask mandates); 2021-06-11 (state of emergency and all remaining Emergency Orders)). What remained: From May 8 to June 11, 2021: the state of emergency (Executive Orders 2021-08 and 2021-10) and the Emergency Orders not tied to #52, including #89 (schools must offer five-day in-person instruction), #29 and its agency exhibits (licensing and deadline modifications), #86 and #79 (vaccinators), #42 (long-term-care temporary health partners), #7/#64 data and special-education provisions; the Universal Best Practices as recommendations; DHHS isolation and quarantine directives. After June 11, 2021: no Emergency Orders; RSA 141-C isolation and quarantine authority and DHHS directives; RSA 141-C:1-a from July 23, 2021 (no State or local COVID-19 vaccination condition on public facilities, benefits or services); municipal face-covering ordinances where not expired (Concord's ran through Jan. 2, 2021 unless extended; Durham's status in 2021 not verified); local school-board masking rules for 2021-22 (not verified here); federal instruments (CDC conveyance mask order, TSA directives, OSHA Healthcare ETS, CMS conditions, FFCRA/CARES successor rules) per the federal files.

Preemption of local orders, State of New Hampshire: New Hampshire did not preempt local COVID-19 orders at any point through September 30, 2021. Emergency Order #74, para. 4 (Nov. 19, 2020), provides verbatim: 'Nothing in this Order shall be construed to prevent municipalities within the State of New Hampshire from enacting their own ordinances related to the wearing of masks or cloth face coverings that contain stricter provisions than those contained within this Order' (Ex. NH-031). Municipalities acted under their police powers (RSA 47:17 for cities; RSA 31:39 for towns) and charter emergency-ordinance provisions (Durham Town Charter sec. 3.9, recited in Emergency Ordinance #2020-11, Ex. NH-077; Concord City Council face-covering ordinance adopted Aug. 31, 2020 at a special public hearing, effective immediately through Jan. 2, 2021, retail establishments, customers five and older, $15 fine on second offense). Emergency Orders #17 and #40 expressly did not apply to 'State Government, local and county governments, local and county legislative bodies, the General Court, or the Judicial Branch' (para. 6 and 8 respectively). New Hampshire counties have no health-officer authority; the local layer is municipal (town and city councils, boards of selectmen, health officers under RSA 128) and school boards. The 2021 legislature's amendment of RSA 4:45 (2021, 91:459-460, eff. June 25, 2021) added legislative termination of a state of emergency or of any emergency order by majority vote of both chambers and a 90-day joint-session vote.

5. Standing duties in New Hampshire

New Hampshire's compulsion ran on three tracks. First, the Communicable Disease Act, RSA chapter 141-C, declares it the policy of the State that communicable diseases 'be prevented... identified, controlled, and, when possible, eradicated at the earliest possible time by application of appropriate public health measures' (141-C:1), commands the Commissioner of Health and Human Services to establish isolation and quarantine of persons and of 'commodities, conveyances, baggage and cargo' when a disease poses 'a substantial threat to the health and life of the citizenry' (141-C:11), provides that such orders 'shall be complied with immediately' (141-C:12, II), authorizes the Commissioner with the Governor's written approval to 'close, direct, and compel the evacuation and decontamination of any building... accessible to the public, such as businesses' (141-C:16-a) and to 'order the cancellation of public gatherings and events' (141-C:16-b), and punishes any person who 'shall violate, disobey, refuse, omit or neglect to comply with any of the provisions of RSA 141-C, or of the rules adopted pursuant to it' with a misdemeanor for a natural person and 'a felony if any other person' (141-C:21). The Department's rule He-P 301.05 carries the duty to employers by name ('Admitting officials and employers shall exclude' cases and contacts from food handling, child care, patient care and work places) and generalizes it in paragraph (r) to 'any communicable disease that poses a threat to the public's health,' requiring that cases and close contacts in 'sensitive occupations, such as healthcare, food service, and child care' be 'excluded or restricted... based on the best available guidance and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.' Second, the emergency-management statutes made every Emergency Order a command with a criminal sanction: RSA 4:45, III(a) and (e) and RSA 4:47, III supplied the Governor's power 'to make, amend, suspend, and rescind necessary orders, rules, and regulations'; RSA 21-P:45 imposed the duty 'to execute and enforce such orders'; RSA 21-P:47 made violation 'a misdemeanor'; and Emergency Order #65 (Ex. NH-026) applied that section and added civil penalties of $1,000 and $2,000 per day and immediate closure. The orders themselves made operation conditional: Emergency Order #17 ¶ 3 ('shall develop strategies, procedures and practices to allow for social distancing protocols consistent with guidance provided by the CDC and the Division of Public Health'), Emergency Order #40 ¶ 3 and Emergency Order #52 ¶ 1 ('All businesses or other organizations operating within this State shall comply with the Universal Business Guidelines... and any other industry-specific guidelines'), with the Universal Guidelines' employer provisions written in 'must' and their CDC reference written in 'should.' Third, New Hampshire is a federal-OSHA State for private employers (29 U.S.C. 654(a)(1), Ex. DUT-AL-009), and its own statute, RSA 281-A:64, I, commands that 'Every employer shall provide employees with safe employment,' including 'personal protective equipment' and 'work methods and procedures which will protect the life, health, and safety of the employees,' with a written safety program for employers of 15 or more (Lab 602.01); RSA chapter 277 and Lab 1400 impose parallel duties on public employers only. The State enacted no general business liability shield (HB 149 of 2021, conditioned on 'following public health and safety instructions,' was retained and recommended for defeat on September 28, 2021), but its two operative shields are both conditioned on compliance: RSA 21-P:41 (standing; private corporations and emergency management workers 'complying with or reasonably attempting to comply with... any order or rule') and RSA 21-P:42-a (effective July 30, 2021; health facilities 'when complying, or reasonably attempting to comply, with any executive order, agency order or rule,' and not 'after such an emergency order or rule is no longer in effect'). The sanitary statutes (RSA 147:1, II: food establishments in violation 'may be closed without a hearing for a 10-day period'; RSA 143-A:7: license revocation for an 'imminent health hazard'; He-P 2303.01(a): 'All licensees shall comply with the... Food Code, 2017 edition') bound every business open to the public. After May 7, 2021 the State's guidance became 'recommendations' (Ex. NH-046) and the compulsion rested on the standing statutes, on RSA 21-P:42-a from July 30, 2021, and on the federal layer.

The phase question

Whether the measures employers took beyond the four corners of the emergency orders were voluntary within Notice 2021-20 Q&A-14, or were the discharge of standing duties imposed by New Hampshire law and of operating conditions written into the orders themselves.

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).

Enforcement: none; the document defines what the ADA permits

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 New Hampshire 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 270 instruments in force for this selection: 45 instruments from the State of New Hampshire (Governor Christopher T. Sununu, Emergency Order #40 (Stay at Home 2.0) (May 1, 2020) (Ex. NH-017); Governor Christopher T. Sununu, Emergency Order #49 (May 29, 2020) (Ex. NH-019); Governor Christopher T. Sununu, Emergency Order #2 (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. NH-003); and 42 more), 1 instrument from the agencies, boards and authorities of New Hampshire (N.H. Secretary of State, Bureau of Securities Regulation, Emergency Order: Temporary Relief for Registrants Affected by the COVID-19 Outbreak (Apr. 9, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-INSURANCE-BANKING-062)), 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 45 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 43 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: WF workforce (Ex. NH-009); HR screening (Ex. NH-056); CB payers (Ex. NH-071); IN in-person instruction (Ex. NH-002); BQ banquets (Ex. NH-047); DR dining room (Ex. NH-003); EMP (Ex. NH-049); GS group sales (Ex. NH-013); HR (Ex. AGY-ST-INSURANCE-BANKING-062); IN insurance (Ex. NH-071).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Christopher T. Sununu, Emergency Order #40 (Stay at Home 2.0) (May 1, 2020) (Ex. NH-017) ordered: "2. All businesses and other organizations not addressed in paragraph 5 of this Order and that do not provide Essential Services shall continue to close their physical workplaces and facilities to workers, customers and the public, and shall continue to cease all in-person operations until 12:01 a.m.…" Enforcement: Division of Public Health and State or local police (para. 13); RSA 21-P:47 Governor Christopher T. Sununu, Emergency Order #49 (May 29, 2020) (Ex. NH-019) ordered: "1. The provisions of Emergency Order #40, including all Exhibits thereto, are hereby extended and shall be effective through June 15, 2020. 2. Emergency Orders #2, 16 and 27 are hereby extended and shall remain in effect through June 15, 2020... 3. Emergency Order #6 is hereby extended and shall…" Enforcement: As in EO #40 para. 13 Governor Christopher T. Sununu, Emergency Order #2 (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. NH-003) ordered: "Scheduled gatherings of 50 people or more for social, spiritual and recreational activities, including but not limited to, community, civic, public, leisure, faith based, or sporting events; parades; concerts; festivals; conventions; fundraisers; and similar activities [are prohibited].... 2. Food…" Enforcement: Division of Public Health with State or local police (para. 4); RSA 21-P:47 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 #40 (Stay at Home 2.0) (Ex. NH-017) was in force from May 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020, 31 of the quarter's 110 days; Emergency Order #49 (Ex. NH-019) was in force from May 29, 2020 to June 15, 2020, 18 of the quarter's 110 days; Emergency Order #2 (Ex. NH-003) was in force from Mar. 16, 2020 to Apr. 6, 2020, 22 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 46 instruments in the quarter's record, 3 were in force on its first day, 30 on its last day and 3 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 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 251 instruments in force for this selection: 38 instruments from the State of New Hampshire (Governor's Economic Re-Opening Task Force (with Board of Barbering, Cosmetology and Esthetics rules referenced), Barbers, Hair Salons and Cosmetology - COVID-19 Reopening Guidance (updated May 1, 2020) (Ex. NH-055); Governor's Economic Reopening Task Force, Places of Worship - COVID-19 Reopening Guidance (May 22, 2020) (Ex.

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 screening (Ex. NH-056); CB customers (Ex. NH-021); CB payers (Ex. NH-071); HR (Ex. AGY-ST-INSURANCE-BANKING-062); EMP (Ex. NH-049); IN insurance (Ex. NH-071); SC PPE (Ex. NH-050); SF retail (Ex. NH-021); TV travel quarantine (Ex. NH-021); WF workforce (Ex. NH-052).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor's Economic Re-Opening Task Force (with Board of Barbering, Cosmetology and Esthetics rules referenced), Barbers, Hair Salons and Cosmetology - COVID-19 Reopening Guidance (updated May 1, 2020) (Ex. NH-055) ordered: "Effective May 11, 2020, barbers, hair salons, and other cosmetology businesses may open their physical facilities to workers, customers, and the public and resume in person operations if they operate in accordance with the following guidelines.

Admissions to the facility should be limited to, at most, 50% of the maximum licensed capacity, or the number where people can consistently…" Enforcement: EO #52 para. 10; EO #65 The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020, 92 days. Barbers, Hair Salons and Cosmetology - COVID-19 Reopening Guidance (updated May 1, 2020) (Ex. NH-055) was in force from May 11, 2020 to Mar. 11, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Places of Worship - COVID-19 Reopening Guidance (Ex.

Of the 39 instruments in the quarter's record, 28 were in force on its first day, 35 on its last day and 26 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 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.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 days. RSA 21-P:47, Penalty (Ex.

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.
