Operative words

Workers performing housing and commercial construction related activities, including those supporting government functions related to the building and development process, such as inspections, permitting, and plan review services that can be modified to protect the public health, but fundamentally should continue and enable the continuity of the construction industry (e.g., allow qualified private third-party inspections in case of federal government shutdown)... Workers supporting essential maintenance, manufacturing, design, operation, inspection, security, and construction for essential products, services, supply chain, and COVID-19 relief efforts... Workers who support the construction, operation, inspection, and maintenance of construction sites and construction projects [energy and pipeline sections]

Enforcement

None (guidance); force came from the State orders adopting it

Notes

The text most State orders adopted to define which construction could proceed and on what terms; the permitting sentence is the federal acknowledgment that building departments were closing.
