1. About this report

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

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

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

The report reproduces at covidproject.com/report?industry=05&quarters=2020Q2,2020Q3,2020Q4,2021Q1,2021Q2,2021Q3&federal=1&agencies=1&duties=1&meetings=1&answers=1. Every exhibit identifier in it resolves at covidproject.com/library/ followed by the identifier, and the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit/ followed by the identifier.

Disclaimer

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

2. Summary of findings

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

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

3. The statute and the test

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

the operation of the trade or business described in clause (i) is fully or partially suspended during the calendar quarter due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
CARES Act § 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 348; I.R.C. § 3134(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), 135 Stat. 4, 177

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

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

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

The partial-suspension test and how this report applies it

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

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

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

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

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

How this report was assembled

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

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

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

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

4. How this business operates: Restaurants and Food Service

The restaurant, bar, catering and food-service industry is the industry the orders named first and released last. Every State and the District of Columbia closed on-premises food and beverage service by order between March 15 and April 6, 2020 (Ohio 9:00 p.m. March 15; New York, Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Washington, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana, Delaware, New Hampshire March 16; Massachusetts, Vermont, Louisiana, Minnesota, Colorado, Oregon, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Iowa, Pennsylvania March 16-17; Alaska, Maine, Utah, West Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, North Dakota, Montana, California, Wyoming, Hawaii, Idaho, Tennessee, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Florida, Nebraska March 17-April 3; Georgia April 3; Missouri April 6). The exceptions prove the rule: Kansas permitted dine-in with six-foot spacing and then a ten-customer ceiling while county stay-home orders closed dining rooms; South Dakota's Governor used 'should' then 'shall' while Sioux Falls, Rapid City and Brookings closed or capped dining rooms by ordinance; Wisconsin's statewide closure ran to May 13, 2020 (Wisconsin Legislature v. Palm) and local orders followed. 2020 Q2 (Apr. 1-June 30): takeout, curbside and delivery were the only lawful mode of operation in every State for between three and eleven weeks of the quarter; alcohol-to-go was created by emergency waiver or regulator notice in about forty States (California ABC Notices of Regulatory Relief, Texas Governor's TABC waiver, New York SLA, Pennsylvania Act 21 of 2020 mixed drinks, Alaska ABC Board emergency regulations, Alabama ABC emergency rules, Colorado D 2020 011, Maryland Comptroller orders, Connecticut DCP, Kansas EO 20-27, Kentucky SB 150, Vermont Directive 4, West Virginia ABCA 175 CSR 4, Iowa proclamations, Nebraska EO 20-06, Rhode Island EO 20-08, Virginia ED 10, Washington LCB); reopening came in steps with binding capacity percentages (25, 33, 50, 60, 66, 75), party-size caps (4, 6, 8, 10), six-foot table spacing, seated-only service, closed bar counters, buffet bans, staff masks and screening, from Georgia April 27 and Alaska April 24 to New Jersey, New York City and Puerto-Rico-style late-summer indoor reopenings (New Jersey Sept. 4 at 25 percent; New York City Sept. 30 at 25 percent). Bars proper (majority-alcohol establishments) stayed closed longer than restaurants everywhere and were closed a second time in the July 2020 wave (California July 13; Texas GA-28 June 26; Florida DBPR EO 2020-09 June 26; Arizona EO 2020-43 June 29; Louisiana 89 JBE July 13; Michigan EO 2020-143/160 July 1 and 31; Nevada Directive 027 July 10; Kentucky July 28; Washington July 24; Idaho Ada County June 24; Colorado Dial; New Mexico July 13). 2020 Q3: percentage caps, seated-only and party-size rules were in force in every State that had not converted them to guidance (Wisconsin after May 13, Kansas after May 26, Tennessee after May 22, North Dakota after May 22, Nebraska after Sept. 14, Oklahoma phases), and the alcohol-hours orders began (Colorado last call 10 p.m. July 23; North Carolina 11 p.m. July 31; Ohio Rule 80 10 p.m. July 31; South Carolina 11 p.m. July 11; Mississippi 11 p.m. July 24; Alabama 11 p.m. Aug. 1; Virginia 10 p.m. Eastern Region July 31; Pennsylvania alcohol only with meals July 16; New York alcohol only with food July 17; Kentucky 10 p.m. Aug. 11). 2020 Q4: the winter re-tightening closed indoor dining outright in Illinois (Tier 3, Nov. 20), Michigan (Nov. 18-Jan. 31), Minnesota (Nov. 20-Jan. 10), Washington (Nov. 18-Jan. 2021), Oregon (Nov. 18-Dec. 2, then Extreme Risk counties), Pennsylvania (Dec. 12-Jan. 4), California (Regional Stay at Home Dec. 6-Jan. 25), Kentucky (Nov. 20-Dec. 13), New Mexico (Nov. 16-Dec. 1, then Red counties), Colorado Level Red (Nov. 20-Jan. 4), New York City (Dec. 14-Feb. 12), D.C.

The employment record confirms the operation of the industry never returned to its pre-order level within the claim period: food services and drinking places employment (seasonally adjusted) fell from 12,303,100 in February 2020 to 6,384,300 in April 2020 and stood at 11,377,600 in September 2021 (BLS, Exs. SEC-05-006, SEC-05-007); April 2020 sales fell 29.5 percent from March 2020 (Census, Ex. SEC-05-008); the National Restaurant Association reported on December 7, 2020 that 17 percent of restaurants, more than 110,000 establishments, were closed (Ex. SEC-05-018).

The functions of the business

The Library records which of these functions each instrument reached. Section 5 names them instrument by instrument and section 9 applies the test to them.

Code	Function
DR	dining room service (occupancy, spacing, party size, hours, curfew, masking of staff and guests, seated-only rules)
BA	bar and alcohol service (bar closures, standing-bar bans, alcohol-sales cutoffs, the alcoholic-beverage regulator's emergency rules and permit conditions)
TO	takeout, curbside, delivery and third-party platforms (the only permitted mode during closures; alcohol-to-go authorizations; delivery-fee caps)
BQ	banquets, catering, private events and live entertainment (gathering caps, venue and event-license orders, live-music bans)
KT	kitchen, food supply and vendors (distributors and processors under their own States' and countries' orders; EO 13917 meat and poultry; PPE and sanitation duties)
HR	hiring, screening, training and food-handler certification (testing-site closures; screening and exclusion duties)
OP	office, multi-unit administration and remote work (telework mandates on administrative staff)
WF	workforce availability (schools and child care by county, quarantine and isolation orders, transit mask orders, FFCRA leave in 2020, vaccination-status rules)
CB	the customer base (residents under stay-home, curfew and gathering orders; office workers under telework mandates; conventions, tourism and business travel under other States' and federal travel orders)

Typical employer

A restaurant, bar, caterer or food-service contractor operates one or more licensed food establishments (health-department permit; alcoholic-beverage license by class) selling prepared food and beverages for on-premises consumption (DR, BA), off-premises consumption (TO) and events (BQ), produced in a kitchen supplied by broadline and specialty distributors and by State-regulated alcohol wholesalers (KT), staffed by an hourly, tipped, part-time and young workforce (HR, WF), administered from a small office or a multi-unit support center (OP), and dependent on a customer base of residents, office workers, travelers, conventioneers, students and event hosts (CB).

Revenue lines

Dine-in food and beverage (the largest line in full-service restaurants; alcohol typically 20-30 percent of full-service revenue and the majority of bar revenue); takeout, drive-through, curbside and third-party delivery (the majority of quick-service revenue; the only line permitted during closures); catering, banquets, private dining and event bars (weddings, corporate events, holiday parties; concentrated Nov.-Dec. and May-June); contract food service (schools, universities, hospitals, offices, stadiums, airports); gift cards and merchandise.

Workforce

Food services and drinking places employed 12,303,100 persons in February 2020 (seasonally adjusted), 6,384,300 in April 2020 (a loss of 5,491,300 in one month; leisure and hospitality lost 7.7 million, 47 percent), and 11,377,600 in September 2021 (Exs. SEC-05-006, SEC-05-007; the Sept. 2021 figure is roughly 925,000 below Feb. 2020 on the two releases' figures; later benchmark revisions differ slightly); the National Restaurant Association described 'a workforce of 15.7 million employees' across 'more than 1 million restaurant and foodservice outlets' in Dec. 2020 (Ex. SEC-05-018). The workforce is predominantly hourly, part-time, tipped, under 35 and disproportionately dependent on public transit, school schedules and child care; quarantine and isolation orders on exposed persons, school and child-care closures, FFCRA leave mandates (2020) and transit mask orders reached it directly.

Supply chain

Food inputs from domestic processors (meat and poultry plants closed by outbreak orders and reopened under EO 13917 and CDC/OSHA interim guidance, Apr.-May 2020), produce and seafood (H-2A consular closures; border and port measures), imported wine, spirits, specialty foods and equipment (presidential entry proclamations; foreign lockdowns as context); paper, packaging and PPE (FEMA allocation and export rules, Apr. 2020); equipment and parts from closed manufacturing States (MI, PA, NY, NJ, Mar.-May 2020); alcohol through State-licensed wholesalers whose delivery hours and credit terms the regulators relaxed by emergency notice (CA ABC Second Notice item 10; HI proclamations suspending HRS ch. 281).

Counterparties

Broadline distributors (Sysco, US Foods, Performance Food Group) and specialty produce, meat, seafood and bakery suppliers operating under their own States' orders and EO 13917 (meat and poultry); alcohol distributors within the three-tier system and the State alcoholic-beverage regulator (license conditions, hours, to-go authority); landlords (percentage rents; eviction moratoria as context); third-party delivery platforms (fee caps by city and State order); payment processors; linen, laundry, pest-control and cleaning contractors; event customers (corporate, wedding, association) whose own gathering limits and travel bans cancelled bookings; hotels, convention centers, stadiums, theaters, universities and office landlords whose closures removed foot traffic; schools and child-care providers on which the workforce depended; health departments (permits, inspections, food-handler certification) and ABC boards (licensing, enforcement).

Seasonality

Peak private-event and holiday season Nov.-Dec. (struck by the winter 2020-21 indoor-dining pauses and 9:30-11:00 p.m. closing orders in about thirty States); summer patio and tourism season (struck in 2020 by the July bar closures and travel quarantines and in 2021 by the Delta-wave mask and vaccination-proof orders of Aug.-Sept.); spring wedding and graduation season (struck in 2020 by gathering caps of 10-50 and in 2021 by caps of 25-250); college-town and resort operators follow academic and ski or beach calendars (campus closures Mar. 2020-2021; ski-county orders, e.g. Summit County CO; beach-area bar rules DE July 3, 2020).

How the orders reached these functions

DR: closure orders (Mar. 2020), percentage caps, seated-only, party-size, spacing, curfew and mask orders (2020-21), vaccination-proof orders (Aug.-Sept. 2021). BA: bar closures (longer than restaurants everywhere; second closures July 2020), standing-bar bans, alcohol-with-food rules (NY, PA, CT, NE), alcohol-hours cutoffs (about twenty States), regulator emergency rules. TO: the sole permitted mode during closures; alcohol-to-go authorizations; delivery-fee caps (WA-048; NYC; others); FDA and OSHA guidance on pickup operations (guidance). BQ: gathering caps (10-250) and event-license limits (AZ EO 2020-59; OH banquet rules; NJ EO 152-204; PA July 15, 2020 order); live-music bans (WV, WA, IN, OR); venue closures. KT: supplier-State plant closures; EO 13917; PPE allocation; sanitation and ventilation duties in the dine-safe orders and Cal/OSHA, Oregon OSHA, Virginia DOLI and NY HERO Act standards. HR: screening, exclusion and training duties; food-handler testing-site closures; vaccination-or-test mandates for employees (New Orleans LC-21-05; Key to NYC; SF personnel deadline Oct. 13, 2021). OP: telework mandates (PA, NJ, NY, CA, WA, OR, MI, IL, MN, MA). WF: school and child-care closures and 2021-22 masking and quarantine orders; FFCRA (2020); quarantine and isolation orders; CDC conveyance order on the commute. CB: stay-home and curfew orders on residents; telework mandates on office workers; travel quarantines, entry proclamations and convention-center closures on visitors; gathering caps on event hosts.

5. The orders, quarter by quarter

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

No State was selected. The industry's State-by-State regime table is on the industry page at covidproject.com/industries/restaurants.

7. Group meetings, trade shows and seasons the industry lost

The organizers' own notices of the trade shows, conventions, seasons and tournaments this industry lost in the quarters selected, with the reason each organizer gave. A cancelled meeting is a limitation on group meetings in the statute's words, and it reached the industry's customer base and its sales calendar.

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

This section applies the five-step test of section 3 to a business of the industry Restaurants and Food Service 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 184 instruments in force for this selection: 5 instruments from the regulators of Restaurants and Food Service (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, TABC Coronavirus Information page (as archived June 23, 2020): Governor's waivers (Mar. 18, 2020 alcohol to-go; Apr.-May 2020), to-go sales and delivery rules, permit-type guidance under the GA orders (Ex. SEC-05-013); Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, Fourth Notice of Regulatory Relief (May 15, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-012); Governor Greg Abbott, Waiver of TABC provisions permitting restaurants to deliver alcoholic beverages with food (Mar. 18, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-014); and 2 more) and 179 federal instruments (The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Guidelines for Opening Up America Again (Apr. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-192); 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). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions of business of the Restaurants industry, as the Library records them: dining room service (DR; Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-009); bar and alcohol service (BA; Ex. SEC-05-013, Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-014, Ex. SEC-05-009 and 1 more); takeout, curbside, delivery and third-party platforms (TO; Ex. SEC-05-013, Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-014, Ex. SEC-05-009 and 1 more); kitchen, food supply and vendors (KT; Ex. SEC-05-010).

Step three, the change compelled. Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, TABC Coronavirus Information page (as archived June 23, 2020): Governor's waivers (Mar. 18, 2020 alcohol to-go; Apr.-May 2020), to-go sales and delivery rules, permit-type guidance under the GA orders (Ex. SEC-05-013) ordered: "TABC recognizes the major impact the coronavirus pandemic is having on the alcoholic beverage [industry]... To-Go Sales: Who's Allowed to Sell Alcohol for Consumer Pickup... Who's Allowed to Sell and Deliver Alcohol to Consumers... Restaurants, alcoholic beverage manufacturers, distributors and…" Enforcement: TABC permit enforcement Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, Fourth Notice of Regulatory Relief (May 15, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-012) ordered: "the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control previously provided temporary relief measures which... Those temporary relief measures remain in place, and the Department now issues the following relief to enable licensees with on-sale privileges to reopen their businesses for on-site consumption...…" Enforcement: conditions of relief; local approval of expanded footprint Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, COVID-19 regulatory relief index page listing the First through Fifth Notices of Regulatory Relief and fee relief (as captured June 2, 2020) (Mar. 19, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-009) ordered: "Fourth Notice of Regulatory Relief May 15, 2020 Previous temporary relief measures remain in place, and the Department now issues the following relief to enable licensees with on-sale privileges to reopen their businesses for on-site consumption... Fifth Notice of Regulatory Relief May 20, 2020 In…" Enforcement: conditions of the relief; ABC accusation and license discipline 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. TABC Coronavirus Information page (as archived June 23, 2020): Governor's waivers (Mar.… (Ex. SEC-05-013) was in force from Mar. 18, 2020 to May 12, 2021, 105 of the quarter's 110 days; Fourth Notice of Regulatory Relief (Ex. SEC-05-012) was in force from May 15, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 47 of the quarter's 110 days; Waiver of TABC provisions permitting restaurants to deliver alcoholic beverages with food… (Ex. SEC-05-014) was in force from Mar. 18, 2020 to May 12, 2021, 105 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 5 instruments in the quarter's record, 0 were in force on its first day, 5 on its last day and 0 on every day of the quarter.

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

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

Step one, the orders. In the third quarter of 2020 the Library holds 169 instruments in force for this selection: 6 instruments from the regulators of Restaurants and Food Service (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, TABC Coronavirus Information page (as archived June 23, 2020): Governor's waivers (Mar. 18, 2020 alcohol to-go; Apr.-May 2020), to-go sales and delivery rules, permit-type guidance under the GA orders (Ex.

FED-157); and 160 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions of business of the Restaurants industry, as the Library records them: dining room service (DR; Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-019, Ex. SEC-05-009); bar and alcohol service (BA; Ex. SEC-05-013, Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-019, Ex. SEC-05-014 and 2 more); takeout, curbside, delivery and third-party platforms (TO; Ex.

SEC-05-013) ordered: "TABC recognizes the major impact the coronavirus pandemic is having on the alcoholic beverage [industry]... To-Go Sales: Who's Allowed to Sell Alcohol for Consumer Pickup...

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020, 92 days. TABC Coronavirus Information page (as archived June 23, 2020): Governor's waivers (Mar.… (Ex.

Of the 6 instruments in the quarter's record, 5 were in force on its first day, 5 on its last day and 5 on every day of the quarter.

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

Of the 4 instruments in the quarter's record, 4 were in force on its first day, 4 on its last day and 4 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of a business of the Restaurants industry; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the fourth 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.

First quarter of 2021 (Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021)

Step one, the orders. In the first quarter of 2021 the Library holds 180 instruments in force for this selection: 5 instruments from the regulators of Restaurants and Food Service (Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, Fourth Notice of Regulatory Relief (May 15, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-012); Governor Greg Abbott, Waiver of TABC provisions permitting restaurants to deliver alcoholic beverages with food (Mar. 18, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-014); Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, COVID-19 regulatory relief index page listing the First through Fifth Notices of Regulatory Relief and fee relief (as captured June 2, 2020) (Mar. 19, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-009); and 2 more) and 175 federal instruments (CMS, Quality, Safety & Oversight Group, QSO-20-30-NH, Nursing Home Reopening Recommendations for State and Local Officials (May 18, 2020; REVISED Mar. 10, 2021; expired Mar. 10, 2021) (Ex. FED-157); Supreme Court of the United States (Public Information Office), Press release of March 12, 2020 (Building closed to the public) (Mar. 12, 2020) (Ex. FED-290); U.S. House of Representatives (H.Res. 965, 116th Cong., agreed to May 15, 2020), H.Res. 965, Authorizing remote voting by proxy in the House of Representatives and providing for official remote committee proceedings during a public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus (May 15, 2020) (Ex. FED-398); and 172 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions of business of the Restaurants industry, as the Library records them: dining room service (DR; Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-009, Ex. SEC-05-001); bar and alcohol service (BA; Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-014, Ex. SEC-05-009, Ex. SEC-05-010); takeout, curbside, delivery and third-party platforms (TO; Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-014, Ex. SEC-05-009, Ex. SEC-05-010); kitchen, food supply and vendors (KT; Ex. SEC-05-010, Ex. SEC-05-001); hiring, screening, training and food-handler certification (HR; Ex. SEC-05-001).

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021, 90 days. Fourth Notice of Regulatory Relief (Ex. SEC-05-012) was in force from May 15, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 90 of the quarter's 90 days; Waiver of TABC provisions permitting restaurants to deliver alcoholic beverages with food… (Ex. SEC-05-014) was in force from Mar. 18, 2020 to May 12, 2021, 90 of the quarter's 90 days; COVID-19 regulatory relief index page listing the First through Fifth Notices of… (Ex. SEC-05-009) was in force from Mar. 19, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 90 of the quarter's 90 days. Of the 5 instruments in the quarter's record, 4 were in force on its first day, 5 on its last day and 4 on every day of the quarter.

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

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

Step one, the orders. In the second quarter of 2021 the Library holds 170 instruments in force for this selection: 5 instruments from the regulators of Restaurants and Food Service (Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, Fourth Notice of Regulatory Relief (May 15, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-012); Governor Greg Abbott, Waiver of TABC provisions permitting restaurants to deliver alcoholic beverages with food (Mar. 18, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-014); Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, COVID-19 regulatory relief index page listing the First through Fifth Notices of Regulatory Relief and fee relief (as captured June 2, 2020) (Mar. 19, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-009); and 2 more) and 165 federal instruments (Supreme Court of the United States (Public Information Office), Press release of March 12, 2020 (Building closed to the public) (Mar. 12, 2020) (Ex. FED-290); U.S. House of Representatives (H.Res. 965, 116th Cong., agreed to May 15, 2020), H.Res. 965, Authorizing remote voting by proxy in the House of Representatives and providing for official remote committee proceedings during a public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus (May 15, 2020) (Ex. FED-398); Chief Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton, General Order 73 (Amended May 21, 2020) (Ex. FED-334); and 162 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions of business of the Restaurants industry, as the Library records them: dining room service (DR; Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-009, Ex. SEC-05-001); bar and alcohol service (BA; Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-014, Ex. SEC-05-009, Ex. SEC-05-010); takeout, curbside, delivery and third-party platforms (TO; Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-014, Ex. SEC-05-009, Ex. SEC-05-010); kitchen, food supply and vendors (KT; Ex. SEC-05-010, Ex. SEC-05-001); hiring, screening, training and food-handler certification (HR; Ex. SEC-05-001).

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021, 91 days. Fourth Notice of Regulatory Relief (Ex. SEC-05-012) was in force from May 15, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 91 of the quarter's 91 days; Waiver of TABC provisions permitting restaurants to deliver alcoholic beverages with food… (Ex. SEC-05-014) was in force from Mar. 18, 2020 to May 12, 2021, 42 of the quarter's 91 days; COVID-19 regulatory relief index page listing the First through Fifth Notices of… (Ex. SEC-05-009) was in force from Mar. 19, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 91 of the quarter's 91 days. Of the 5 instruments in the quarter's record, 5 were in force on its first day, 4 on its last day and 4 on every day of the quarter.

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

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

Step one, the orders. In the third quarter of 2021 the Library holds 172 instruments in force for this selection: 5 instruments from the regulators of Restaurants and Food Service (Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, Fourth Notice of Regulatory Relief (May 15, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-012); Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, COVID-19 regulatory relief index page listing the First through Fifth Notices of Regulatory Relief and fee relief (as captured June 2, 2020) (Mar. 19, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-009); Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, ABC Director Announces Second Notice of Regulatory Relief for ABC Licensed Businesses (release of Apr. 1, 2020) (Ex. SEC-05-010); and 2 more) and 167 federal instruments (Supreme Court of the United States (Public Information Office), Press release of March 12, 2020 (Building closed to the public) (Mar. 12, 2020) (Ex. FED-290); U.S. House of Representatives (H.Res. 965, 116th Cong., agreed to May 15, 2020), H.Res. 965, Authorizing remote voting by proxy in the House of Representatives and providing for official remote committee proceedings during a public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus (May 15, 2020) (Ex. FED-398); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HHS, CDC Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (Oct. 30, 2020) (Ex. FED-031); and 164 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions of business of the Restaurants industry, as the Library records them: dining room service (DR; Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-009, Ex. SEC-05-001, Ex. SEC-05-002); bar and alcohol service (BA; Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-009, Ex. SEC-05-010); takeout, curbside, delivery and third-party platforms (TO; Ex. SEC-05-012, Ex. SEC-05-009, Ex. SEC-05-010); kitchen, food supply and vendors (KT; Ex. SEC-05-010, Ex. SEC-05-001, Ex. SEC-05-002); hiring, screening, training and food-handler certification (HR; Ex. SEC-05-001, Ex. SEC-05-002).

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 days. Fourth Notice of Regulatory Relief (Ex. SEC-05-012) was in force from May 15, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; COVID-19 regulatory relief index page listing the First through Fifth Notices of… (Ex. SEC-05-009) was in force from Mar. 19, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; ABC Director Announces Second Notice of Regulatory Relief for ABC Licensed Businesses… (Ex. SEC-05-010) was in force from Apr. 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days. Of the 5 instruments in the quarter's record, 4 were in force on its first day, 4 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 a business of the Restaurants industry; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the third quarter of 2021 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

9. The Service's sentences, answered for Restaurants and Food Service

The Service's letters and memoranda take fourteen positions against employers of this class. Each is stated below in the Service's general vocabulary and answered from the text of the Suspension Clause, from Tri-State, from the instruments and from the United States' own representations. None survives the public record.

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

Sentence 1: No orders in effect during the quarter

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

The quarter sections above list, quarter by quarter, the exhibits in force on the functions of this industry. For the second quarter of 2020 they include the closure orders of every State (Ex. NY-010; Ex. IL-004; Ex. TX-003; Ex. CA-002; Ex. WA-009); for the third and fourth quarters of 2020, the capacity, bar-closure, curfew and winter-closure orders (Ex. TX-021; Ex. FL-036; Ex. PA-016; Ex. WA-047; Ex. MN-032; Ex. CA-020); for the first and second quarters of 2021, the closures into February and the caps to their end dates (Ex. NY-040; Ex. MI-064; Ex. PA-022; Ex. WA-064); for the third quarter of 2021, the instruments listed in subpart B of that quarter (Ex. FED-020; Ex. SEC-05-002; Ex. HI-025; Ex. LA-036; Ex. OR-048; Ex. WA-078; Ex. IL-042; Ex. MET-NYC-017; Ex. MET-SFO-011). The sentence is a statement about the Service's records. The public record is different. It is factually incorrect.

Sentence 2: The employer was designated essential and remained open

The employer was designated essential and remained open.

The word "essential" is not in the statute. The Notice itself provides that an employer permitted to remain open "may be considered to have a partial suspension of operations if, under the facts and circumstances, more than a nominal portion of its business operations are suspended by a governmental order," and its Example 1 to Q&A-17 is a restaurant permitted to remain open for takeout whose "indoor and outdoor dining service" was more than a nominal portion of its operations. Every closure order in the State-by-State treatment above permitted restaurants to remain open for takeout and delivery; every one of them closed the dining room and the bar. An order that permits a business to sell food across a counter while prohibiting it from seating a single guest has suspended the operation the business exists to perform. The designation described the door; it did not open the dining room.

Sentence 3: Stay-at-home orders directed to the public are not considered

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

The statute says nothing of the source of the order beyond the adjective "appropriate" and nothing of its addressee; it describes the orders by their object, "limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings." The Notice's own second example of a governmental order is "[a] State's emergency proclamation that residents must shelter in place for a specified period," and its third is "[a]n order from a local official imposing a curfew on residents that impacts the operating hours of a trade or business." The United States has represented that "a business may be suspended 'due to' a government order addressing a third party"; the contrary gloss it offered the District Court is a sentence in a brief about a document that, on the United States' own account, "lacks the force of law," and it contradicts the Notice's own second listed example. New Jersey's EO 107 ¶ 2 confined every resident to home except, among a short list, for "obtaining takeout food or beverages"; that order limited commerce at every restaurant in the State by naming the one form of it the residents could still buy. The position is a gloss the United States has disclaimed and the Notice contradicts.

Sentence 4: The employer could have continued comparable operations through telework

The employer could have continued comparable operations through telework.

The Notice's telework rule applies where an employer "is able to continue operations comparable to its operations prior to the closure ... by requiring its employees to telework," and its own factors provide that where "the employer's physical work space is so critical to its trade or business operations that tasks central to the trade or business's operations are unable to be performed remotely, then this factor alone indicates that the employer is not able to continue comparable operations." A dining room, a bar, a kitchen and a banquet hall cannot be operated from a server's home. The Notice's Example 2 to Q&A-15 makes the point for a physical-therapy practice whose "workplace, including access to physical therapy equipment, is central to its operations"; a restaurant's stove and tables are no less so. The position describes an industry that does not exist.

Sentence 5: The orders affected the employer's customers, not the employer

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

Q&A-13 addresses an employer whose operations "are not suspended due to a governmental order but the employer experiences a reduction in demand," its example being an auto-repair shop that "suspends its operations due to the lack of demand." The orders relied on here did not reduce demand; they fixed by law who could enter the premises, in what number, at what distance, until what hour and on what proof, and they closed the premises outright for weeks at a time. An order that caps a dining room at 25 percent is an order on the dining room, whoever it names. The United States' own admission that a third-party order can suspend a business disposes of the point, and the Notice's Q&A-13 was written for a different case.

Sentence 6: The employer's measures were voluntary

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

Q&A-14 addresses an employer that "voluntarily suspends operation of a trade or business or voluntarily reduces hours due to COVID-19," where "the suspension or reduction in hours is not due to a governmental order." Nothing relied on here was voluntary. The closure of the dining room on March 16, 2020 in New York was an order of the Governor punishable under Executive Law § 29-a; the closure of the bar on June 26, 2020 in Texas was an order of the Governor enforced by the Alcoholic Beverage Commission's thirty-day suspensions; the 9:30 p.m. closing in Massachusetts from November 6, 2020 was an order of the Governor and the Commission; the face covering on every patron in Boston from August 27, 2021, one of the exposure-control conditions the Public Health Commission placed on every indoor establishment, was an order of that Commission. A restaurateur who complied with the law did not act voluntarily, and the Notice does not say otherwise.

The Notice's own words go further. Q&A-14 reaches, by its terms, only a suspension "not due to a governmental order," and the United States and the District Court have defined the excluded employer as one "not being ordered to do so" (the summary-judgment order of June 20, 2025, Stenson Tamaddon, LLC v. IRS, No. 2:24-cv-01123-SPL (D. Ariz.), ECF No. 49 ("Doc. 49"), at 18; Br. for Appellees at 42). No restaurant, bar or caterer in the eight States whose standing duties are set out above answered that description in any of the six quarters. The reopening orders permitted a dining room to operate only on conditions with the force of law (Ex. TX-021; Ex. OH-020; Ex. AZ-019; Ex. DUT-TX-012). The standing statutes commanded the same conduct independently: Texas's "Each person shall act responsibly to prevent and control communicable disease" (Health and Safety Code § 81.002, Ex. DUT-TX-001; Ex. DUT-TX-002; Ex. DUT-TX-005; Ex. DUT-TX-006) and Labor Code section 411.103 (Ex. DUT-TX-013); North Carolina's "All persons shall comply with control measures" (Ex. DUT-NC-001); Ohio's R.C. 3701.352 and 3701.81(C) (Ex. DUT-OH-004; Ex. DUT-OH-007); and the general duty clause, enforced by citation from September 2020 (Ex. DUT-FED-001; Ex. LAW-487). The legislatures of Texas and Florida then fixed the standard of care as compliance with governmental standards, guidance and protocols, from the first days of the emergency (Ex. DUT-TX-015; Ex. DUT-FL-012), and Arizona presumed good faith for the business that "adopted and implemented reasonable policies related to the public health pandemic," the policies Executive Order 2020-36 ¶ 5 had required of every employer since May 2020 (Ex. DUT-AZ-010; Ex. AZ-019). The safe-workplace statutes had no COVID-19 content until the health authorities said what a safe dining room and kitchen required; the six-foot table spacing, the screened shift, the sanitized station and the masked server were taken because those directives defined the duty and would not have been taken without them. "Due to" is but-for causation (Tri-State, ECF No. 38, at 17-19), and the causation here runs from the command to the measure without an intervening choice; an owner who describes compliance under threat of a misdemeanor, a license suspension or an OSHA citation as a choice describes the choice the Supreme Court refused to call voluntary (Union Pacific R.R. v. Public Service Comm'n, 248 U.S. 67, 70 (1918), Ex. LAW-470). The Notice confirms the result: a modification "required by a governmental order as a condition of reopening" is a partial suspension due to the order (Q&A-18, at 930). A statute that commands conduct is an order from an appropriate governmental authority, and the Service's premise fails wherever a command reached the employer, which in this industry was everywhere and on every day of the six quarters.

Sentence 7: The portion affected was not more than nominal

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

The United States has represented that the ten percent figure "isn't an eligibility requirement," is "[e]ffectively ... a safe harbor," and "does not impose a threshold or place a limitation on receiving the credit"; the District Court held it "not an exclusionary cut-off point"; Tri-State held it "a method for the test to be met not as a requirement to meet the test." The figure is therefore the United States' safe harbor, and this industry sits far above it on the Notice's own terms: the Notice states that "[o]n-site dining is more than a nominal portion" of a restaurant's operations and that "occupancy restrictions at a restaurant with indoor dining service may result in an actual, and more than nominal, reduction of the restaurant's ability to service customers." The Bureau of Labor Statistics measured the portion in April 2020 at 47 percent of leisure and hospitality employment and 29.5 percent of food-service sales in a month. A position that applies as a floor what the United States has told two courts is a safe harbor, a sufficient condition and not a necessary one, cannot be squared with the United States' own words.

Sentence 8: The required modifications had only a nominal effect

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

Q&A-18 names "limiting occupancy to provide for social distancing," "changing the format of service (for example, restrictions on buffet or self-serve, but not prepackaged or carry-out)" and "requiring employees and customers to wear face coverings" as the modifications contemplated by Q&A-17, and it states that occupancy restrictions at a restaurant "may result in an actual, and more than nominal, reduction of the restaurant's ability to service customers." The sentence the Service relies on speaks of "mask requirements" as "modifications altering customer behavior" and of rules "that require employees to wear masks and gloves while performing their duties," and of nothing else; it does not describe an order that guests remain seated with their party, that there be no mingling, that no one enter without proof of vaccination, or that the operator verify every entrant and post the rule at the door, and it does not describe a face-covering rule that arrived, as every one relied on for the third quarter of 2021 did, as one condition among several on the same room, a workplace infection-prevention and exposure-control requirement of which the face covering was one control. Those are conditions on the room, and the Notice's own restaurant example holds that a six-foot spacing constraint "has more than a nominal effect on Employer F's business operations." Tri-State held that the compelled protocols of the order were the suspension, and that "[s]ick patients and employees alone did not require additional protocols." The position reads one sentence of Q&A-18 against the four that surround it and against the Notice's own restaurant example; it is not a construction of the Notice, it is an omission from it.

Sentence 9: A declaration of emergency is not an order

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

Agreed, and this analysis is built on the distinction the Notice itself draws: a declaration falls outside Q&A-10 only "if it does not limit commerce, travel, or group meetings in any manner." A bare declaration is cited here only as the predicate that authorized the orders (Proclamation 9994; the public health emergency; the State emergencies), and the orders are cited as the orders. A proclamation that itself closed the dining room is an order in the statute's words because of what it did, whatever its title: Iowa's Proclamation of Disaster Emergency of March 17, 2020 (Ex. IA-002), Delaware's First Modification of the Declaration of a State of Emergency of March 16, 2020 (Ex. DE-002), Hawaii's Third Supplementary Proclamation of March 23, 2020 (Ex. HI-004) and Puerto Rico's OE-2020-023 of March 15, 2020 (Ex. AGY-TERRITORIES-002) are cited for their closure clauses, not their titles. Proclamation 9994 is not the instrument that closed a dining room; Executive Order 202.3 is (Ex. FED-001; Ex. NY-010).

Sentence 10: The supplier was not itself closed by order

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

The United States told the Ninth Circuit that the Notice's supplier rule "never even mentions a 'physical[ ] clos[ure]' order against the supplier," and the Notice's Q&A-12 asks only whether "the business's suppliers are unable to make deliveries of critical goods or materials due to a governmental order that causes the supplier to suspend its operations." The Chief Counsel memorandum's "narrow, limited exception" and "absolutely could not operate" tests appear in no statute, in no Notice and in no brief of the United States, and a Chief Counsel memorandum "may not be used or cited as precedent." This analysis relies on the supplier orders (Executive Order 13917; the border and entry orders; the wholesalers' rules) as orders limiting commerce that reached the kitchen, food-supply and vendor function (KT, above), on the text of the clause, on Q&A-12's own logic and on the United States' statement of the supplier rule without the Chief Counsel gloss; the dining room, the bar and the banquet hall were suspended by orders addressed to them, and the kitchen by orders addressed to those who fill it. The gloss adds words to the Notice that the United States itself left out when it described the rule to the Ninth Circuit.

Sentence 11: The orders had lifted before the quarter began

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

For every quarter through the second quarter of 2021 the orders had not lifted; the State-by-State treatment above fixes the end dates: outside Hawaii the last fell on June 30, 2021 in Oregon and Washington, and Hawaii's ran to December 1, 2021. For the third quarter of 2021, the orders set out in subpart B of that quarter were in force in that quarter, and this analysis names, in the closing paragraph of that section, every instrument on which it does not rely. Beyond those, the restoration compelled by the lifted orders' own phase steps is a continuing suspension within the clause's grammar and Tri-State's definition of a suspension as a "delay," not an effect of an order that had ceased to exist; the interconnected-economy section states the arithmetic. The position mistakes the day an order expired for the day the suspension it caused ended; the statute asks when the operation was suspended, and Congress did not write "orders in effect during the calendar quarter."

Sentence 12: No decline in gross receipts

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

The gross-receipts prong is an alternative route to eligibility that this analysis does not rely on. Tri-State held the two prongs independent "by Defendant's admission" and found "even Defendant's own argument is contradictory" in suggesting that the gross-receipts prong narrows the suspension prong. An employer that satisfies the Suspension Clause is an eligible employer whatever its receipts.

Sentence 13: Guidance, recommendations or best practices, not orders

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

Every instrument on which a finding in this analysis rests is an executive order, proclamation, public health order, emergency rule, statute, ordinance, board rule or federal order carrying a sanction: misdemeanor liability under the State emergency acts, license suspension under the alcohol codes, civil penalties under the State occupational-safety acts and the federal directives, closure under the municipal codes. The guidance documents of the period (the CDC's considerations, the FDA's best practices, OSHA's alerts, the trade associations' reports) are cited as context, described as guidance and ground no finding. So are the alcohol regulators' notices, advisories and announcements, which this analysis cites beside the executive orders, public health orders, emergency rules and statutes they implemented; the order is relied on, and the regulator's announcement is the record of how it reached the license. The Service's "recommendations" language belongs to Q&A-10, which excludes "[s]tatements from a governmental official, including comments made during press conferences"; a Governor's executive order is not a press conference.

Sentence 14: "Order" must be given its ordinary meaning

"Order" must be given its ordinary meaning.

Agreed, and applied. An order is a command of a governmental authority carrying legal consequences for noncompliance. "Any restaurant or bar in the state of New York shall cease serving patrons food or beverage on-premises" is an order (Ex. NY-010). "People shall not visit bars or similar establishments that hold a permit from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission" is an order (Ex. TX-021). "Restaurants and Bars are closed for indoor dine-in service" is an order (Ex. WA-047). "Patrons must remain seated with their party ... No mingling" is an order (Ex. HI-025). "[A] covered entity shall not permit a patron, full- or part-time employee, intern, volunteer, or contractor to enter a covered premises without displaying proof of vaccination" is an order (Ex. MET-NYC-017). "Persons must wear masks over the mouth and nose when traveling on conveyances into and within the United States" is an order (Ex. FED-020). Each satisfies the ordinary meaning the Service proposes and the Notice's "determined without regard to the level of enforcement" rule besides.

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

11. How to use this report

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

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

Three points of public law matter to anyone holding such a letter. First, a notice that turns down a refund claim starts a clock. Under section 6532(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, a refund suit cannot be brought "after the expiration of 2 years from the date of mailing by certified mail or registered mail by the Secretary to the taxpayer of a notice of the disallowance of the part of the claim to which the suit or proceeding relates." Second, asking the IRS Independent Office of Appeals to review the letter does not stop that clock; the Service's own page on the letter says so ("Requesting an appeal doesn't extend this time"), and section 6532(a)(4) provides that the Service's later consideration of the claim does not extend the period. 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.
