Abstract: On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), Pub. L. No. 116-136. Section 601(a)(1) of the Social Security Act as added by section 5001 of the CARES Act provides $150 billion for the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) to make payments to States (defined to include the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa), Tribal governments, and certain eligible local governments with more than 500,000 residents to assist with necessary expenditures incurred due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19) pandemic. Section 601(b)(1) of the Social Security Act as added by section 5001 of the CARES Act provides that not later than 30 days after March 27, 2020, the Secretary shall pay each State and Tribal government, and eligible local government.

Emergency Justfication: Treasury requires the ability to collect payment information from the recipients in order to expedite payments in order to mitigate the immediate the COVID-19 economic shock on state and local budgets. . Given the short timeframe for implementing the new legislation, Treasury is unable to consult with the public prior to issuing the forms, however the Treasury has ample experience designing other similar forms in a way that is clear and minimizes burden. Treasury requests approval of the submission by April 11, 2020. Given the inability to seek public comment during such a short timeframe, Treasury requests a waiver from the requirement to publish notice in the Federal Register seeking public comment during the period of OMB review.
