Abstract: CARES Act provides authority to waive statutes and regulations for COVID-19 response, regular Federal Register notices provide waiver relief for disasters in specific calendar years for areas in a presidentially declared Major Disaster Declaration (MDD), and any future emergency will list specific waivers. From the notice listing specific waivers, a checklist will be created for respondents to note which waivers were subsequently used for reporting compliance.
