BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Emergency Declaration was first issued on March 13, 2020, in response to the national state of emergency. The declaration is meant to provide regulatory relief to motor carriers and drivers providing direct assistance in support of relief efforts related to the COVID-19 state of emergency. FMCSA has extended the declaration numerous times since, although tightening the eligibility requirements with each iteration.
