Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act; P.L. 93-288, as amended; 42 U.S.C. @@5121 et seq.). The Public Health Emergency declaration (COVID-19 PHE) under PHSA Section 319 and the COVID-19 NEA declaration authorized federal assistance and other activities, and invoked standby authorities. Officials subsequently renewed the PHE and NEA declarations to support the pandemic response. Absent other actions, the COVID-19 PHE declaration will expire on April 11, 2023, and the COVID-19 NEA declaration will terminate on March 1, 2023. On January 30, 2023, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. announced his Administration's plans to extend both declarations to May 11, 2023, providing a wind- down period. On January 31, 2023, the House passed H.R. 382, and on February 1, 2023, the House passed H.J.Res 7. The bills, if enacted, would respectively terminate the COVID-19 PHE and NEA declarations upon the date of enactment. On February 9, 2023, FEMA announced that it will close all of the COVID-19 disaster declaration incident periods on May 11, 2023. Processes to Terminate the Section 319 PHE and NEA Declarations PHEs under PHSA Section 319 expire 90 days after the initial declaration date, or upon an HHS Secretary's declaration that a PHE no longer exists, whichever happens first. Since the initial COVID-19 PHE declaration on January 31, 2020, it has been renewed twelve times (2020: April, July, October; 2021: January, April, July, October; 2022: January, April, July, October; 2023: January).
