Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act; P.L. 93-288, as amended; 42 U.S.C. @@5121 et seq.). Although the Public Health Emergency declaration (COVID-19 PHE) under PHSA Section 319, the COVID-19 NEA declaration, and the Stafford Act declarations for COVID-19 all address the pandemic, they are distinct, independent authorities. The COVID-19 PHE and the COVID-19 NEA declaration authorized federal assistance and other activities, and invoked standby authorities. The Stafford Act declarations also authorized federal disaster assistance. Officials subsequently renewed the PHE and NEA declarations to support the pandemic response, but on January 30, 2023, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. announced his Administration's plans for a wind-down period. HHS is planning for the COVID-19 PHE declaration to expire on May 11, 2023, and the President anticipates terminating the COVID-19 NEA declaration on May 11, 2023. Additionally, on January 31, 2023, the House passed H.R. 382, and on February 1, 2023, the House passed H.J.Res. 7. The bills 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 (see CRS Insight for more information).
