Extension of Non-Statutory Deadlines; Supplemental Notice Waiving Regulations

2 ?Supplemental Notice Waiving Regulations, Extension of Non-Statutory Deadlines, Docket No. AD20-11-000 (Jan. 22, 2021) (January 2021 Notice).
The National Emergency continues. 3 However, companies and individuals are returning to their workplaces or are determining how to permit a safe return to their workplaces in the coming months. Therefore, there is good cause to extend through and including January 1, 2022, waiver of the Commission's regulations that require that filings with the Commission be notarized or supported by sworn declarations as provided in the January 2021 Notice. 4
