Message from George Fischer, Director of Regulatory Affairs: COVID-19

Once again I hope this finds you safe and healthy! As we move toward emerging from this pandemic, I wanted to share a one-pager onto which RCMA has signed with the larger roofing industry coalition, entitled “Back to Work on Americas Roofs”. The coalition expects to work toward a press release in the coming weeks.

As an FYI, we expect that there will likely be another round of relief coming (CARES 2.0) with expected additional funding for the PPP.
I have attached a few other documents you may find of interest:

DOL Issues
Paycheck Protection Program
FEMA Fact Sheet

The NAM State Operations COVID Snapshot was last updated May 1 at 5pm EDT, and is attached here for your convenience.

Key state updates include:

  • Ohio issued a phased reopening plan beginning on May 1
  • In Indiana, Gov. Holcomb announced phase II of the state’s reopening to play out during the first part of May
  • In Illinois, Gov. Pritzker’s stay at home extension is published with suggested best practices for manufacturers
  • Florida Gov. DeSantis outlined business guidelines under a partial reopening set to begin on May 4
  • Minnesota extended its stay at home order through May 18, while loosening restrictions to allow curbside pickup from retail businesses
  • Arizona moved to partially reopen nonessential retail businesses in a new order on April 29

The Federal Reserve has announced that it is establishing a Main Street Lending Program to support lending to small and medium-sized businesses that were in sound financial condition before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This program targets small and medium-sized businesses (less than 15,000 employees or $5B in net revenue for 2019) that were unable to access the PPP or that require additional financial support after receiving a PPP loan. Main Street loans are not forgivable. Page 9 of the FAQ lists eligibility criteria for the program.

Please feel free to contact me at your convenience with comments or questions.

Be well and stay safe.

With kindest regards,

George
