An emergency period may be extended within a State or any portion thereof for a maximum of six months, if the State, or in the case of Tribal land, a Tribal government, provides written, public notice to the Commission stipulating that an extension is necessary in furtherance of the recovery related to COVID–19. The Commission shall, within 48 hours after receiving such notice, post the notice on the public website of the Commission. The Commission shall adopt, on an expedited basis, any regulations needed to carry out this section.
