59th Presidential Inauguration NSSE Designation Expanded

The Department of Homeland Security announced on January 12 that the designation of the 59th Presidential Inauguration as a National Special Security Event (NSSE) would be expanded following the events at the Capitol and requests from stakeholders. Pursuant to Presidential Policy Directive-22, the inauguration was previously declared an NSSE from January 19, 2021 to January 21, 2021. However, in response to a number of requests from Congress and Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington, DC, the NSSE period began on January 13.
