How the Date Is Worked Out

1. Enacted Aug. 10, 2012 (Pub. L. 112-158).
2. Text: “Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.” Aug. 10, 2012 + 180 days = Feb. 6, 2013.
3. Recurs every 180 days, running from the first deadline: Feb. 6, 2013 + k × 180 days.
4. As of Nov. 11, 2026: next deadline Nov. 25, 2026 (14 days away); previous May 29, 2026.

Evidence Searched

• GovInfo Congressionally Mandated Reports collection: 1,209 packages listed; titles searched for Middle East terms; 55 State, Defense, Treasury and executive-office summaries checked for citations to Pub. L. 112-158 (0 found) (Oct. 17, 2026)
• Federal Register API: phrase “Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act”: 60 document titles searched (Oct. 17, 2026)
• MEF hand review: evidence.json, items with a link and a note on what the document shows (Oct. 17, 2026)

A status of “Reported late by GAO, committee or agency” appears only with a linked GAO, committee or agency statement. Reports sent only to committees, or in classified form, leave no public trace; their absence here is not evidence of a missed deadline.
