How the Date Is Worked Out
- Enacted Aug. 10, 2012 (Pub. L. 112-158).
- The provision states no deadline, so none is shown.
Delivery Status
Not publicly verifiable
Public Evidence
- No public document located that shows delivery.
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.
Review
- Machine-extracted by rule from the public law text; awaiting named human review.
