How the Date Is Worked Out

  1. Enacted Aug. 10, 2012 (Pub. L. 112-158).
  2. Text: “Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.” Aug. 10, 2012 + 60 days = Oct. 9, 2012.
  3. Recurs every 90 days, running from the first deadline: Oct. 9, 2012 + k × 90 days.
  4. As of Nov. 11, 2026: next deadline Jan. 24, 2027 (74 days away); previous Oct. 26, 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)

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.
