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 1 year, running from the first deadline: Feb. 6, 2013 + k × 1 year.
  4. As of Nov. 11, 2026: next deadline Feb. 6, 2027 (87 days away); previous Feb. 6, 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)

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.
