  2. Deadline runs from an event, not a calendar date: 90 days after making a determination under subsection (a) with respect to whether the Central Bank of Syria is a financial institution of primary money la.
  3. No date can be set until the triggering event is publicly documented.

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. 116-92 (0 found) (Oct. 17, 2026)
  • Federal Register API: phrase “Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act”: 8 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.
