How the Date Is Worked Out

  1. Enacted Dec. 20, 2019 (Pub. L. 116-92).
  2. Text: “Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.” Dec. 20, 2019 + 180 days = June 17, 2020.
  3. Act repealed by Pub. L. 119-60, sec. 8369(a) (Dec. 18, 2025); no deadline falls after that date.
  4. As of Nov. 11, 2026: one-time deadline passed on June 17, 2020.

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)

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.
