Statutory Text

(1) a report that assesses whether equipment provided under section 1236 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. “Buck” McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113–291; 128 Stat. 3558) and designated for Kurdish Peshmerga forces is being provided in a timely manner; and

How the Date Is Worked Out

  1. Enacted Dec. 23, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-159).
  2. Text: “Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.” Dec. 23, 2024 + 90 days = Mar. 23, 2025.
  3. Sec. 1226 ends subsection (a) (Dec. 23, 2026); no deadline falls after that date.
  4. Recurs every 120 days, running from the first deadline: Mar. 23, 2025 + k × 120 days.
  5. As of Nov. 11, 2026: next deadline Nov. 13, 2026 (2 days away); previous July 16, 2026.

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. 118-159 (0 found) (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.
