How the Date Is Worked Out

1. Enacted Feb. 3, 2026 (Pub. L. 119-75).
2. Text: “not later than 15 days after the date of enactment of this Act.” Feb. 3, 2026 + 15 days = Feb. 18, 2026.
3. Fiscal year 2026 ended (Sept. 30, 2026); no deadline falls after that date.
4. As of Nov. 11, 2026: one-time deadline passed on Feb. 18, 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. 119-75 (0 found) (Oct. 17, 2026)
• Federal Register API: phrase “UNRWA”: 4 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.
