Federal Weekly includes an item only when a current primary official record supports its status, jurisdiction, affected businesses, consequence, and operative dates. Local reporting may lead us to a record but is never the evidence entered here. Proposals remain labeled as proposals until final action is documented.
The live tracker is updated when a source materially changes. A dated monthly snapshot preserves what the docket showed at that cutoff. Substantive errors receive a public correction; routine re-verification does not create a cosmetic modification date.
