Recheck of 17 Oct 2026: every copy of the federalregister.gov page (stored 11 and 17 Oct 2026, including the browser and print copies) is a bot-check page. In this run the Federal Register printing of the order was stored from govinfo.gov (Government Publishing Office), the URL that the stored texts of US-16 and US-24 cite; official_url now points at it. It confirms the title, the number, the signing on 23 Jan 2025, publication on 31 Jan 2025 at 90 FR 8741 (FR Doc. 2025-02172) and the provisions in the summary. That the order has not been revoked rests on the absence of any revocation in the stored files; the implementing instruments in notes rest on the stored texts of US-12, US-13 and US-16, and the remark on EO 14434 on US-26.
