This record checks, live on 2026-10-12, which \"As of\" date each of two title groups is\n*actually* published at on GovInfo (the authenticated annual-edition source, govinfo.gov/app/collection/CFR).\n\n## Probe (GovInfo's public Collections API, published DEMO_KEY)\n```\ncurl -s \"https://api.govinfo.gov/collections/CFR/2026-01-01T00:00:00Z?offset=0&pageSize=100&api_key=DEMO_KEY\"\ncurl -s \"https://api.govinfo.gov/collections/CFR/2025-01-01T00:00:00Z?offset=0&pageSize=100&api_key=DEMO_KEY\"\n```\n\n## Observed\nQuerying from 2026-01-01 onward, title 7 (\"Agriculture\"), title 12 (\"Banks and Banking\") and title\n15 (\"Commerce and Foreign Trade\") each have a package dated `2026-01-01` (`CFR-2026-title7-vol14`,\netc.) — their current annual edition is fully up to the start of this year, as expected for a\nJanuary-1 title.\n\nTitle 42 (\"Public Health\"), title 49 (\"Transportation\") and title 50 (\"Wildlife and Fisheries\") each\nshow their *most recent* package dated `2025-10-01` (`CFR-2025-title42-...`) in both the\n2025-01-01-forward and 2026-01-01-forward queries — no `CFR-2026-title42-...` package exists yet.\nToday (2026-10-12) is 11 days past the October-1 cutoff these titles are nominally published \"as\nof,\" and GovInfo has not yet published that edition.\n\n## How observed\n2026-10-12T21:00:39Z–21:00:59Z, `curl` GET against `api.govinfo.gov`, the published `DEMO_KEY`\n(documented at api.data.gov; rate-limited — later calls in this session got `429 OVER_RATE_LIMIT`\nand were not retried, per house rule against retrying third-party refusals).\n\n## Why it matters\n\"The current CFR annual edition\" names a different calendar date depending on which title you ask\nabout, and even that nominal date can already be stale by the time you check — the publication\nitself runs behind its own cutoff.
