Research notes
Negative search: Federal Register full text since 2025-01-20 for detailee and for
"Office of the Secretary" detail restricted to the Commerce Department agency slug; a jq pass over
every in-window Federal Register record whose agency is Commerce Department looking for departmental
administrative orders (only Foreign-Trade Zone reorganizations and the NEPA order, FR 2025-12272,
turned up); and presidential-actions.ndjson for detail.
This is one of the minor tier’s unverifiable-by-construction asks (.scratch/lower-tiers/plan.md):
returning detailees is an internal personnel action with no public instrument at any point, so
not started here records “no public record”, not “demonstrably not done”.
