- Registry notes
- Subscribed and confirmed 2026-07-29 (sender [address withheld]). Sibling of nhtsa-press, which returns HTTP 403 to our identified client. NHTSA operates its own bulletin account rather than sharing the departmental one, giving finer topic control than expected. No bulletin observed as of the 2026-07-29 evening poll (~45-minute window); subscription confirmed, window open — activate on first parsed bulletin.
How we ingest it
- Channel
- email bulletin
- Method
- Subscription bulletins to the project mailbox, ingested by the email adapter (src/fapd/email_sources.py; raw RFC-5322 capture, DKIM verify-and-archive).
- Adapter
- govdelivery
- Requests
- none — bulletins are delivered to the project mailbox by the agency's own subscription service
- Authenticity
- every message's DKIM signature is checked on arrival and the result is disclosed on each item; a failing signature is labeled, never silently dropped
- Capture and hash
- captured raw content is hashed (SHA-256) into the day's committed provenance manifest, hash-chained day to day (PROVENANCE.md)
