What this source is

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's bulletins are its numbered supervisory issuances to national banks and federal savings associations: guidance, handbook revisions, rescissions, and notices of rulemaking. They are a separate series from its news releases, typically several a month.

Registry notes

Registered and ACTIVATED 2026-10-05 (operator), from the 2026-10-04 source research: OCC's RSS index page lists a Bulletins feed beside News Releases. Probed 2026-10-04 through FAPD's identified probe client. Re-verified 2026-10-05 from the operator machine as a brief test, outside the server's budget, through FAPD's identified probe client (robots allows, no crawl-delay, no Retry-After, HTTP 200): 10 items, 10/10 dated in RFC 822 form without a weekday, no GUIDs (identity is the bulletin link, which carries the year and bulletin number). Newest item 2026-09-30; its own page states the same date; the sample bulletin extracted at 6,333 characters. Coverage (gate 3): 10 items spanned 2026-08-27 to 09-30 (seven in September), well inside the feed's depth at an hourly poll; descriptions are ~390-character summaries, so full mode. Overlap: an OCC rulemaking also appears in the Federal Register, which govinfo-fr already collects; the two are separate documents (the bulletin is OCC's notice to banks), not merged.

How we ingest it

Channel

RSS feed

Method

Polls OCC's Bulletins RSS feed via AgencyClient, then fetches each new bulletin for full text (mode full). The feed carries no GUIDs, so identity is the bulletin link.

Poll cadence

about every 60 minutes while the collector runs

Request budget

the agency class: at most 3,000 requests per day shared across every agency web source, counted from the fetch log (failed requests count too)

Politeness

robots.txt is honored as observed — including each host's crawl-delay, exactly — and every request identifies itself as fapd/0.1 (Free Agentic Publication Digester; +https://fapd.info/bot.html; contact: hustleyourcity@gmail.com); a refusal is recorded, never evaded

Capture and hash

captured raw content is hashed (SHA-256) into the day's committed provenance manifest, hash-chained day to day (PROVENANCE.md)

Ingestion health

●Ingestion health: delivering 10 item(s) in the last 14 days; most recent 2026-10-05; 0 of 28 request(s) to www.occ.gov returned no content.

This label has held since 2026-10-05T23:57:58Z (UTC) and was last re-checked 2026-10-06T01:52:08Z (UTC).

Counts are of our own requests, retries included. A 4xx or 5xx is the server declining to return content — that may be load, maintenance, on-demand generation, or a limit the publisher sets, and we cannot tell which from outside. Nothing here is a measurement of the publisher.

Ingestion statistics

These figures describe this project's ingestion of this source — items we recorded and requests we made — and nothing else. They are not a measurement of the publisher.
