What this source is

The Office of Management and Budget issues a Statement of Administration Policy before the House or Senate takes up a bill on the floor: the Administration's formal written position on that measure, often including whether the President's advisers would recommend a veto. Volume follows the floor schedule, from none to a few on a session day.

Registry notes

Registered 2026-10-06 from the 2026-10-04 source research. Operator ruling 2026-10-06: SAPs are attributed official statements under GUIDE §2, filed as agency releases (AGENCYPR) with document type SAP; titled verbatim and attributed, never characterized. No feed exists; the listing is a WordPress page linking each SAP's PDF under /wp-content/uploads/, which the index_item_path hint selects. Not carried elsewhere: SAPs are not printed in the Federal Register, and the White House news listing and presidential-action feeds do not list them. Probed 2026-10-04 through FAPD's identified probe client: HTTP 200, 3 entries dated inside the 7-day window. Re-verified 2026-10-05 from the operator machine as a brief test, outside the server's budget: 3 of 3 entries dated (2026-09-29, 09-29, 09-30), no Retry-After, no crawl-delay. The position a SAP states lives only in its PDF; reading it is a later, separate decision. A SAP withdrawn after FAPD stored it stays stored, as every capture does. Gate 2 through the new adapter, 2026-10-06 (operator machine, brief test, one request): feed-ok, 3 of 3 window entries dated, each naming its measure (H.R. 9340, S.Res. 852, S.J.Res. 197, the spaced forms included); the listing holds 194 SAP links back to the start of the Administration, bounded to the 7-day window. Coverage (gate 3): every SAP the listing dates inside the window; title, date and PDF link only. The three in the window when activated are a week old and file as backfill. ACTIVATED 2026-10-06 (operator).

How we ingest it

Channel

HTML index

Method

Parses the dated SAP listing via AgencyClient (statements-of-administration-policy adapter, a listing subclass); stores each SAP's title, date and PDF link, and the bill numbers its title names, without fetching the PDF (mode feed-only).

Adapter

statements-of-administration-policy

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 3 item(s) in the last 14 days; most recent 2026-10-06; 7 of 909 request(s) to www.whitehouse.gov returned no content.

This label has held since 2026-10-06T12:25:01Z (UTC) and was last re-checked 2026-10-06T14:20:06Z (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.
