Federal page does not establish 2026 POW/MIA observance

What the federal page says

The linked Federal Register page does not establish National POW/MIA Recognition Day for 2026. It displays a notice restricting programmatic access because of automated scraping of FederalRegister.gov and eCFR.gov.

The page directs automated users toward Federal Register and Electronic Code of Federal Regulations developer APIs. It asks human visitors who encounter the restriction to complete a CAPTCHA and select “Request Access.” It also says visitors may be asked to complete the test again as part of the sites’ security measures.

The page identifies itself as part of an official United States government website. It offers a site-help form for people experiencing CAPTCHA problems or seeking access for a wider internet address range. The form requests a name and email address, permits an attachment and warns users not to submit confidential information or personal data.

What it does not establish

The access page is not a notice, proclamation or other record describing the 2026 observance. It does not state when National POW/MIA Recognition Day will occur in 2026, identify an official who has designated it or describe any ceremonies or federal actions connected to it.

A dated government record would be needed to verify those details. Such a record would need its own title, publication information and text explaining the federal action. The access page does not link to a primary record for the 2026 observance; its references concern technical access to federal websites and their developer systems.
