Open this file to build a calendar of dates with the period each one covers. One row is one registration, reporting, payment or plan date.

The rows were read from 66 source documents between September 29, 2026 and November 5, 2026. Where a source states an effective date, it falls between December 11, 2021 and February 15, 2032.

9 of the 189 rows are pending. A pending row stays in the file with an empty value and a stated reason, so you can see which figures are not yet published and filter them out before you compute.
