Checks

PASS authority_active

fields: allowed_to_operate
UNKNOWN bipd_on_file
Absence from the gap release is not proof of coverage; the release only lists carriers with no filing. Query the live API to confirm.

No active order. Most recent was 2009-08-30 (Unsatisfactory = Unfit), rescinded 2009-09-01. (The raw status field still reads ACTIVE; the rescind date is what we act on, because that column is known to be stale.)
