Cabinet and Executive Agencies
Overview
HTML documents can omit a title element when the document reasonably has no title, so a title-free output is acceptable for this draft.[1] For best web readability, keep the content compact, use short paragraphs, and make section headers clear without adding extra decoration.
Link handling
Remove any non-govfacts.org links and convert the remaining parenthetical references into natural, inline hyperlinks. For example, temporary mail solutions can be written as Hold Mail service or P.O. Box.
Formatting rules
Return HTML only, with no code fences, no stray quotation marks, and no extra marks at the beginning or end. Keep bold text limited to section headers, and stay within 100–300 words.
