Cross-jurisdiction analysis
Days the filing office is shut and the federal government is not
The federal calendar has 11 closure days in 2026. State filing offices do not follow it. Across the 54 jurisdictions holding a 2026 calendar, 141 additional closure days are recorded that the federal government does not observe, and 68 instances of a federal holiday on which a state filing office stays open. Puerto Rico adds the most, at 9.

Why this is stored as a delta and not as 53 lists
A state calendar in this record contains only two kinds of row: a day the state closes that the federal government does not, and a federal holiday the state does not observe. The effective closure list for a jurisdiction is computed as the federal baseline minus the second set plus the first. That is why three jurisdictions carry an empty calendar: an empty delta is a verified finding that the state exactly matches the federal calendar, not a missing record. Storing it any other way makes it impossible to tell those two situations apart.
