perpetual_docket

1 = a standing/perpetual docket carrying a sentinel comment-end date (2050 or later; in practice 2099/2100 — agency guidance and exemption dockets that never close). 0 = an ordinary docket with a real deadline. NULL = no end date reported. The site's Open-for-Comment surface EXCLUDES perpetual_docket = 1 by default, so the site count and the bulk dump answer the same question differently: the dump is complete and includes them.

1 row where agency_id = "DOS" and document_type = "Proposed Rule" sorted by comment_end_date descending
