I fully expected that this registry is an automated system.

I'm struggling to understand why this system would be offline while the FTS website is still online: https://www.ftc.gov/

Is there a technical reason for the registry to go offline, or is it an intentional casualty of the power struggle in DC?

If you look at the wayback machine, it was offline with a similar message during the 2013 and 2018/2019 shutdowns, too.
