Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry's terms forbid automated searches
The registry's terms, or the law behind it, rule out automated or third-party searches, so ezOIG doesn't run them.
Not open to the public
The agency doesn't publish it. Only the agency, or employers it authorizes, can check it.
