From the GPO website here: https://www.gpo.gov/docs/default-sou...nce-report.pdf

for FY2022 the goal is, “ Continue to strengthen the quality assurance programs, process and equipment improvement projects, and customer focused initiatives needed to reach steady state production, quality packaging, and distribution systems for a long term NextGen Passport production program.”

this is seeming like 2022 announcement at the earliest. Maybe even 2023. Very very odd that a European site would get the jump on the announcement a year or more before the issuing agency.
