Hi BMD,
I did the download of MPC's NEAs at Today's Epoch using ST4v Pro, ~1130 EST and 2022 BZ3 wasn't included. After just reading your message, I did a single MP download from the MPC & got the elements for 2022 BZ3 at epoch 2022 Jan 21 0000. Apparently this one hasn't been included in the NEA file yet. I guess this all takes time, especially on a weekend. I don't know how automated their processing is. The addition to the MPDB was very fast for just a single object, so you might try adding it if you really want it in your DB. Much safer than adding the elements yourself. You'll get the Jan 21 epoch elements though.
H=19.87 is pretty big. It's a Mars crosser, >21.4 magnitude & Re 0.83 AU.
