Technically, yes, but some will say that holidays like Easter, which is a religious holiday, or April Fools Day which is a popular holiday are indeed national holidays because so many in the nation see them as holidays, even though they are not federal holidays.
A national holiday is a day recognized and celebrated by the entire country, while a federal holiday is a day designated by the government for federal employees to have a day off work.
It is not a federal holiday as in a paid day off. It is a National Observance. Refer to federal law Title 36 US Code > Subtitle I > Part A > Chapter 1 for a list of this and other National Observances.

One example of a holiday that is not a national holiday in the United States is Halloween, celebrated on October 31st. While it is widely recognized and celebrated across the country, it does not have official status as a federal holiday. Instead, it is considered a cultural or seasonal observance, marked by activities such as trick-or-treating and costume parties.
They are a federal government agency so they would have the same schedule as other federal offices.
