| 2026-12-01 | Heightened Import Disclosures for Supply Chain Visibility | DHS/CBP | CBP is exploring a major expansion of the data collected on goods imported into the United States, including foreign customs records and more detailed identifiers for manufacturers, shippers, exporters, and other supply-chain participants. The agency is also considering replacing or supplementing its existing manufacturer identifier with standardized global business identifiers and integrating the new information into AI and other supply-chain tracing systems. The notice raises broader data questions about entity identification, data quality and verification, interoperability with existing federal trade systems, and confidentiality. | Economy |
| 2026-11-16 | Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic Supplement | DOC/Census | Census is planning a major 2027 field test of the CPS ASEC, the source of official national poverty estimates and major data on income and health insurance. For the first time, Census will test allowing people to complete the ASEC online themselves rather than only through an interviewer, as part of a broader CPS modernization planned for 2027–2029. Because converting an interviewer-administered survey to internet self-response requires changes throughout the questionnaire, Census will test whether the new format and revised questions produce comparable estimates of poverty, income, health insurance, and other measures. About 50,000 households will participate. | Economic Justice |
| 2026-11-16 | National Survey on Drug Use and Health | HHS/SAMHSA | SAMHSA is proposing several changes to the 2027 NSDUH, a major federal source of data on substance use and mental health. The survey would add questions about use of GLP-1 medications and several types of psychiatric medications, use of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and other crisis services, and reinstate questions about workplace drug and alcohol testing. SAMHSA would also change how it measures use of multiple substances by focusing on substances used within the same 30-day period, along with several smaller changes intended to improve or update existing drug-use questions. | Drug Use |
| 2026-11-13 | Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant | DHS/USCIS | USCIS is revising Form I-360, which is used by several groups seeking immigration benefits, including certain widows and widowers, survivors of domestic violence, abused children and parents, religious workers, Special Immigrant Juveniles, and certain Afghan and Iraqi nationals who assisted the U.S. government. USCIS has not provided information in this notice explaining what is changing on the form. | Immigration |
| 2026-11-13 | Immigrant Petition by Standalone Investor, Immigrant Petition by Regional Center Investor | DHS/USCIS | USCIS is revising Forms I-526 and I-526E, which immigrant investors use to petition for permanent residence through the EB-5 program, including investments through regional centers. USCIS has not provided information in this notice explaining what is changing on the forms. | Immigration |
| 2026-11-13 | Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver | DHS/USCIS | USCIS is revising Form I-485, the application people use to apply for lawful permanent resident status (a green card) from within the United States. USCIS has not provided information in this notice explaining what is changing on the form. | Immigration |
| 2026-11-13 | Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility | DHS/USCIS | USCIS is revising Form I-601, which people use to seek waivers of certain grounds that would otherwise make them inadmissible to the United States, including in some Temporary Protected Status cases. USCIS has not provided information in this notice explaining what is changing on the form. | Immigration |
| 2026-11-10 | 2026 National Survey of Victim Service Providers | DOJ/BJS | BJS is reinstating the NSVSP, last conducted in 2019, to produce national data on organizations serving victims of crime and abuse. The 2026 survey will collect information from roughly 3,600 active providers on the types of victimization they address, services they provide, the size and composition of their workforce, and their preparedness to respond to mass-violence incidents. | Violence |
| 2026-11-09 | E-Appeal/MSPB Appeal Form | MSPB | MSPB is revising the form federal employees use to appeal personnel actions to reflect recent changes to its regulations. Among other changes, the form removes termination during a probationary or initial service period and negative suitability determinations as appeal categories, narrows the reduction-in-force category to Foreign Service actions, and adds failure to restore an employee following military service or a compensable workplace injury. The changes implement regulatory revisions that took effect September 2 rather than independently changing employees’ appeal rights. | Federal Government |
| 2026-11-09 | NTIA Internet Use Survey | DOC/NTIA | NTIA is seeking public input on a redesign of the Internet Use Survey, the long-running supplement to the Current Population Survey that provides detailed national data on internet access and use. NTIA is considering updates to reflect changes in technology, including AI, connected devices, and how people use the internet, while trying to preserve useful historical comparisons. Importantly, the agency is specifically asking data users which existing questions should remain unchanged, which are important to research and policymaking, what language is outdated, what new questions should be added, and what data are needed to evaluate federal broadband programs. | Science and Technology |
| 2026-11-09 | BOH Workforce Performance Data Collection | HHS/HRSA | HRSA is proposing new reporting requirements for children's hospitals receiving federal graduate medical education funding that would specifically track their involvement in gender-affirming care for minors. Hospitals would report whether they offer this care, whether their curricula include it, and how many people receive training related to it. HHS uses the administration's stigmatizing term “sex rejecting procedures and services” for the care throughout the proposed collection. The change would give HHS new hospital-level information about where gender-affirming care is provided and where health professionals are being trained to provide it, amid the administration's broader efforts to restrict the care and scrutinize providers. | LGBTQI+ |
| 2026-11-09 | Survey of Health Care Providers To Advance Pregnancy Safety Data Collection and Improve Health Communications | HHS/FDA | FDA is proposing a new survey of health care providers to understand why pregnancy exposure registries often struggle to enroll enough patients to produce useful information about medication safety during pregnancy. The study will survey 400 physicians, midwives, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other providers who routinely care for pregnant patients about their awareness and use of pregnancy registries, barriers to referring and enrolling patients, and ideas for improving participation. FDA plans to use the findings to improve pregnancy safety data collection and inform guidance for organizations designing these registries, ultimately helping fill gaps in evidence about the safety of medications during pregnancy. | Reproductive Justice |
| 2026-11-09 | Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot | DOD | The Defense Department is revising the federal forms used by military and overseas voters to register, request absentee ballots, and cast emergency backup ballots. The revised forms would require voters to provide a state driver's-license or ID number if they have one, the last four digits of their Social Security number if they do not, or information from another government-issued ID if neither is available; the Department says these changes clarify existing federal voter-registration requirements. More significantly, the Department is removing the option for U.S. citizens living abroad who have never lived in the United States, arguing that they are not specifically covered by the federal overseas-voting law, even though many states allow some of these citizens to vote based on a parent's former residence. The Department initially sought emergency approval to implement the changes before the 2026 election without the normal advance public-comment period. | N/A |
| 2026-11-09 | VA All Employee Survey (AES) | VA | The AES will survey VA's employees annually on workplace experiences, leadership, management, employee satisfaction, and VA-specific issues, while reporting results from only 10 required core questions to OPM for government-wide FEVS reporting. The notice does not explain what demographic information VA will collect or what employee-level data will be made public, leaving open whether the new system will preserve the ability to analyze differences in federal employees’ workplace experiences by race, ethnicity, sex, age, or other characteristics. | Federal Government |
| 2026-11-03 | Veterans' Employment and Training Service Competitive Grants Programs Reporting | DOL | DOL is revising reporting for the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program, which funds employment and training services for veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness and incarcerated veterans. The Department is moving grantee reporting into a new online system and revising its performance data, including eliminating some unspecified demographic categories and performance measures while adding information on participant eligibility, training activities, and registered apprenticeships. DOL says the changes are intended to simplify reporting and focus collection on essential program data, but the notice does not identify which demographic information or performance measures would be lost. | Veterans |
| 2026-11-02 | Revision of Operations Notice for the Expansion of the Moving to Work Demonstration Program | HUD | HUD is proposing revisions to the Moving to Work demonstration, which gives participating public housing agencies broad flexibility to modify federal housing-assistance rules. Among other changes, HUD would eliminate requirements to consider disparate racial or other impacts in certain program and impact analyses, loosen limits on work requirements and time-limited assistance, and give agencies greater flexibility in using housing-assistance funds for locally designed programs. The notice also includes numerous technical and administrative updates. | Housing |
| 2026-11-02 | Survey on Use of Funds Under Title II, Part A | ED | ED is renewing without change its annual survey of how states use Title II, Part A funds to support teachers, principals, and other school leaders. The survey collects information from every state, D.C., and Puerto Rico on how funds are spent, including how states use them to improve equitable access to teachers for low-income and minority students, as well as data on teacher and school-leader evaluation and retention. | Education |
| 2026-10-27 | National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Programs | HHS/HRSA | HRSA is revising National Health Service Corps loan repayment applications to replace “disadvantaged background” with “vulnerable background” when determining eligibility for a statutory funding priority. The new framework emphasizes educational, geographic, and economic vulnerability, using indicators such as poverty, first-generation college attendance, under-resourced schools, language barriers, disability, and rural or isolated communities. The change continues HRSA’s broader shift away from “disadvantaged” terminology toward more specific socioeconomic and geographic measures of vulnerability. | Economic Justice |
| 2026-10-27 | Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) benefits | OPM | OPM is re-establishing a data-sharing agreement with the Social Security Administration to match certain FERS disability and survivor annuitants against Social Security benefit records. OPM will use the results to determine eligibility for federal retirement benefits and calculate statutory offsets based on Social Security payments. | Data Sharing |
| 2026-10-27 | 2027 National Training, Education, and Workforce Survey | NSF | NSF is reinstating and substantially expanding the National Training, Education, and Workforce Survey for 2027, combining it with two longstanding surveys of college graduates and doctorate recipients to create a single source of data on Americans’ education, training, employment, and pathways into science, engineering, and skilled technical work. The consolidated questionnaire has been tested, but the notice does not provide enough detail to assess how individual questions or measures will change. | Education |
