For most listings, this information will be found in a section titled "Addresses"
- Write in to tell the government what you think!
Most listings allow you to either:
- Send an email to the point of contact for that survey or form
- Send your thoughts to the agency or the White House through the reginfo.gov website

| 2026-06-22 | Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Requirement for Interstate Data Matching to Prevent Multiple Issuances | USDA | Under this collection, State agencies will upload SNAP recipient information to the NAC on a daily basis; query the NAC for duplicate SNAP participation across States when households apply for SNAP benefits, recertify, or add a new household member; and verify any questionable and unclear information with other States. When States have identified possible duplicate participation through the NAC and verified the information, they issue a notice of match results or a combined notice of match results and adverse action when applicable. | Food Access |
| 2026-06-22 | Treasury and SSA Data Sharing Agreement | SSA | Under this agreement, Treasury will disclose savings security data to SSA. SSA will use the data to determine continued eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) applicants and recipients, or the correct benefit amount for recipients who either did not report or who incorrectly reported their ownership of savings securities. | Data Sharing |
| 2026-06-22 | Income Driven Repayment Plan Request | ED | This form is used by students to enroll in, recertify, or change their Income Driven Repayment (IDR) program. Under this listing, ED is implementing or formalizing several changes required by the OBBBA. One especially notable change to the form changes the default for students who no longer qualify for the IDR program in which they're currently enrolled - instead of placing such students into general forbearance while the student submits a new IDR application or changes to a different program they are eligible for, ED will place them into a standard repayment plan (which generally requires significantly higher monthly payments). | Education |

HHS is revising the survey "to ensure alignment with current priorities such as improving public health interoperability and Make Health Tech Great Again." While details of the revisions are not available in supplemental materials, this survey has historically included many questions on health equity, including questions about sexual orientation and gender identity, that have been removed from similar collections. | Healthcare |
| 2026-06-22 | National Survey of Family Growth | CDC | The NSFG is designed to provide nationally representative, scientifically credible data on factors related to birth and pregnancy rates, family formation and dissolution patterns, and reproductive health.

| 2026-06-16 | Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Performance Measures | ACF | The PREP program provides grants to states, tribes and tribal communities, and community organizations to support evidence-based programs to reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The forms in this collection were used to assess overall program performance and to better understand the characteristics of youth involved in programming; youth sexual risk behaviors and behaviors related to adulthood preparation prior to program participation; and youth behavior intentions at program exit. ACF seems to be making significant changes to the collection that would result in 40% less questions, but they have not made any supplemental materials available describing the changes. Historically, these forms have asked about things like sexual orientation, sexual activity, pregnancy, and contraceptive use. | Sex Education |

NCES appears to be making changes to the questionnaire but doesn't explain what changes are being made. Notably, this listing indicates that NCES "has removed...
