Take Action

Every time the government makes a change to a survey or a form — or introduces a new survey or form — you have the right to weigh in on that decision.

If you want to tell the government what you think about the changes they are making, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the name of the survey or form.

    The link will bring you to a listing in the "Federal Register" — a daily newsletter filled with the government's regulations, surveys, forms, public meetings, and other actions

  2. Skim the listing to find instructions on how to submit a comment.

    For most listings, this information will be found in a section titled "Addresses"

  3. 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

2026-04-27 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (Regulation C) CFPB Under HMDA, depository institutions and for-profit, non-depository institutions are required to collect, report, and disclose data about originations and purchases of mortgage loans. Additionally, these institutions must report mortgage loan applications that do not result in originations (for example, applications that are denied or withdrawn). These data are used to identify discriminatory lending practices. When originially listed, several public commenters argued that the data collection was overly burdensome, saying the expansion of data collected over time "raises serious questions about marginal utility relative to compliance burden." However, CFPB is not making any changes to the collection at this time. Non-Discrimination
