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
