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

| 2026-08-06 | Rural Health Care Services Outreach Program Measures | HHS/HRSA | HRSA is revising annual performance reporting for Rural Health Care Services Outreach grantees by reorganizing existing measures, adding nine maternal-health measures for Healthy Rural Hometown Initiative grantees, and adding or revising questions about whether funded services can be sustained after the grant ends. | Healthcare |

| 2026-08-05 | Public Health/Public Safety Strategies to Reduce Drug Overdose | HHS/CDC | CDC is revising its data collection on public health and public safety overdose-prevention strategies to remove the objective of identifying disparities in access to, or the effectiveness of, those strategies. The collection will continue to examine program implementation and ways to improve overdose responses, but will no longer expressly assess whether interventions reach or work equally well for different populations. CDC says only that the disparities objective is “no longer needed.” | Healthcare |
| 2026-08-03 | Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA) | DOJ/BJS | The CTLEA, last fielded in 2019, collects data on all tribal law enforcement agencies operating in the U.S. Data collected include the number of sworn staff by tribe and type of agency, arrests and call for service and functions performed by each agency.

| 2026-08-03 | GSAR: Acquisition of Information and Communication Technology | GSA | GSA is proposing a new contract clause for federal purchases of large language model AI systems, focused on safeguarding government data, clarifying data ownership, requiring privacy and security controls, and flowing those requirements down to AI developers, operators, integrators, and service providers. Of note, the clause would require contractors to follow “unbiased AI principles,” including truthfulness, neutrality, and avoiding “partisan or ideological judgments." | Science and Technology |
| 2026-08-03 | 2026 Mandatory Data Collection for Incarcerated People's Communications Services | FCC | FCC is proposing to revise their mandatory data collection from prison and jail communications providers, which the agency will use to set permanent rate caps for phone and video calls by incarcerated people. The proposal would streamline earlier reporting. Notably, it makes changes to how it treats provider “safety and security” costs, facility payments, payment-processing costs, and other expenses. Historically, including more of those costs in rate-setting ultimately makes communication more expensive for incarcerated people and their families. | Criminal Justice |
| 2026-08-03 | Personnel Management in Agencies: Strategic Human Capital Management | OPM | In addition to making many other changes to federal workforce planning and budgeting, this proposed rule would reduce the common questions required on the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey from 16 to 10 and allow agencies greater discretion over what survey results they publish. The changes could make it harder to compare employee experiences across agencies and over time, while reducing public transparency into federal workforce conditions. | Federal Government |
