| Due Date | Collection | Agency | Summary | Main Issues |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-11 | Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) & Temporary Expanded PSLF (TEPSLF) Certification and Application | ED | ED is removing a new PSLF attestation that would have required nonprofits and other public-service employers to certify under penalty of perjury that they had not engaged in activities the administration deemed to have a “substantial illegal purpose.” The Department is withdrawing the language after a federal court vacated the underlying rule one day before it was to take effect, preserving PSLF eligibility for workers at organizations the administration might otherwise have disqualified. No other changes are being made to the form. | Education |
| 2026-09-11 | Maternal and Child Health Bureau Performance Measures for Discretionary Grant Information System | HHS/HRSA | HRSA is revising the reporting system used by Maternal and Child Health Bureau grantees, formalizing earlier changes that removed gender questions and LGBTQ+ response options; replaced “pregnant/postpartum persons” with “women”; eliminated a health-equity form and many references to DEI, disparities, underrepresented or marginalized groups, social determinants of health, and people with lived experience; and added “Child Health” and “Women’s Health” topic categories. The current notice also changes five forms to use “medically underserved” terminology and removes two training forms because the information is now collected elsewhere. | Healthcare |
| 2026-09-11 | Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) | HHS/CDC | CDC is revising the Medical Monitoring Project, its nationally representative study of adults diagnosed with HIV, after removing questions that identify transgender respondents and transgender sexual partners. The collection replaces sex assigned at birth, including an intersex option, with a binary male-or-female question; deletes gender identity questions; and limits questions about recent sexual partners to male or female, reducing CDC’s ability to measure HIV care, service needs, and outcomes among transgender people. | HIV/AIDS |
| 2026-09-14 | Campus Safety and Security Survey | ED | ED is revising the annual Campus Safety and Security Survey to collect statistics on hazing incidents reported to campus authorities or local police, as required by the Stop Campus Hazing Act. The data will be published alongside other campus crime and safety information. | Education |
| 2026-09-14 | Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Formula | HUD | HUD is seeking comment on possible changes to the formula used to allocate Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding, including proposals to rely less on SBA and FEMA data, base economic-development and infrastructure needs partly on housing damage, and establish different thresholds for metropolitan, rural, and Tribal areas. HUD will continue using its 2025 formula for 2023 and 2024 disasters while it develops a final rule. | Housing |
| 2026-09-14 | Alaska Big Game Guide Use Survey | DOI/FWS | FWS is renaming the Alaska Guide Service Evaluation as the Alaska Big Game Guide Use Survey and removing questions identifying the outfitter and guide. It would also eliminate the entire demographic section, including questions about sex, race and ethnicity, age, residence, education, and household income, reducing the agency’s ability to assess who uses guided refuge services or whether experiences vary across groups. | Civil Rights |
| 2026-09-16 | Juvenile Facility Census Program (JFCP) | DOJ/OJP | The JFCP consists of two separate survey modules: the Youth Population module collects detailed information on individual youth housed in facilities, including demographic details, placement characteristics, and length of stay; the Facility Operations module collects information on resident services, facility features, and operations. DOJ is making changes to both modules, including formalizing changes to gender questions, removing questions on several services, reformatting population total questions, and streamlining questions on mental health. | Criminal Justice |
| 2026-09-18 | Survey of Housing Starts, Sales, and Completions | DOC/Census | The Census Bureau is seeking to continue, without changes, its monthly Survey of Housing Starts, Sales, and Completions, which collects information from builders and property owners on the timing, characteristics, sale, price, and financing of new residential construction. The survey produces federal statistics on housing starts, completions, and new-home sales; estimated reporting burden is increasing modestly because construction projects are taking longer to start, complete, and sell. | Housing |
| 2026-09-18 | Manufacturers' Shipments, Inventories and Orders (M3) Survey | DOC/Census | The Census Bureau is seeking to continue, without changes, its monthly Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories and Orders Survey, which collects data from about 5,000 manufacturers on shipments, new and unfilled orders, and inventories to measure current industrial activity and future production. Paper reporting was phased out in January 2026, with responses now submitted online or by email. | Economy |
| 2026-09-18 | Attending Physician's Certification of Continuing Workers' Compensation Disability | DOL | DOL is seeking approval for a new standardized form for federal employees receiving continuing workers’ compensation benefits to obtain medical certification of their ongoing disability from their attending physician. The form will collect information about continued disability, medical treatment and work capacity, which OWCP will use to determine continued benefit eligibility and payment amounts and to support return-to-work efforts. The form is new, but the underlying requirement to periodically provide medical evidence of continuing disability is longstanding; the new CA-21 largely standardizes information that workers and physicians currently provide through narrative medical reports. | Disability |
| 2026-09-18 | Consumer Price Index Commodities and Services Survey | DOL/BLS | BLS is seeking continued approval for the Consumer Price Index Commodities and Services Survey, which collects prices from retail stores, service providers, doctors’ offices, and other establishments to calculate the commodities and services portion of the CPI. No substantive changes to the collection are proposed. | Economy |
| 2026-09-20 | IRS and Louisiana Data Matching Agreement | IRS | IRS is modifying an existing data-matching agreement used by Louisiana to verify income and determine eligibility and benefit amounts for federally assisted programs. Louisiana can send IRS the names and Social Security numbers of applicants and beneficiaries, and IRS returns detailed unearned-income records, including income type and amount, payer and recipient identifying information, addresses, and account information. Louisiana may run matches monthly for new applicants and annually for all beneficiaries. The modification changes the Louisiana programs participating in the match, with the Department of Children and Family Services no longer participating. | Data Sharing |
| 2026-09-21 | Security Threat Assessment for Individuals Applying for a Hazardous Materials Endorsement for a Commercial Driver's License | DHS/TSA | TSA is renewing the collection used to conduct security-threat assessments for commercial drivers seeking hazardous-materials endorsements, including extensive biographic information, immigration status, criminal history, and fingerprints. TSA is also implementing previously approved enrollment in the FBI’s Rap Back program, which replaces reliance on a one-time fingerprint background check with ongoing notifications to TSA when participating drivers’ fingerprints are associated with new criminal-history information. | Transportation |
| 2026-09-21 | DHS Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Complaint and Privacy Waiver Form | DHS | DHS is seeking to continue its form for submitting complaints about civil-rights and civil-liberties violations involving immigration enforcement, detention, airport screening, disaster programs, and other DHS activities. Although the notice labels the collection a reinstatement “without change,” the prior form expressly identifies gender identity as a protected category, while the notice omits it and instead lists “sex” twice; this may be a drafting error, but it also raises concern that DHS intends to remove gender-identity discrimination from the complaint form without acknowledging a program change. The older form also expressly assures access to interpreters, translated forms, and complaints in languages other than English, making the absence of a proposed form especially important for assessing whether those protections remain. | Civil Rights |
| 2026-09-21 | Transformed—Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) | HHS/CMS | CMS is revising T-MSIS, the national beneficiary- and claims-level Medicaid and CHIP database, to support three changes. States will report updated immigration-status information and whether coverage ended because of a status change or failed verification. States must also report monthly whether adults subject to the Medicaid work requirement met the 80-hour standard, their qualifying activities and exemptions, and whether they were disenrolled for noncompliance. Finally, CMS will add a code separately identifying per-member-per-month home-health payments, which are currently grouped under “other,” to improve oversight of those programs. | Healthcare |
| 2026-09-23 | Modernizing Suspension and Debarment Rules | FCC | FCC is implementing new suspension and debarment requirements across programs including Lifeline, E-Rate, Rural Health Care, Telecommunications Relay Services, and the National Deaf-Blind Equipment Distribution Program. Participants will be required to disclose certain criminal or civil charges, convictions, federal exclusions, and recent terminations of government transactions, and to certify that contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and other downstream partners also comply with federal suspension and debarment rules. The FCC says it will use the information to identify fraud and other misconduct and determine whether applicants and other participants should be permitted to receive federal funds. | Waste, Fraud, and Abuse (WFA) |
| 2026-09-23 | Application To Restore Federal Firearms Rights (Relief From Federal Firearms Disabilities) | DOJ | DOJ is creating a new application for people and entities prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms to seek restoration of their federal firearms rights. The form implements DOJ’s newly finalized process for granting relief from federal firearms prohibitions, reviving a pathway that had effectively been unavailable for more than 30 years. DOJ estimates that approximately 330,000 people or entities will apply each year. | Gun Violence |
| 2026-09-24 | CPS Civic Engagement and Volunteering Supplement | Census | Americorps and Census are seeking approval for the 2027 CPS Civic Engagement and Volunteering Supplement, which measures volunteering and other forms of civic participation. The 2027 questionnaire is unchanged from 2023 and 2025, although AmeriCorps is also clearing alternative wording for possible future internet self-response. Commenters urged AmeriCorps to restore more detailed questions about formal volunteering; AmeriCorps agreed the data would be valuable but said Census limits on supplement length prevent adding them now, and identified questions about types of volunteer organizations and activities as priorities for future rounds. | Civic Engagement |
| 2026-09-24 | NASA Complaint of Discrimination Form 1355 | NASA | NASA is revising its discrimination complaint form to remove gender-related reporting options and replace references to “gender identity” with “sex,” which NASA says aligns the form with current executive orders and federal requirements. The form continues to cover complaints based on sex, including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions. Other changes update contact, Privacy Act, and administrative information. | Civil Rights |
| 2026-09-24 | DOD and HHS Matching Program | DOD | DOD and CMS are establishing a matching program to verify Medicare enrollment for military health system beneficiaries and determine their eligibility for TRICARE benefits. DoD will match identifying information for eligible beneficiaries against CMS Medicare records and use the results to update DEERS with current Medicare enrollment information. | Data Sharing |
