| 2026-10-20 | Faculty Loan Repayment Program | HHS/HRSA | HRSA is revising its Faculty Loan Repayment Program, which provides loan repayment to health professionals from disadvantaged backgrounds who serve as faculty at health-professions schools. HRSA would replace its “disadvantaged background” assessment with a “vulnerable background” assessment focused specifically on geographic/educational and economic disadvantage. Indicators would include attending under-resourced schools, being a first-generation college student, experiencing educational language barriers, low family income, Pell Grant eligibility, or family receipt of public benefits. The revision also adds forms for employer loan-repayment obligations and twice-yearly verification of participants’ employment. | Education |
| 2026-10-20 | Medicaid Drug Use Review (DUR) Program | HHS/CMS | CMS is renewing its Medicaid Drug Use Review (DUR) data collection, part of a longstanding program requiring state Medicaid agencies and managed care plans to analyze prescription claims for potentially inappropriate or medically unnecessary care, fraud, abuse, and unusual prescribing, dispensing, or patient behavior. States use claims data to identify prescribing patterns and potential problems and may intervene with individual physicians or pharmacists; they also report annually to CMS on their DUR activities. The collection has legitimate patient-safety and program-integrity purposes, but the breadth of the underlying claims analysis is notable as HHS increasingly uses claims data and fraud authorities to scrutinize politically targeted forms of care. The same infrastructure could potentially be used to identify and investigate providers or prescribing patterns involving gender-affirming care or other disfavored treatments, although this notice does not itself propose such targeting or create a new prescription-claims database. | Healthcare |
| 2026-10-20 | Understanding Participant Experiences in SNAP E&T | USDA | USDA is proposing a new qualitative study of how SNAP participants experience work requirements and Employment and Training (E&T) programs. Researchers will conduct in-depth and participant-led “photovoice” interviews in four states, including two with mandatory E&T and two with voluntary programs, examining whether participants understand work requirements, their experiences accessing training and services, and barriers they encounter while navigating SNAP E&T. USDA says the findings will inform recommendations for improving customer service and connecting participants with employment and training services. | Food Access |
| 2026-10-20 | HEA Title II Report Cards on State Teacher Credentialing and Preparation | ED | ED is revising the annual Title II reports used to collect and publish information about teacher preparation programs and state teacher credentialing systems. The reports collect information including teacher-preparation enrollment and demographics, completion rates, credentialing requirements and assessment pass rates, teacher shortages, and programs identified as low-performing. ED says the revision will remove several items it considers “no longer needed” and update reporting instructions to reflect the Department’s current organizational structure, but the notice does not identify which data elements are being eliminated. | Education |
| 2026-10-22 | Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) & Temporary Expanded PSLF (TEPSLF) Certification and Application | ED | ED is revising the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) application to remove a requirement that employers attest, under penalty of perjury, that they have not engaged in activities with a “substantial illegal purpose.” The requirement was intended to implement the administration’s rule excluding employees of organizations deemed to engage in certain “illegal” activities from PSLF, but a federal judge vacated that rule on June 30, one day before it was scheduled to take effect. ED says it is removing the attestation to comply with the court order and making no other changes to the form. | Education |
| 2026-10-26 | Nondiscrimination in Federal Financial Assistance Programs | GSA | GSA is proposing unspecified revisions to two forms used to collect civil-rights compliance information from state agencies that receive and distribute federal surplus property. The forms collect information on discrimination complaints and findings and accessibility for people with disabilities, but GSA does not explain what it proposes to change and has not made the revised forms available with the notice. | Civil Rights |
| 2026-10-26 | CMS + Treasury Matching Program | HHS/CMS | CMS is renewing a data-matching agreement with Treasury’s Do Not Pay system to identify Medicare providers and suppliers who may be ineligible to bill the program. CMS will match identifying information, including names, addresses, tax IDs, dates of birth, and sex, against Treasury records to identify potentially disqualified providers, suspend or revoke billing privileges, recover improper payments, and prevent future payments. The program has existed since 2020, and CMS must verify matches before taking adverse action. | Waste, Fraud, and Abuse (WFA) |
| 2026-10-26 | NIH Policy on Sharing Summary Level Study Results With Clinical Research Participants | HHS/NIH | NIH is seeking input on a draft policy that would require researchers conducting NIH-supported clinical studies to share plain-language summaries of study findings directly with participants, rather than only publishing results for researchers and the public. The policy would apply broadly to NIH-funded clinical research, with exceptions when sharing results is inappropriate. NIH is also seeking input on participant preferences, accessibility, implementation costs, and best practices. | Healthcare |
| 2026-10-26 | Stronger Connections Grant Program Annual Performance Report | ED | ED is substantially reducing reporting for the $1 billion Stronger Connections Grant program, which funds high-need school districts to support safe and healthy students. Instead of annual performance reports, states would submit only one final report, and ED is also reducing the number of data elements collected. The changes cut estimated reporting burden by about 85%, but also mean ED will have substantially less information during implementation to monitor how the program is working, identify problems, provide technical assistance, or build evidence about approaches used in high-need schools. | Education |
| 2026-10-26 | Application for Competitive Grant Program | DOC/NTIA | NTIA is revising the application for the Digital Equity Competitive Grant Program, which funds projects addressing barriers to broadband adoption, digital skills, and access to connectivity. Notably, NTIA has renamed the program the “Competitive Grant Program” in this notice and removed “digital equity” from its description, even though the underlying statute still establishes the Digital Equity Competitive Grant Program to advance digital equity and inclusion among specified underserved populations. NTIA identifies this as a revision of the existing collection but has not yet published the revised forms, so it is not yet clear what substantive application requirements may also change. | Science and Technology |
| 2026-10-27 | Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) benefits | OPM | OPM is re-establishing a data-sharing agreement with the Social Security Administration to match certain FERS disability and survivor annuitants against Social Security benefit records. OPM will use the results to determine eligibility for federal retirement benefits and calculate statutory offsets based on Social Security payments. | Data Sharing |
| 2026-10-27 | 2027 National Training, Education, and Workforce Survey | NSF | NSF is reinstating and substantially expanding the National Training, Education, and Workforce Survey for 2027, combining it with two longstanding surveys of college graduates and doctorate recipients to create a single source of data on Americans’ education, training, employment, and pathways into science, engineering, and skilled technical work. The consolidated questionnaire has been tested, but the notice does not provide enough detail to assess how individual questions or measures will change. | Education |
| 2026-10-27 | National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Programs | HHS/HRSA | HRSA is revising National Health Service Corps loan repayment applications to replace “disadvantaged background” with “vulnerable background” when determining eligibility for a statutory funding priority. The new framework emphasizes educational, geographic, and economic vulnerability, using indicators such as poverty, first-generation college attendance, under-resourced schools, language barriers, disability, and rural or isolated communities. The change continues HRSA’s broader shift away from “disadvantaged” terminology toward more specific socioeconomic and geographic measures of vulnerability. | Economic Justice |
| 2026-11-02 | Revision of Operations Notice for the Expansion of the Moving to Work Demonstration Program | HUD | HUD is proposing revisions to the Moving to Work demonstration, which gives participating public housing agencies broad flexibility to modify federal housing-assistance rules. Among other changes, HUD would eliminate requirements to consider disparate racial or other impacts in certain program and impact analyses, loosen limits on work requirements and time-limited assistance, and give agencies greater flexibility in using housing-assistance funds for locally designed programs. The notice also includes numerous technical and administrative updates. | Housing |
| 2026-11-02 | Survey on Use of Funds Under Title II, Part A | ED | ED is renewing without change its annual survey of how states use Title II, Part A funds to support teachers, principals, and other school leaders. The survey collects information from every state, D.C., and Puerto Rico on how funds are spent, including how states use them to improve equitable access to teachers for low-income and minority students, as well as data on teacher and school-leader evaluation and retention. | Education |
| 2026-11-03 | Veterans' Employment and Training Service Competitive Grants Programs Reporting | DOL | DOL is revising reporting for the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program, which funds employment and training services for veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness and incarcerated veterans. The Department is moving grantee reporting into a new online system and revising its performance data, including eliminating some unspecified demographic categories and performance measures while adding information on participant eligibility, training activities, and registered apprenticeships. DOL says the changes are intended to simplify reporting and focus collection on essential program data, but the notice does not identify which demographic information or performance measures would be lost. | Veterans |
| 2026-11-09 | VA All Employee Survey (AES) | VA | The AES will survey VA's employees annually on workplace experiences, leadership, management, employee satisfaction, and VA-specific issues, while reporting results from only 10 required core questions to OPM for government-wide FEVS reporting. The notice does not explain what demographic information VA will collect or what employee-level data will be made public, leaving open whether the new system will preserve the ability to analyze differences in federal employees’ workplace experiences by race, ethnicity, sex, age, or other characteristics. | Federal Government |
| 2026-11-09 | E-Appeal/MSPB Appeal Form | MSPB | MSPB is revising the form federal employees use to appeal personnel actions to reflect recent changes to its regulations. Among other changes, the form removes termination during a probationary or initial service period and negative suitability determinations as appeal categories, narrows the reduction-in-force category to Foreign Service actions, and adds failure to restore an employee following military service or a compensable workplace injury. The changes implement regulatory revisions that took effect September 2 rather than independently changing employees’ appeal rights. | Federal Government |
| 2026-11-09 | NTIA Internet Use Survey | DOC/NTIA | NTIA is seeking public input on a redesign of the Internet Use Survey, the long-running supplement to the Current Population Survey that provides detailed national data on internet access and use. NTIA is considering updates to reflect changes in technology, including AI, connected devices, and how people use the internet, while trying to preserve useful historical comparisons. Importantly, the agency is specifically asking data users which existing questions should remain unchanged, which are important to research and policymaking, what language is outdated, what new questions should be added, and what data are needed to evaluate federal broadband programs. | Science and Technology |
| 2026-11-09 | BOH Workforce Performance Data Collection | HHS/HRSA | HRSA is proposing new reporting requirements for children's hospitals receiving federal graduate medical education funding that would specifically track their involvement in gender-affirming care for minors. Hospitals would report whether they offer this care, whether their curricula include it, and how many people receive training related to it. HHS uses the administration's stigmatizing term “sex rejecting procedures and services” for the care throughout the proposed collection. The change would give HHS new hospital-level information about where gender-affirming care is provided and where health professionals are being trained to provide it, amid the administration's broader efforts to restrict the care and scrutinize providers. | LGBTQI+ |
