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:
- 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

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:

| 2026-11-09 | Survey of Health Care Providers To Advance Pregnancy Safety Data Collection and Improve Health Communications | HHS/FDA | FDA is proposing a new survey of health care providers to understand why pregnancy exposure registries often struggle to enroll enough patients to produce useful information about medication safety during pregnancy. The study will survey 400 physicians, midwives, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other providers who routinely care for pregnant patients about their awareness and use of pregnancy registries, barriers to referring and enrolling patients, and ideas for improving participation. FDA plans to use the findings to improve pregnancy safety data collection and inform guidance for organizations designing these registries, ultimately helping fill gaps in evidence about the safety of medications during pregnancy. | Reproductive Justice |
| 2026-11-09 | Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot | DOD | The Defense Department is revising the federal forms used by military and overseas voters to register, request absentee ballots, and cast emergency backup ballots. The revised forms would require voters to provide a state driver's-license or ID number if they have one, the last four digits of their Social Security number if they do not, or information from another government-issued ID if neither is available; the Department says these changes clarify existing federal voter-registration requirements. More significantly, the Department is removing the option for U.S. citizens living abroad who have never lived in the United States, arguing that they are not specifically covered by the federal overseas-voting law, even though many states allow some of these citizens to vote based on a parent's former residence. The Department initially sought emergency approval to implement the changes before the 2026 election without the normal advance public-comment period. | N/A |
| 2026-11-10 | 2026 National Survey of Victim Service Providers | DOJ/BJS | BJS is reinstating the NSVSP, last conducted in 2019, to produce national data on organizations serving victims of crime and abuse. The 2026 survey will collect information from roughly 3,600 active providers on the types of victimization they address, services they provide, the size and composition of their workforce, and their preparedness to respond to mass-violence incidents. | Violence |
| 2026-11-13 | Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility | DHS/USCIS | USCIS is revising Form I-601, which people use to seek waivers of certain grounds that would otherwise make them inadmissible to the United States, including in some Temporary Protected Status cases. USCIS has not provided information in this notice explaining what is changing on the form. | Immigration |
| 2026-11-13 | Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant | DHS/USCIS | USCIS is revising Form I-360, which is used by several groups seeking immigration benefits, including certain widows and widowers, survivors of domestic violence, abused children and parents, religious workers, Special Immigrant Juveniles, and certain Afghan and Iraqi nationals who assisted the U.S. government. USCIS has not provided information in this notice explaining what is changing on the form. | Immigration |
| 2026-11-13 | Immigrant Petition by Standalone Investor, Immigrant Petition by Regional Center Investor | DHS/USCIS | USCIS is revising Forms I-526 and I-526E, which immigrant investors use to petition for permanent residence through the EB-5 program, including investments through regional centers. USCIS has not provided information in this notice explaining what is changing on the forms. | Immigration |
| 2026-11-13 | Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver | DHS/USCIS | USCIS is revising Form I-485, the application people use to apply for lawful permanent resident status (a green card) from within the United States. USCIS has not provided information in this notice explaining what is changing on the form. | Immigration |
| 2026-11-16 | National Survey on Drug Use and Health | HHS/SAMHSA | SAMHSA is proposing several changes to the 2027 NSDUH, a major federal source of data on substance use and mental health. The survey would add questions about use of GLP-1 medications and several types of psychiatric medications, use of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and other crisis services, and reinstate questions about workplace drug and alcohol testing. SAMHSA would also change how it measures use of multiple substances by focusing on substances used within the same 30-day period, along with several smaller changes intended to improve or update existing drug-use questions. | Drug Use |
| 2026-11-16 | Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic Supplement | DOC/Census | Census is planning a major 2027 field test of the CPS ASEC, the source of official national poverty estimates and major data on income and health insurance. For the first time, Census will test allowing people to complete the ASEC online themselves rather than only through an interviewer, as part of a broader CPS modernization planned for 2027–2029. Because converting an interviewer-administered survey to internet self-response requires changes throughout the questionnaire, Census will test whether the new format and revised questions produce comparable estimates of poverty, income, health insurance, and other measures. About 50,000 households will participate. | Economic Justice |
| 2026-11-20 | Data Intermediaries and Approaches To Strengthen Public Health Data Exchange | HHS/CDC | CDC is seeking input on how “data intermediaries” could improve the exchange of public health data among health care providers, laboratories, pharmacies, public health agencies, and other sources. These intermediaries could include health information exchanges, health data utilities, national health-information networks, or other platforms that aggregate, link, transform, route, and potentially analyze data rather than requiring every provider and public health agency to build direct connections with one another. CDC is asking particularly detailed questions about data standards and quality, privacy and security, governance and permitted uses, funding, equitable access, oversight, and the potential role of AI. | Healthcare |
| 2026-11-23 | Proposed Data Sharing Activity | DOC/Census | Census is proposing to share confidential company-level data from several economic surveys with the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) to improve federal economic statistics. BEA would use the data to compare and reconcile Census and BEA records, improve coverage and industry classifications, and strengthen national, regional, and industry economic measures without collecting additional information from businesses. Access would be limited to specially sworn BEA employees, the data could be used only for statistical purposes, and federal tax information would not be shared. | Economy |
| 2026-11-24 | 2027 Rental Housing Finance Survey | HUD | HUD is proposing updates to the 2027 Rental Housing Finance Survey, conducted every three years to collect data on rental property ownership, financing, management, and costs. New questions would cover evictions and the eviction process, the types of properties owned by landlords with multiple properties, and maintenance and improvement costs related to natural disasters. The survey is a key source of information for understanding the rental housing market and informing housing policy. | Housing |
| 2026-12-01 | Heightened Import Disclosures for Supply Chain Visibility | DHS/CBP | CBP is exploring a major expansion of the data collected on goods imported into the United States, including foreign customs records and more detailed identifiers for manufacturers, shippers, exporters, and other supply-chain participants. The agency is also considering replacing or supplementing its existing manufacturer identifier with standardized global business identifiers and integrating the new information into AI and other supply-chain tracing systems. The notice raises broader data questions about entity identification, data quality and verification, interoperability with existing federal trade systems, and confidentiality. | Economy |
