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:
- 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

| 2026-04-10 | Annual Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey | DOE | EIA has fielded the Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey since 1988, but because of the rapidly evolving energy-intensive economic landscape, EIA is proposing to initiate a narrower but more frequent data collection. The new survey narrows information collected from 250 to 60 items, but is fielded yearly. Information collected will be used to produce aggregate statistics on the energy consumption of the manufacturing sector, including energy purchases, expenditures, transfers in and shipments out, onsite generation and both fuel and nonfuel use of five widely used energy sources. | Energy |

Proposed changes to the digital labor platform work portion of the survey will provide more information about digital platform work that might be of short duration or intermittent and will help to understand how many days per week and hours per day were typically spent on work obtained through an app or website and what type of work was done. | Labor/Employment |
