For most listings, this information will be found in a section titled "Addresses"

| Due Date | Collection | Agency | Summary | Main Issues |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-12 | National Woodland Owner Survey | USDA | This survey collects data from a sample of the owners of 704 million acres of forestland across the United States about who owns and manages the forestland, why they own/manage it, how they have used it, and how they intend to use it. The information is used by policy analysts, foresters, educators, and researchers to facilitate the planning and implementation of forest policies and programs and to provide landowners, managers, and the general public a better understanding of the social context of forests. | Climate/Environment |
| 2026-06-12 | State Forest Law and Policy | USDA | This new collection will generate information including about how laws, public policies, regulations, and other factors influence and affect the use, ownership, and management of forest lands. | Climate/Environment |
| 2026-06-15 | PAIMI Program Reporting | SAMHSA | The PAIMI program provides protection and advocacy supports for people with developmental disabilities. The forms covered by this listing collect information about grantee programs and services. SAMHSA is updating the reporting forms to remove gender identity and sexual orientation questions and language and to remove the words "culture, cultural barriers, diversity, disadvantaged individuals, individuals with limited English proficiency, and underserved and unserved populations." | Healthcare |
| 2026-06-15 | Private School Universe Survey (PSS) | ED | The PSS is designed to collect biennial data on the total number of private schools, teachers, and students; and to create an NCES universe frame of private schools that serve as a sampling frame for NCES surveys. NCES appears to be making changes to the questionnaire but doesn't explain what changes are being made. Notably, this listing indicates that NCES "has removed... CIPSEA as a confidentiality assurance..." though "ESRA remains in effect." | Education |
| 2026-06-16 | Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Performance Measures | ACF | The PREP program provides grants to states, tribes and tribal communities, and community organizations to support evidence-based programs to reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The forms in this collection were used to assess overall program performance and to better understand the characteristics of youth involved in programming; youth sexual risk behaviors and behaviors related to adulthood preparation prior to program participation; and youth behavior intentions at program exit. ACF seems to be making significant changes to the collection that would result in 40% less questions, but they have not made any supplemental materials available describing the changes. Historically, these forms have asked about things like sexual orientation, sexual activity, pregnancy, and contraceptive use. | Sex Education |
| 2026-06-22 | Income Driven Repayment Plan Request | ED | This form is used by students to enroll in, recertify, or change their Income Driven Repayment (IDR) program. Under this listing, ED is implementing or formalizing several changes required by the OBBBA. One especially notable change to the form changes the default for students who no longer qualify for the IDR program in which they're currently enrolled - instead of placing such students into general forbearance while the student submits a new IDR application or changes to a different program they are eligible for, ED will place them into a standard repayment plan (which generally requires significantly higher monthly payments). | Education |
| 2026-06-22 | National Survey of Family Growth | CDC | The NSFG is designed to provide nationally representative, scientifically credible data on factors related to birth and pregnancy rates, family formation and dissolution patterns, and reproductive health.

HHS is revising the survey "to ensure alignment with current priorities such as improving public health interoperability and Make Health Tech Great Again." While details of the revisions are not available in supplemental materials, this survey has historically included many questions on health equity, including questions about sexual orientation and gender identity, that have been removed from similar collections. | Healthcare |
| 2026-06-26 | Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Survey | HHS | This survey collects data on Medicare beneficiaries' experiences of care with eligible clinicians participating in MIPS and is designed to gather data that CMS needs for assessing physician quality performance, and related public reporting on physician performance, and should complement other data collection efforts.

| 2026-06-30 | Projects for Assistance in Transition From Homelessness (PATH) Program Annual Report | SAMHSA | The PATH Program Annual Report summarizes how states and local homelessness services providers use PATH funds and whether those uses align with the requirements of the Public Health Services Act - which requires providers not to discriminate on the basis of race, sex, national origin, or other protected characteristics.
