2026-10-20 Consolidated Annual Report (CAR) ED ED is proposing additional revisions to states’ annual reporting under the Perkins career and technical education program, including changes to financial reporting and updates to align performance data with the new National Career Clusters Framework. The new framework reorganizes CTE programs from 16 to 14 career clusters, which could affect how program outcomes are classified and compared over time. ED also proposes to simplify financial reporting, although the notice does not clearly identify what information would no longer be collected, making it difficult to assess whether the change would reduce transparency or program oversight. 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 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 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 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 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.

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.

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+
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.
