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

| 2026-11-16 | 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 |
| 2026-11-16 | 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 |
| 2026-11-20 | 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 |

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 notice raises broader data questions about entity identification, data quality and verification, interoperability with existing federal trade systems, and confidentiality. | Economy |
