Federal agencies seek public comment on information collection proposals

The Department of Education is proposing revisions to a currently approved information collection related to the Special Education-Individual Reporting on Regulatory Compliance for the Personnel Development Program's Service Obligation, according to the Federal Register.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced opportunities for public comment on proposed collections of information related to the Veterinary Feed Directive and the Voluntary Qualified Importer Program. These notices are part of the agencies' compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, which requires publication and a 60-day comment period.

The Department of Defense (DoD) has submitted proposals for information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act, as reported in recent Federal Register documents.

Additionally, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) forwarded an information collection request to OMB for review and comment, following a prior 60-day comment period that ended in June 2026.

These actions reflect ongoing federal efforts to comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act by ensuring transparency and public participation in information collection activities.
