The Department of Commerce will submit the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice.

The 2026 Census Test GQAC will be fielded to 600 GQ facilities across two regional census areas that encompasses six test sites in Western Texas; Tribal Lands within Arizona; Colorado Springs, CO; Western North Carolina; Spartanburg, SC; and Huntsville, AL. These locations were chosen because they possess particular characteristics that support the Census Bureau's focus on several enhancement areas for the broader 2026 Census Test and the 2030 Census, including: making it easier for people to respond on their own online, by phone, or by mail; improving in-person household data collection; improving methods for counting people living in GQs; enhancing the infrastructure that supports census operations; and processing data concurrently with data collection. The enhancement of GQAC data collection falls solely under the enhancement area on improving methods for counting people living in GQs. It will meet that goal by making it easier for GQ administrators to provide information about the GQ, allowing them to select a method of enumeration for the residents of the GQ, and enhancing the infrastructure that supports census operations. The GQAC data collection period is February 2026 through March 2026.
The 2026 Census Test GQAC will utilize the GQ Contact Frame Maintenance system that will include the GQ facility name (linked to the possible GQs), facility address, name of GQ administrator/primary and secondary points of contact, phone number of contact person(s), and email address of the contact person(s).
During the 2020 Census, GQAC was conducted with the GQ administrator by telephone (In-Office GQAC) or a personal visit (In-Field GQAC). For the 2026 Census Test, advance contact information will also be collected by phone or by in-person visit(s).
The 2026 Census Test GQAC will enable the Census Bureau to contact the GQ administrators to collect pertinent information about the GQs such as:
• GQ type,
• Name, phone number and email of the contact person,
• Verification/updates to the GQ address the Census Bureau has in their inventory,
• Expected population for the GQ on Census Day, April 1, 2026,
• Desired method of enumeration for their residents, and
• Depending on the enumeration method selected, the date and time for an appointment.
During In-Office GQAC, office clerks will call the GQ administrator (using the phone number on file for the case or researching it using the internet) and conduct interviews while electronically collecting responses and making entries into an instrument to verify and/or update the GQ information and documenting their preferred enumeration method in preparation for conducting the upcoming enumeration.
The In-Field GQAC operation will include all unresolved cases from the In-Office GQAC. Field staff will work with GQs for which pre-enumeration information such as contact information was not obtained. Field staff will visit each identified GQ and conduct an in-person interview with the GQ contact person using an electronic device to capture the same information collected during In-Office GQAC. During the 2020 Census and previous decennial censuses, in-field GQAC was conducted by field staff visiting each identified GQ and collecting response data on a paper questionnaire.
The content of the GQAC reflects topics that are required by the GQAC operation to enable the Group Quarters Enumeration (GQE) in the larger 2026 Census Test, which in turn will inform improvements for the 2030 Census.
Since the 60-day
• The Census Bureau descoped the web-based GQAC for GQ administrators from the 2026 Census Test. The Census Bureau no longer plans to allow GQ administrators to log into a secure web-based GQAC instrument to review, verify, and if needed, update the GQ information, or select a method of data collection in preparation for conducting the upcoming enumeration operations. Instead, Census Bureau office clerks will use the same platform that had been planned for GQ administrators to collect this information.
• Emails to GQ administrators for web-based GQAC that were mentioned in the 60-day FRN will no longer be sent.
• Also descoped were plans to implement a process to virtually complete the Special Sworn Status form for GQ administrators who select the web-based GQAC. The system to track/maintain completed Special Sworn Status forms (BC-1759) collected during the American Community Survey and other Census Bureau web-based surveys is still in progress because it may be needed during GQE.
• The proposed annual burden hours have decreased from the 217 hours as the Census Bureau estimated in the 60-day
• The form number(s) indicated on the 60-day

Notice of a new matching program.
In accordance with subsection (e)(12) of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), ACF Tech, is providing notice of a re-established matching program between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and State Public Assistance Agencies (SPAAs) participating in the Public Assistance Reporting Information System (PARIS) Program. The matching program provides the SPAAs with VA's compensation and pension data on a periodic basis to use in determining public assistance applicants' and recipients' eligibility for certain public assistance benefits. ACF Tech facilitates the matching program, and the Department of Treasury, Bureau of Fiscal Services, Do Not Pay (DNP) conducts the matches of SPAA and VA data and provides associated support.
The deadline for comments on this notice is November 21, 2025. The re-established matching program will commence not sooner than 30 days after publication of this notice, provided no comments are received that warrant a change to this notice. The matching program will be conducted for an initial term of 18 months (from approximately October 2025 through May 2026), and within 3 months of expiration may be renewed for 1 additional year if the parties make no change to the matching program and certify that the program has been conducted in compliance with the matching agreement.
Interested parties may submit written comments on this notice by mail or email to HHS/ACF Tech, 330 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20024,
General questions about the matching program may be submitted to Robin Colllins, Chief Information Officer and Acting Chief Technology Officer, ACF Tech, 330 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20024,
The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), provides certain protections for records related to individuals applying for and receiving Federal benefits. The law governs the use of computer matching by Federal agencies when records in a system of records (meaning, Federal agency records about individuals retrieved by name or other personal identifier) are matched with records of other Federal or non-Federal agencies. The Privacy Act requires agencies involved in a matching program to the following:
1. Obtain approval of a Computer Matching Agreement, prepared in accordance with the Privacy Act, by the Data Integrity Board of each Federal agency that is a source, or recipient of data used in the matching program. 5 U.S.C. 522a(o)(1), (u)(3)(A), and (u)(4).
2. Provide adequate advance notice of the matching program, including a copy of the agreement, to Congress and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). 5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(2)(A)(i) and (r).
3. Publish advance notice of the matching program in the
4. Make the Computer Matching Agreement available to the public. 5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(2)(A)(ii).
5. Notify the individuals whose information will be used in the matching program that the information they provide is subject to verification through matching, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(1)(D).
6. Verify match findings before suspending, terminating, reducing, or making a final denial of an individual's benefits or payments, or taking other adverse action against the individual, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(p).
7. Provide an annual report of the matching program activities to the head of the participating agency and OMB and make the report available to the public. 5 U.S.C. 552a(u)(3)(D).
This matching program meets these requirements.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is the source agency and State Public Assistance Agencies (SPAAs) are non-Federal agencies.
Sections 402(a), 1137, and 1903(r) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. secs. 602(a), 1320b-7, and 1396b(r)).
The matching program will provide participating SPAAs with VA's compensation and pension data on a periodic basis to use in determining public assistance applicants' and recipients' eligibility for benefits under the Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and general assistance programs, and to use in helping relevant veterans to better understand similar benefits available through the VA that may be better alternatives. The matching program helps ensure fair and equitable treatment in the delivery of benefits attributable to funds provided by the Federal Government.
The categories of individuals involved in the matching program are the following:
• Individuals applying for or receiving Medicaid, TANF, SNAP, and/or general assistance benefits (public assistance clients); and
• Individuals receiving VA pay or pension benefits.
The categories of records used in the matching program are identifying information, compensation, and pension data.
On an approximately quarterly basis, VA will provide DNP with a file containing VA benefit record data for most VA benefit and compensation recipients. SPAAs will also provide DNP with a non-Federal file containing identifying information, including Social Security Numbers (SSNs), about public assistance clients. DNP will compare the SSNs in each SPAA file to the VA file and will provide the SPAA with match results containing the following data elements (as applicable) about each public assistance client whose SSN matches the SSN of an individual receiving VA compensation or pension benefits:
VA File Number; Veteran/Beneficiary/Apportionee SSN and SSN Verification Indicator; Payee Type Code; Award Type, Award Line Type, and Award Status Codes; Gender Code; Last Name/First Name/Middle Name; Beneficiary Birth Date; Veteran/Spouse Aid and Attendance Code; Station Number; Spouse; Minor Child; School Child; Helpless Child; Parent; Combined Degree; Entitlement Type Code; Change Reason; Suspense Reason; Last Paid Date; Effective Date; Gross Amount; Net Award Amount; Payment Amount; Frequency Pay Type Code; Income for VA Purposes Amount; Beneficiary/Spouse Annual Amounts (for Wages, Insurance, Interest, Social Security, Civil Service Retirement, Military, Railroad Retirement Board, Black Lung, and Rest); Beneficiary/Spouse Rest of Exclusion Amount; Medical Expense/Education Expense/Last Expense/Hardship Amounts; Receivable/Receivable Amount; Monthly Deductions/Deduction Amount; Proceeds/Proceeds Amount; Address Type Indicator; Address Name/Fiduciary; Address Fiduciary Type; Address Name Beneficiary; Corporate Format Address (Address Lines One, Two, and Three, City Name, State Name, ZIP Code Prefix and Suffix, Country Type Name, Foreign Postal Code, Province Name, Territory Name, Military Postal Type, Military Post Office); and, Benefits Delivery Network Treasury Address and ZIP Code Prefix.
The VA data used in this matching program will be disclosed from the following system of records, as authorized by routine use 35: “Compensation, Pension, Education, and Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Records—VA (58VA21/22/28),” 86 FR 61858 (Nov. 8, 2021).

Christopher C. Meyerson, (202) 268-7820.
The United States Postal Service hereby gives notice that, pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 3632(b)(3), it filed with the Postal Regulatory Commission the following requests:
Documents are available at
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this proclamation, all imports of MHDVs and the MHDVPs specified in Annex I to this proclamation, or in any action designed to address the national security threat found in this proclamation, shall be subject to a 25 percent
(2) For MHDVs, except for buses and other vehicles classified in HTSUS heading 8702, that qualify for preferential tariff treatment under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), importers of such products may submit documentation to the Secretary identifying the amount of United States content in each model imported into the United States. The term “United States content” refers to the value of the MHDV attributable to United States-based activity supporting domestic production, as determined by the Secretary. Thereafter, the Secretary may approve imports of such MHDVs to be eligible to apply the
(3) Imports of individual MHDVPs within the scope of the tariffs described in clause (1) of this proclamation that qualify for preferential tariff treatment under the USMCA shall not be subject to the additional
(4) I find that it is necessary to reduce duties assessed on MHDVPs accounting for 15 percent of the value of an MHDV assembled in the United States from 2025 through 2030. Accordingly:
(5) The Secretary shall take all necessary steps to implement the import adjustment offset program outlined in clause (4) of this proclamation, including supplying CBP with the information necessary for CBP to administer and implement the import adjustment offset, such as importer of record number(s) for the importer(s) eligible to use each offset amount and the approved import adjustment offset amount. CBP shall confer the approved offset amount to the approved importer(s) of record using processes and mechanisms consistent with CBP's operational framework and tariff administration procedures, including by applying the offset against current tariff obligations due at the time of entry, or by using other lawful methods.
(6) If CBP determines that the declared value of non-United States content of imports under clause (2) of this proclamation is inaccurate due to an overstatement of United States content, the 25 percent tariff specified in clause (1) of this proclamation shall apply to the full value of the MHDV, regardless of the actual United States content. In addition, the 25 percent tariff specified in clause (1) of this proclamation shall be applied to the full value of all MHDVs of the same model imported by the same importer or responsible party from the date of the inaccurate declaration until compliance is verified by CBP. This clause does not apply to or otherwise affect any other applicable duties, taxes, fees, exactions, or charges.
(7) The Secretary shall establish a process for including additional MHDVPs within the scope of the tariffs established in clause (1) of this proclamation. The Secretary may add MHDVPs within the scope of the tariffs established in clause (1) of this proclamation if—after considering the information from the Secretary's monitoring of imports of MHDVs, MHDVPs, and buses, as well as any factor the Secretary deems appropriate—the Secretary determines that inclusion of the import will reduce or eliminate the national security threat found in this proclamation. Appropriate factors may include the factors in section 232(d) (19 U.S.C. 1862(d)) and whether the imports of MHDVs, MHDVPs, and buses have increased in a manner that threatens to impair the national security of the United States or otherwise undermines the objectives set forth in this proclamation. The process the Secretary establishes may include provisions for the receipt of information and requests for additions of specific MHDVPs from domestic producers of MHDVPs or other interested entities or individuals.
(8) Any product subject to tariffs pursuant to this proclamation, except those eligible for admission under “domestic status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.43, that is admitted into a United States foreign trade zone on or after the effective date of this proclamation, as set forth in clause (1) of this proclamation, must be admitted in “privileged foreign status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.41, and will be subject upon entry for consumption to any duties related to the classification under the applicable HTSUS subheading.
(9) The application of multiple tariffs (stacking) for imports of MHDVs, MHDVPs, and buses subject to this proclamation shall follow the same rules for stacking for imports subject to Proclamation 10908, as amended. For purposes of Executive Order 14289 of April 29, 2025 (Addressing Certain Tariffs on Imported Articles), as amended, a product remains “subject to” this proclamation or Proclamation 10908, as amended, even if the tariff imposed by these two proclamations is not owed and payable due to compliance with USMCA rules of origin, use of an offset adjustment, or tariff reductions effected through the implementation of agreements on trade and security.
(10) The tariffs imposed under clauses (1) through (3) of this proclamation shall not apply to MHDVs or buses and other vehicles classified in HTSUS heading 8702 that were manufactured in a year at least 25 years prior to the date of entry of those MHDVs or buses.
(11) Clause (1) of Proclamation 10925 of April 29, 2025 (Amendments to Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States), is revised to read as follows:
“(1) To more effectively eliminate the threat to impair national security posed by imports of automobiles and certain automobile parts, I find that it is necessary to reduce duties assessed on automobile parts accounting for 15 percent of the value of an automobile assembled in the United States from 2025 through 2030. Accordingly:
(a) Automobile manufacturers may apply to the Secretary for an import adjustment offset amount equal to 3.75 percent of the aggregate Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) value of all automobiles assembled in the United States by the manufacturer, as determined annually by the Secretary, from April 5, 2025, through April 30, 2030.
(b) The percentage rate provided in subsection (a) of this clause reflects the total duty that would be owed when a 25 percent duty is applied to parts accounting for 15 percent of an automobile's value.
(c) The Secretary shall establish an import adjustment offset equivalent to that specified in subsections (a) and (b) of this clause for automobile engine manufacturers. Offset accrual for these engine manufacturers shall be based on the aggregate value of automobile engines assembled in the United States by the engine manufacturer and shall follow the same accrual
(d) Only automobiles that undergo final assembly in the United States are eligible to be included in this calculation. The manufacturer's import adjustment offset amount may be used only by importers of record authorized by that manufacturer.
(e) A manufacturer's import adjustment offset amount may be used only to offset tariff liability related to that manufacturer's automobile parts tariff liability under Proclamation 10908, as amended, or under clause (12) of the Proclamation of October 17, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts, and Buses Into the United States).
(f) If the Secretary finds that the offset program is not fulfilling the purposes of Proclamation 10908, as amended, for particular products, the Secretary may publish in the
(g) Imports of automobile knock-down kits or other equivalent parts compilations, as determined by CBP, shall not be eligible for import adjustment offsets.”.
(12) An importer of record may declare an automobile part or MHDVP as subject to the automobile parts tariff pursuant to Proclamation 10908, as amended, or to the MHDVP tariff pursuant to this proclamation. For an automobile or MHDV part to be eligible for this treatment, the part must meet the following conditions:
(a) the part cannot be presently subject to the tariffs imposed pursuant to Proclamation 10908, as amended, or this proclamation;
(b) the part cannot be classifiable in Chapters 72, 73, or 76 of the HTSUS; and
(c) the part must be used for automobile- or MHDV-related production or repair activity in the United States, as attested to by certification from the importer of record.
(13) To more effectively address the national security threats found in Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Aluminum Into the United States), as amended; Proclamation 9705 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States); Proclamation 9888, as amended; and this proclamation, I deem it necessary and appropriate to allow modification of tariffs imposed under Proclamation 9704, as amended, and Proclamation 9705, as amended, based on certain increased commitments of certain steel or aluminum products that support United States production capacity of key products, including United States automobiles and MHDVs. Accordingly, the Secretary is authorized to reduce tariffs owed under Proclamation 9704, as amended, and Proclamation 9705, as amended, by up to half the applicable rate for aluminum or steel producers that operate production facilities in Canada or Mexico and supply United States automobile or MHDV manufacturers. Such adjustments shall be limited to quantities of aluminum or steel equal to newly committed United States production capacity, as determined by the Secretary. In no cases shall the adjusted rate under Proclamation 9704, as amended, and Proclamation 9705, as amended, be lower than 25 percent. Rate adjustments shall also be limited to imports of aluminum and steel that qualify for preferential tariff treatment under the USMCA and that were smelted and cast or melted and poured in Canada or Mexico. Any adjustment by the Secretary shall be consistent with the need to address the national security threats I have found under section 232, including in Proclamation 9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as amended; Proclamation 9888, as amended; and this proclamation.
(14) The Secretary shall continue to monitor imports of MHDVs, certain MHDVPs, and buses. The Secretary also shall, from time to time, in consultation with any senior executive branch officials the Secretary deems appropriate, review the status of such imports with respect to the national security. The Secretary shall inform the President of any circumstances that, in the Secretary's opinion, might indicate the need for further action by the President under section 232. The Secretary shall also inform the President of any circumstance that, in the Secretary's opinion, might indicate that the increase in duty rate provided for in this proclamation is no longer necessary.
(15) As of the effective date of this proclamation, only manufacturing drawback claims made in accordance with subsections (a) and (b) of section 313 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1313(a)-(b), and no other drawback, shall be available with respect to the duties imposed on MHDVPs pursuant to this proclamation and on automobile parts pursuant to Proclamation 10908, as amended. The Secretary may adjust a company's offset accrual amount as necessary to avoid awarding excessive offset accrual benefits for United States-assembled vehicles production that receives drawback benefits upon exportation.
(16) The Secretary, in consultation with the Chair of the United States International Trade Commission and the Commissioner of CBP, shall determine the modifications necessary to the HTSUS to effectuate this proclamation and shall make such modifications to the HTSUS through notice in the
(17) To the extent consistent with applicable law and the purpose of this proclamation; Proclamation 9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as amended; and Proclamation 10908, as amended, the Secretary and the Secretary of Homeland Security are directed and authorized to take all actions that are appropriate to implement and effectuate this proclamation and any actions contemplated by this proclamation; Proclamation 9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as amended; and Proclamation 10908, as amended, including, consistent with applicable law, the issuance of regulations, rules, guidance, and procedures and the temporary suspension or amendment of regulations, within their respective jurisdictions, and to employ all powers granted to the President under section 232. The Secretary and the Secretary of Homeland Security may, consistent with applicable law, including 3 U.S.C. 301, redelegate any of these functions within their respective departments. All executive departments and agencies shall take all appropriate measures to implement and effectuate this proclamation and Proclamation 10908, as amended.
(18) The Secretary may issue regulations and guidance consistent with this proclamation, including to address operational necessity.
(19) CBP may take any necessary or appropriate measures to administer the tariffs imposed by this proclamation.
(20) Any provision of previous proclamations and Executive Orders that is inconsistent with the actions taken in this proclamation is superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. If any provision of this proclamation or the application of any provision to any individual or circumstance is held to be invalid, the remainder of this proclamation and the application of its provisions to any other individuals or circumstances shall not be affected.
