Businesses, states, tribes, local governments, researchers, nonprofits, and other stakeholders can weigh in before the plan is sent to the White House budget office in June 2026. Comments open on April 30, 2026 and must be submitted by May 14, 2026 by email to the address provided. The agency warns commenters not to send confidential business information, and says it may not consider materials posted outside the main email submission.
