The proposal creates a new electronic form on Fraud.gov for the public to report suspected waste, fraud, abuse, improper payments, misuse of federal funds, and related misconduct in federal programs. The Treasury Department would use the information to sort, check, de-duplicate, and route tips to the right federal agency, inspector general, law enforcement body, or other authorized office. People submitting tips may be asked for a description of the issue, supporting documents, contact details, and other information needed to evaluate the report. The notice also asks the public and federal agencies to comment by August 17, 2026, especially on the expected paperwork burden and ways to reduce it.
