2026-09038 — Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (DFARS Case 2024-D021)

Starting May 7, 2026, the Department of Defense won’t make most new defense contractors share their greenhouse gas emissions unless it’s really needed for the contract. This change helps nontraditional contractors avoid extra paperwork, but DoD can still ask for info if it’s directly tied to the job. It’s a smart move to keep things fair and focused without slowing down important defense work.

2026-09067 — Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Mitigating Risks Related to Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (DFARS Case 2021-D011)

The Department of Defense is updating rules to make sure companies working with them reveal if they’re owned or controlled by foreign folks. This helps keep our defense projects safe from hidden foreign influence. If you’re a contractor or subcontractor, get ready to share ownership info by July 6, 2026, or risk delays in your contracts.

2025-20402 — Updated Definition of “Waters of the United States”

The EPA and Army Corps are updating the rules that decide which waters are protected under the Clean Water Act, following a 2023 Supreme Court decision. This change helps everyone know exactly which waters are covered, making it easier to protect lakes, rivers, and wetlands while respecting state and tribal rights. People and businesses affected should share their thoughts by January 5, 2026, as this update could impact water projects and environmental protections.

2026-10459 — Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

The Department of Defense is updating its student registration forms for military families to make sure kids can enroll in DoD schools smoothly. About 67,550 families will provide info once a year, helping schools track attendance, grades, and services. Comments on these changes are open until June 26, 2026, and the process won’t cost families anything extra.

2026-10289 — Information Collection; Privacy Training

The government agencies OFPP, DoD, GSA, and NASA want to keep their privacy training info collection going for three more years, past October 31, 2026. This affects federal contractors and employees who handle government acquisitions, making sure everyone stays sharp on privacy rules. They’re asking for your thoughts by July 21, 2026, to keep the process smooth and easy without extra costs or hassle.

2026-10288 — Information Collection; Architect-Engineer Qualifications (SF-330)

The government wants to keep using the Architect-Engineer Qualifications form (SF-330) for three more years to help pick the best design pros for federal projects. They’re asking architects, engineers, and the public to share thoughts by July 21, 2026, to make sure the form is useful and not too much work. No big cost changes, just a smooth extension to keep things running well.
