Federal comment window open on adding AI questions to the American Time Use Survey
24days left to commentCloses September 8th
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has proposed adding questions about artificial intelligence to the American Time Use Survey. Public comment is open under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Comments close September 8th, 2026. The survey is a main federal instrument for measuring how people actually spend working time, so what it asks about AI shapes what is later knowable.
How to take part
Comments go to the Department of Labor through the method given on the Federal Register notice, until September 8th, 2026. Paperwork Reduction Act notices are among the easiest federal comment routes for a member of the public to use.
Where
Statewide. This decision applies across Texas rather than to a named county.
