This is in accordance with the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018, which mandates federal agencies like DHS to develop plans that address strategic and policy questions through evidence and data. The public is encouraged to provide suggestions that could help DHS enhance the effectiveness of its strategies, policies, and programs. Comments can be submitted until March 31, 2021, via the Federal eRulemaking Portal.
