Public Notice - FFY 2026 Annual Synar Report

This is not an enforcement activity; it is a check on compliance. The Synar Survey has been conducted for the past 29 years. All 50 states and nine jurisdictions (American Samoa, District of Columbia, Guam, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Palau, and the Virgin Islands) currently participate.
