Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Protecting The Public From

Unnecessary Federal Paperwork:

Does The Control Process Work?



The Congress meant the Federal Reports Act
to control the burden placed on the public by
Federal Government reporting requirements
However, the process for doing so is poorly
structured, it consists mainly of a series of
redundant reviews of proposed reporting re
quirements by authorities in the agencies, De-
partments, and the Office of Management and
Budget

Agency officials were unsure of their author-
ity The Office of Management and Budget
and Department approval of reporting re-
quirements was routine and lacked basic doc-
umentation needed for a meaningful evalua-
tion

The Office of Management and Budget's role
should be changed to place more emphasis on
evaluating Departments' and agencies' per-
formance in making reviews and on improving
the documentation required for review
