handle is hein.gao/gaobabcdv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: RELEASED BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Chairman, Joint Economic Committee lls~o7 OF THE UNITED STATES 115807 The Environmental Protection Agency Needs To Better Control Its Growing Paperwork Burden On The Public EPA's burgeoning requirements for informa- tion have greatly increased the paperwork burden on the public. GAO found that EPA program managers routinely collected infor- mation without OMB approval. In other cases, EPA did not use or need all of the informa- tion on tens of thousands of forms provided by the public as required. Moreover, EPA's official estimates of the actual burden of its approved requirements were based primarily on the agency's judgment. Management controls need to be supported and strengthened in several ways if EPA is to achieve the goals of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980. A better measurement of the im- pact of a paperwork requirement can be ob- tained. In addition, other benefits such as more useful data can be realized if requirements are first pretested with potential respondents. GGD-81-40 MAY 15, 1981 .<7 -// , 115807
