Education Paperwork Requirements

Are Burdensome:

Better Federal Controls Needed


Next year over 11 million respondents will
spend more than 41 million hours complet-
ing federally required education-related
paperwork.The Department of Education
could reduce the paperwork burden by
improving its review process and by fully
implementing the 1978 Control of Paper-
work Amendments. For example, the Depart-
ment needs to eliminate unauthorized forms
and enforce an approval and advance notice
deadline for new requirements. Failure to
enforce this deadline in 1 980 and 1981 for
86 requirements resulted in over 1 million
hours of paperwork burden.

Also, to support the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1980, OMB needs to work with the
Department to develop interagency review
coordination procedures and eliminate du-
plicative internal processing forms.

This report contains recommendations to
OMB and the Department to improve their
paperwork controls. It also recommends
that the Congress amend legislation to limit
the Department's review and coordination
authority to Department information collec-
tion requests.
