Implementing The Paperwork

Reduction Act: Some Progress,

But Many Problems Remain



The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 included
objectives of reducing paperwork burdens on the
public, minimizing Federal information costs,
and achieving savings and improved service
delivery through better management of modern
information technology. The Office of Manage-
ment and Budget was charged with these Govern-
ment-wide responsibilities.

OMB has reported substantial reductions in
paperwork burdens. Limited progress has been
made, however, in other information resources
management areas such as improving the
acquisition and use of information technology,
overseeing the Federal statistical system, and
developing uniform information policies.

GAO believes the limited progress was due in
part to the emphasis given regulatory reform
activities, which diverted resources from the act.
GAO recommends several actions OMB should
take and options Congress may wish to consider
for achieving more successful implementation of
the Paperwork Reduction Act.
