GAO found that the es- timate of the time needed to complete the Annual Report of Packers was substantially understated; the estimate of the burden im- posed by the meat inspection regulations was substantially overstated. Agriculture's paperwork management pro- gram needs improvement. Shortcomings in the program allowed (1) the collection of un- used information and (2) the use of report- ing requirements which were not approved. Over 1,100 unapproved reporting require- ments were in use. GAO made recommenda- tions to enhance Agriculture's paperwork manaqement program. This report is the first of a series requested by the Joint Economic Committee on the pa- perwork burden imposed on segments of American business. 111906 GGD-80-14 MARCH 10, 1980
