Show full summary
  • Households and small businesses would likely face fewer or simpler federal forms as agencies must consider using already-held data, electronic collection, or statistical sampling.
  • Federal agencies would have to document an evaluation of alternatives and show information collections are the "least burdensome" necessary based on that analysis.
  • The Director of the Office of Management and Budget would require agency reviews starting 18 months after enactment and then every 3 years to identify unnecessary, reducible, or duplicative collections.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Less paperwork for people and businesses

This bill would require federal agencies to use the least burdensome way to collect information. Agencies would have to evaluate alternatives and document why a collection is needed. At minimum they would consider using data the government already has, electronic collection, and statistical sampling. These rules would take effect upon enactment.

Three-year review of federal forms

This bill would require the OMB Director to make agencies review their information-collection programs within 18 months of enactment and every three years after. Each review would identify collections that are unnecessary, could be changed to reduce burden, or duplicate another agency's collection. Reviews could lead to fewer or simpler forms for people and businesses.
