I. BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
During consideration of S. 244 the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the Senate adopted two amendments which dealt with the elimination or modification of certain Congressionally-mandated reporting requirements and also placed a sunset on other similar reports. These amendments were offered by Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Carl Levin (D-MI). Conferees meeting to resolve differences between the House and Senate versions of the PRA agreed to offer the McCain and Levin amendments as separate and freestanding legislation. The PRA was signed into law on May 22, 1995, as Public Law 104-13 without the McCain and Levin amendments.
After the President signed the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 into law, House and Senate staffers in both the majority and minority began meeting to initiate the world necessary to present this bill to the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee and the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee.
The Paperwork Reduction Act sets the standard by which Congress can continue to alleviate the paperwork burden on Executive Branch agencies. The Federal Report Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 continues that work. By mandate, Executive Branch agencies annually produce thousands of reports to Congress. Many are outdated and no longer necessary. This bill eliminates or modifies nearly 200 such reporting requirements and establishes a sunset on all others.
S. 790 was needed not merely to alleviate the burden on the Executive Branch but to also allow the Government to focus its energy on more important issues, thereby better utilizing their time. On December 21, 1982 President Ronald Reagan signed the Congressional Reports Elimination Act of 1982 into law (P.L. 97-375) and 13 years later the Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act continues, with the same strong bi-partisan support that the 1982 act received, to releive the federal government of needless and burdensome paperwork. President Reagan said in his statement that this was a, `useful and constructive step in reducing unnecessary paperwork and in improving executive branch operations.' Also, given increasing costs of report production, this bill will help control costs in keeping with this Committee's efforts to increase the efficiency of the federal government.
II. LEGISLATIVE AND COMMUNITY HISTORY
Senators McCain and Levin introduced S. 790, the Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995, on May 11, 1995. It was reported favorably by the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs and was approved by the full U.S. Senate by a unanimous voice vote on July 17, 1995.
In his floor speech, Senator Levin compared S. 790 to S. 2157, which he and Senator Cohen introduced in 1994. The Senator explained that the list of reports included in S. 790 was first complied by sending out letters asking all 89 executive and independent agencies to identify those reports required by law which were no longer necessary or useful and could be eliminated or modified. Agencies were asked to produce a clear and substantiated justification for each recommendation made.
Following Senate approval, S. 790 was sent to the U.S. House of Representatives on July 18, 1995 and held at the Clerk's desk. On September 12, 1995, S. 790 was referred to the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. On September 14, 1995, Congressman Robert Ehrlich (R-MD) introduced the House companion to S. 790, H.R. 2331, with 9 additional co-sponsors. Congressman Ehrlich echoed the concerns of the Paperwork Reduction Act conferees by urging his colleagues to co-sponsor H.R. 2331 and, `lighten the red tape burden on executive branch agencies so that our government can operate with fewer restrictions and greater efficiency.' The Congressman also stated that he has, `the upmost confidence that the President will want to sign this important piece of legislation into law because it allows executive branch agencies to focus more resources on important current issues as opposed to focusing on outdated and unnecessary reporting requirements.'
The Government Reform and Oversight Committee, working in cooperation with the Senate Government Affairs Committee, distributed a copy of this report to all the House and Senate full Committee Chairmen and Ranking Minority Members to elicit their views as to whether the changes being made would impede their Committees legislative and oversight functions. Their responses were incorporated into the final amendments to this bill.
On September 21, 1995, S. 790 was amended and reported by a unanimous voice vote by the full Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. Committee Chairman William F. Clinger (R-PA) praised the Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 by stating, `this legislation will continue the very positive work this Committee started with the Paperwork Reduction Act in a continuing effort to eliminate Federal paperwork burdens.' Congresswoman Cardiss Collins (D-IL), the Committee's ranking minority member, also expressed her support.
III. COMMITTEE ACTIONS
During the Committee's September 21, 1995 consideration of S. 790, two en-bloc amendments were offered and passed without objection. The first, by Congresswoman Collins, modified the bill as requested by the International Relations Committee, deleting some of the reports that were slated for elimination and making some minor technical changes. It was approved by a voice vote.
The second amendment was offered by Congressman Ehrlich and also passed by a voice vote. A portion of the Ehrlich amendment reinstated the `Estimated Expenditures Under the Food Stamp Program' report, at the request of the House Agriculture Committee. The information contained in this report was necessary to the Committee as it prepared to vote on the Farm bill.
Also included in this en-block amendment was a request from the United States Railroad Retirement Board modifying a report dealing with five-year retirement fund projections to allow for greater accuracy in projecting funds numbers. S. 790 was approved by the Government Reform and Oversight Committee by a unanimous voice vote.
IV. BILL SUMMARY
The first section of this bill deals with the elimination of Congressionally mandated reporting requirements. S. 790 eliminates nearly 200 reports in a continuing effort to reduce the paperwork the federal government produces yearly. These reports are organized in order by the department or agency of jurisdiction in Section 2 which acts as the table of contents.
Sections 1011 thru 1141 consider all those reports produced by Executive Branch Departments and sections 2011 thru 2241 consider all those reporting requirements produced by various independent agencies.
The final section of the bill provides a sunset provision originally devised by Senator McCain, eliminating reports with annual, semiannual, or regular periodic reporting requirements four years after this bill's enactment. It also allows Members of Congress to reauthorize those reports deemed necessary for carrying out effective congressional oversight.
V. COMPLIANCE WITH RULE XI
Pursuant to rule XI, clause 2(l)(3) of the Rules of the House of Representatives, under the authority of rule X, clause 2(b)(l) and clause 3(f), the results and findings from committee oversight activities are incorporated in the bill and this report.
VI. BUDGET ANALYSIS AND PROJECTIONS
This Act provides for no new authorization, budget authority or tax expenditures. Consequently, the provisions of section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act are not applicable.
VII. COST ESTIMATE OF THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
Hon. WILLIAM F. CLINGER, Jr.,
Chairman, Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The Congressional Budget Office has reviewed S. 790, the Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight on September 21, 1995. CBO estimates that enacting S. 790 would reduce agencies' reporting costs by about $2 million a year for fiscal years 1996 through 1999. For fiscal years 2000 and thereafter, we estimate that there would be additional annual savings but they would not be substantial. Such savings would affect total spending only if appropriations are reduced accordingly. The bill would not affect direct spending or receipts; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures would not apply. S. 790 also would have no cost to state or local governments.
S. 790 would immediately eliminate more than 150 reports mandated by the Congress and modify the requirements of another 61. Effective four years after enactment, it would eliminate additional reports. The bill also would require the President to include a list of unnecessary or wasteful reports in his first budget submission following enactment.
S. 790 would affect specific reports that 37 agencies are required to prepare for the Congress as well as nine reports that are required of most or all agencies. The bill covers many reports that are not submitted by agencies now, or that replicate data compiled and submitted in other reports. In addition, most agencies establish and then reuse report formats and some generic content. Thus, submissions often require minimal personnel time to update past reports with new information. As a result, the average cost of these reports is quite small. Based on information provided by the agencies, CBO estimates that the annual savings from eliminating or modifying the more than 200 reports specified in S. 790 would be about $2 million, all from appropriated funds.
In addition, beginning in fiscal year 2000, the bill would terminate any periodic reporting requirement established in 1992 or before. It would exempt certain reports, including those required under the Inspector General Act of 1978 and the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990. CBO expects that this provision would increase savings in fiscal year 2000 and thereafter, but the additional savings are not likely to be substantial because much of the information submitted to the Congress still would be collected by the agencies for use internally and by the Executive Branch.
If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is John R. Righter.
Sincerely,
JUNE E. O'NEILL, DIRECTOR.
