The Administration supports the goal of encouraging agencies to
use electronic submission, maintenance, and disclosure of information in order
to reduce paperwork burdens on small businesses and other members of the
public. Although legislation is not necessary to accomplish this goal, the
Administration has no objection to House passage of H.R. 852, as reported by
the House Small Business Committee.
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-13) and the
Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-106) already
encourage and direct agencies to collect and use information through electronic
and other technical means where it makes programmatic and economic sense to do
so. |
