Number: RL30590 Title: Paperwork Reduction Act Reauthorization and Government Information Management Issues Authors: Harold C. Relyea, Government and Finance Division Abstract: After a lapse of four years, reauthorization of OIRA appropriations got underway in March 2006 with an initial overview hearing on the Paperwork Reduction Act by the House Subcommittee on Regulatory Affairs. A second hearing by the subcommittee was held in July, but no further action, including the introduction of reauthorizing legislation, occurred before the final adjournment of the 109th Congress. A return to reauthorizing the Paperwork Reduction Act awaits the 110th Congress. Pages: 22 Date: January 4, 2007
