Why is the Paperwork Reduction Act required when there are two executive orders requiring agencies to survey their customers?
The Federal government has many statutory responsibilities that include investing in education and training, strengthening health care, protecting the environment, promoting useful research, enforcing the law, and collecting taxes. In carrying out these statutory responsibilities, agencies collect information — and submit their surveys, recordkeeping requirements, and other collections of information to OMB for review and approval under the PRA. The same is true for collections of information carried out to meet Presidential initiatives embodied in Executive Orders.
