Officials report mixed gains in reducing form filling and time spent on forms, with six months of near stagnation after earlier improvements. OMB notes it will be a slow, ongoing effort amid new programs and regulations. The burden remains substantial, with billions in dollars and hundreds of millions of hours devoted to paperwork.
