Red tape targets OMB chief amid drive to cut forms
Thomas B. Lance told the Greater Pittsburgh Chamber that the Carter administration backs less regulation and aims to streamline the federal paperwork burden. A Senate subcommittee in 1973 counted 4,928 kinds of forms, while the Commission on Federal Paperwork has approved over 200 recommendations since 1975. President Carter urges reduced bureaucracy and executive leaders must set reduction goals to the OMB by Thursday. The IRS and tax code are singled out as major citizen-facing touchpoints in the drive to cut red tape.
