closely related: the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

https://digital.gov/resources/paperwork-reduction-act-44-u-s...

it requires the office of management and business to calculate the impact of records-keeping requirements impact on time and privacy, among other things.

I do not believe it has resulted in a reduced recordskeeping burden. For the most part I simply see an estimate of how long it will take to complete my tax forms and permits, on the form itself. Perhaps others have different views.
