Plain-English summary
Requires each Federal agency, with respect to the collection of information and the control of paperwork, to estimate the type and number of small businesses to which each collection of information would apply and how the requirements of such collection would apply to each industry type.
Requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to: (1) take into account the burden placed on small businesses when approving proposed agency collections of information; (2) publish annually, and make available through the Internet, information regarding all Federal paperwork requirements applicable to small businesses; (3) track requirements for collections of information for which the authorization has expired and publish notice that entities need no longer comply with such requirements; and (4) identify requirements for collections of information for which authorization will soon expire and make efforts to prevent the continuation of collections using such authority.
