“I am very pleased to support final passage of H.R. 327, the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, with an amendment in the nature of a substitute proposed by Senator Voinovich and me and Senators Bond, Bunning, Carnahan, Carper, Cleland, Collins, Conrad, Dayton, Jeffords, Kerry, Leahy, Lincoln, Miller, and Thompson. America's small businesses are a critical part of the nation's economy and a key driver of new job growth. Small businesses face particular challenges in complying with government information-collection requirements. H.R. 327 contains several provisions to help small businesses in this area. This bill aids small businesses in understanding and complying with Federal information-collection requirements, mandates a study of how to streamline information-collection requirements for small businesses and how to strengthen the dissemination of information by the Federal Government, and directs that certain data be compiled about enforcement activities involving small entities.”
