Most every federal government form has a little notice on it called a Paperwork Reduction Act notice. (Sure, it’s ironic that government paperwork should have a notice about its own reduction, but there it is.)

Annnyway, H.R. 6113 would require each agency to include a contact telephone number in its Paperwork Reduction Act notices.

Y’know, so you could call.

It would also require the Comptroller General to conduct a study of complaints that agencies receive and whether or not they get resolved.

Which brings us to a key failing of the bill. It had better specify that someone should answer.
