                         I. Purpose and Summary

    The purpose of S. 2769, the Congressional Reporting Burden 
Reduction Act, is to eliminate or modify certain 
congressionally-mandated reports identified by agencies as 
duplicative, burdensome, or no longer useful.

              II. Background and the Need for Legislation

    The GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) was designed to 
provide a performance management framework for government 
agencies.\1\ Under GPRAMA, agencies are required to measure 
performance and self-evaluate by conducting quarterly 
assessments.\2\ Under section 11 of GPRAMA, each agency's Chief 
Operating Officer (COO) is required to conduct an annual review 
of reporting requirements mandated by Congress and identify for 
elimination reports or plans deemed obsolete.\3\ The intended 
purpose of this mandate is to allow the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) to then take this information and confer with 
congressional staff to determine whether certain reporting 
requirements are outdated and can be statutorily eliminated.\4\

    In accordance with GPRAMA, OMB published a list of 
potentially outdated reports for 2019.\5\ This legislation 
implements OMB's recommendations by combining, modifying, and/
or eliminating several reports in the Committee's jurisdiction 
to free up agency time and resources.

                        III. Legislative History

    S. 2769 was introduced on October 31, 2019, by Chairman Ron 
Johnson (R-WI) and Ranking Member Gary Peters (D-MI). The bill 
was referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and 
Governmental Affairs. The Committee considered S. 2769 at a 
business meeting on November 6, 2019.
    During the business meeting, Senator Peters offered an 
amendment for himself and Senator Johnson striking the section 
that would have eliminated the Under Secretary for Management 
quarterly staffing requirement. Both the amendment and the 
legislation as modified by the amendment were passed by voice 
vote en bloc with Senators Johnson, Portman, Paul, Lankford, 
Romney, Scott, Enzi, Hawley, Peters, Carper, Hassan, Sinema, 
and Rosen present.
    Consistent with Committee rules, the Committee reports the 
bill with technical and conforming edits made with the approval 
of the Chairman and Ranking Member.

        IV. Section-by-Section Analysis of the Bill, as Reported


Section 1. Short title

    This section establishes the short title of the bill as the 
``Congressional Reporting Burden Reduction Act''.

Section 2. Elimination of Department of Homeland Security reports

    Subsection (a) combines reports related to antidumping and 
countervailing duties into one report.
    Subsection (b) changes the date that the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency is required to provide Congress with reports 
on the Disaster Relief Fund to the fifth business day of each 
month.
    Subsection (c) eliminates the congressionally-mandated 
report to Congress pertaining to the collection of conference 
fees from non-Federal entities.
    Subsection (d) eliminates a reporting requirement 
pertaining to the funding of operations within the Federal 
Protective Service.
    Subsection (e) eliminates the reporting requirement 
directing the TSA Administrator to prepare an annual report 
regarding unclaimed money at airports.
    Subsection (f) repeals the reporting requirement mandating 
the Attorney General to compile financial data related to the 
genealogy fee and submit it to Congress annually.

Section 3. Elimination of General Services Administration reports

    Subsection (a) changes the periodic requirement for the 
Administrator of General Services to conduct investigations 
into the cost of the use of private airplanes and motorcycles 
by Federal employees into an annual report. It also clarifies 
the contents of the investigation.
    Current law requires a report on a photovoltaic bulb 
program that was never created. Subsection (b) modifies this 
requirement to only require the report if the program is 
created.

Section 4. Elimination of National Archives and Records Administration 
        reports

    Subsection (a) authorizes the Director of the Office of 
Government Information Services to publish an electronic 
version of an annual report on their website instead of 
reporting annually to Congress.
    Subsection (b) repeals section 2106 of title 44, United 
States Code, which contains annual reports by the National 
Archives.
    Subsection (c) repeals a quarterly report on a National 
Archives revolving fund.

Section 5. Elimination of Office of Management and Budget reports

    Subsection (a) repeals a report on the status of E-
government efforts.
    Subsection (b) repeals reporting requirements pertaining to 
flood risk and geospatial data.
    Subsection (c) changes the GPRAMA report on outdated 
reports to take place every other year instead of annually.

Section 6. Reducing frequency of USDS reports

    This section reduces reporting requirements for OMB by 
integrating quarterly reports regarding program savings and 
preeminent information technology projects into one annual 
submission.

                   V. Evaluation of Regulatory Impact

    Pursuant to the requirements of paragraph 11(b) of rule 
XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee has 
considered the regulatory impact of this bill and determined 
that the bill will have no regulatory impact within the meaning 
of the rules. The Committee agrees with the Congressional 
Budget Office's statement that the bill contains no 
intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the 
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs 
on state, local, or tribal governments.

             VI. Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                 Washington, DC, November 18, 2019.
Hon. Ron Johnson,
Chairman, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, U.S. 
        Senate, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for S. 2769, the 
Congressional Reporting Burden Reduction Act.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Matthew 
Pickford.
            Sincerely,
                                         Phillip L. Swagel,
                                                          Director.
    Enclosure.

[GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]
    

    S. 2769 would modify or eliminate several reports that the 
Department of Homeland Security, the General Services 
Administration, the National Archives and Records 
Administration, and the Office of Management and Budget must 
prepare for the Congress. Using information from those agencies 
about those reports, CBO estimates that implementing the bill 
would, on net, reduce costs that are subject to appropriation 
by about $1 million over the next five years.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Matthew 
Pickford. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, 
Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
