Administrative Burden Baseline: 2020
In its Red Tape Reduction Action Plan, the Government committed to build on the efforts of the Paperwork Burden Reduction Initiative by requiring departments, through the Administrative Burden Baseline, to provide a count of the requirements in federal regulations that impose an administrative burden on business.
All federal regulations that are administered by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) that have requirements that impose administrative burden on business are identified below. The total 2020 count is 498. The total June 30, 2014 baseline count is 484.
For 2014 and 2015, the Administrative Burden Baseline count for the Controlled Goods Regulations published was 388. This figure was adjusted to account for a form that was omitted from the initial baseline counting exercise. The form had 96 data fields, changing the initial baseline count from 388 to 484.
The Department's Administrative Burden count has not changed since June 30, 2017. No new administrative burdens have been added to PSPC's Administrative Burden count for the period July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020.
