Bureaucracy, confusing paperwork, and complex regulations—or what public policy scholars Pamela Herd and Donald Moynihan call administrative burdens—often introduce delay and frustration into our experiences with government agencies. Administrative burdens diminish the effectiveness of public programs and can even block individuals from fundamental rights like voting. In AdministrativeBurden, Herd and Moynihan document that the administrative burdens citizens regularly encounter in their interactions with the state are not simply unintended byproducts of governance, but the result of deliberate policy choices. Because burdens affect people’s perceptions of government and often perpetuate long-standing inequalities, understanding why administrative burdens exist and how they can be reduced is essential for maintaining a healthy public sector. Through in-depth case studies of federal programs and controversial legislation, the authors show that administrative burdens are the nuts-and-bolts of policy design. Regarding controversial issues such as voter enfranchisement or abortion rights, lawmakers often use administrative burdens to limit access to rights or services they oppose. For instance, legislators have implemented administrative burdens such as complicated registration requirements and strict voter-identification laws to suppress turnout of African American voters. Similarly, the right to an abortion is legally protected, but many states require women seeking abortions to comply with burdens such as mandatory waiting periods, ultrasounds, and scripted counseling. As Herd and Moynihan demonstrate, administrative burdens often disproportionately affect the disadvantaged who lack the resources to deal with the financial and psychological costs of navigating these obstacles. However, policymakers have sometimes reduced administrative burdens or shifted them away from citizens and onto the government. One example is Social Security, which early administrators of the program implemented in the 1930s with the goal of minimizing burdens for beneficiaries. As a result, the take-up rate is about 100 percent because the Social Security Administration keeps track of peoples’ earnings for them, automatically calculates benefits and eligibility, and simply requires an easy online enrollment or visiting one of 1,200 field offices. Making more programs and public services operate this efficiently, the authors argue, requires adoption of a nonpartisan, evidence-based metric for determining when and how to institute administrative burdens, with a bias toward reducing them. By ensuring that the public’s interaction with government is no more onerous than it need be, policymakers and administrators can reduce inequality, boost civic engagement, and build an efficient state that works for all citizens.

The Administrative Burdens Reduction Programme, co-ordinated by the Better Regulation Executive (BRE), aims to reduce by a quarter by 2010 the cost to businesses of complying with the administrative burdens imposed on them by government regulations. The NAO has now examined the first full year of implementation to review progress in delivering the Programme, assess achievements of departments and highlight good practice. In 2007 departments implemented over 150 specific measures to reduce administrative burdens and the majority predicted that they will meet their reduction target by 2010. The total reported in-year savings of £800 million should be treated with caution as they are indicative estimates of the actual savings and have been subject to only limited independent validation. The Programme is providing an impetus across departments to reduce burdens and the targets have created a stronger incentive to deliver. The report finds a small positive shift in businesses' perceptions about regulation. 46 per cent of businesses thought regulation was fair and proportionate, compared to 39 per cent in 2007. 70 per cent said that completing paper work was a burden, down from 74 per cent in 2007. However, only 1 per cent of businesses believed that complying with regulation had become less time consuming in 2007 and 40 per cent said it has become more time consuming. The wider impact of the Programme remains unproven. The Better Regulation Taskforce's original aspiration was that the Programme could contribute to a £16 billion increase in GDP. But there is still limited evidence on the link between reducing administrative burdens and improving business performance.
