Modernizes paperwork reduction by requiring federal agencies to minimize information collection burdens.

The Paperwork Reduction Modernization Act of 2026 amends section 3506 of title 44, United States Code, to mandate federal agencies to minimize information collection burdens. It requires agencies to evaluate alternatives that reduce the burden on individuals providing information, such as using existing data or electronic collection methods. Agencies must review their information collections every three years to identify unnecessary or duplicative collections. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget must ensure that information collections are the least burdensome necessary.
