Book Description
As part of a review on the paperwork burden imposed on American business by federal agencies, GAO examined the efforts of the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to manage their paperwork requirements affecting the trucking industry. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) imposes a heavy paperwork burden on the trucking industry. It requires duplicate information and is not using collected data efficiently. In selecting companies for safety inspection, the FHWA Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety investigators generally rely on their own knowledge of motor carrier activities rather than requesting and using available summarized information to identify those companies most needing safety inspections. ICC does not have the controls necessary to ensure that its paperwork requirements are properly prepared and cleared before they are imposed on the public. During the past 6 years, 28 of the 70 currently cleared requirements resubmitted to GAO for approval were either incomplete, contained inadequate justification, or had issues which resulted in conditional clearances; nine other instances were identified where uncleared forms resulted in unauthorized data collection. The ICC commodity statistics report is of little use because it is incomplete, inaccurate, and out of date. As early as 1975, ICC knew that it did not need its quarterly loss and damage report. In 1978, DOT stated that it only needed semiannual rather than quarterly data. In 1978, a task force reviewed the ICC financial and statistical reporting requirements and made recommendations which it estimated would save the Government and businesses millions of dollars. Action was taken on several recommendations, some were disapproved with limited justification, and others were deferred pending possible deregulation of the industry.

The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report
Author: Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission
Publisher: Cosimo, Inc.
ISBN: 1616405414
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 692
Book Description
The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker. He has been reporting on economic crises since the 1980's when he was with ABC News. His film In Debt We Trust warned of the economic meltdown in 2006. He has since written three books on the subject including Plunder: Investigating Our Economic Calamity (Cosimo Books, 2008), and The Crime Of Our Time: Why Wall Street Is Not Too Big to Jail (Disinfo Books, 2011), a companion to his latest film Plunder The Crime Of Our Time.
