The Environmental Protection Agency now imposes nearly 200 million hours of paperwork to comply with its regulations, as new rules have skyrocketed under the Obama administration.

A new report released by the American Action Forum, a center-right policy institute, found complying with the agency’s rules now requires 188 million paperwork hours, the equivalent of 95,000 Americans working full time for a year.

This is one of many things  i did the past 30 years before retiring.  Way back when an Expansion Industrial Air permit application was about 20-30 pages, depending on circumstances.  Now days?  They take up an entire bookcase.
