In some FAA offices, we must print out, sign, and submit paper copies of time & accounting sheets, Labor Distribution Reporting (LDR) , and leave slips. All these copies come from electronic systems that are password protected for login. Allow all electronic record keeping systems to be the official record and eliminate requirements to print out hard copies to be filed.

In the FAA, every line of business (LOB) has a separate training development organization. The Instructional Systems Specialists (ISS) that develop training are not technical experts.

This may even be possible government-wide.

Make it mandatory to submit a tax free form to those states that allow federal government employees to use temporay lodging tax free. Revise travel programs (such as GovTrip) to provide the appropriate tax free form when an authorization is created. Create an alert in the travel program for locations identified as tax free lodging available when an expenses for lodging taxes in included.

Initiate flat rate for lodging & per diem for travel. Completely eliminate requirement to provide receipts for anything less than $100. This would cut down on time to submit, review, approve, and audit claims.
