Is Red Tape Holding Your Business Back?
Let federal decision-makers hear from you. The Office of Advocacy’s Red Tape Hotline gives small businesses a way to share how federal regulations are making it harder to grow, hire, or compete.
Why the Red Tape Hotline Matters
Every day, small business owners deal with federal rules that are outdated, duplicative, or unclear. Some add unnecessary costs or delays that make it harder to stay competitive.
The Office of Advocacy uses your feedback to push for smarter, more effective regulation, so your input can directly influence federal policymaking.
What Kinds of Issues Can You Report?
You can use this hotline to tell us about:
- Regulations that are costly, confusing, or outdated
- Permitting or licensing delays
- Duplicative or conflicting rules
- Excessive paperwork or unclear guidance
Whether it’s one regulation or a broader issue, your experience can help shape the change.
