MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 In line with President Rodrigo Duterte\u2019s directive to cut red tape, the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) is pushing for the implementation of its Memorandum Circular (MC) 2020-07 or the guidelines on the designation of an Anti-Red Tape Committee (CART) in all government agencies.<\/p>\n

In a news release on Monday, the ARTA also said it will be rolling out the guidelines nationwide via ARTA\u2019s Facebook Live at 1:30 pm on Monday to help agencies effectively comply with the memorandum circular.<\/p>\n

“The President’s directive to ‘cut red tape’ is a directive to all agencies and instrumentalities of the government which is why all of us must improve fast,\u201d ARTA Director General Jeremiah Belgica said.<\/p>\n

Belgica said the creation of a CART on agencies \u201cwill help establish a national network of regulatory reform champions within the government bureaucracy and will be concentrated on addressing inefficiency and red-tape matters within their own backyards.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than anything else, the battle against red-tape ultimately involves a change in paradigm from a regulatory mindset into a more citizen-centric mindset,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On Sep. 30, 2020, ARTA issued the MC 2020-07 directing all government agencies including state universities, local government units (LGUs), government-owned or -controlled corporations, and other government instrumentalities in the Philippines and abroad providing services covering business and nonbusiness related transactions to designate a CART.<\/p>\n

The designated CART shall be tasked to ensure that the agency will comply with the provisions of Republic Act 11032, its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), and with the subsequent issuances by ARTA.<\/p>\n

The CART\u2019S creation is mandated under Section 1 of the law\u2019s IRR which states that each agency shall designate a unit to perform streamlining and reengineering of systems and procedures.<\/p>\n

Among others, the CART shall conduct compliance cost analysis, time and motion studies, evaluation and improvement of all the agency\u2019s systems and procedures to reduce bureaucratic red tape and processing time.<\/p>\n

It will also be responsible for periodically reviewing the agency\u2019s Citizen\u2019s Charter and ensuring that the agency strictly complies with the 3-7-20 prescribed processing time for transactions and the zero-contact policy.<\/p>\n

The committee will comprise a chairperson, vice chairperson and at least five other members.<\/p>\n

The head of the agency or any official he\/she designates (who must at least be the third highest ranking official in the agency) shall serve as the committee\u2019s chairperson. The specific functions and composition of the CART will be discussed further in the roll-out on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The MC 2020-07 has been authorized and approved by the Ease of Doing Business and Anti-Red Tape Council on Aug. 5, 2020, pursuant to Section 19 of Republic Act 11032. Prior to its issuance, ARTA also held consultation meetings with and had incorporated inputs from national government agencies and LGUs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
