The article contains a nice little switch of context in that paragraph;
> Seven of the more than 50 paperwork requirements the White House eliminated on Thursday dealt with the Y2K bug, according to a memo OMB released. Officials at the agency estimate the changes could save tens of thousands of man-hours across the federal government.
They're not talking about the Y2k paperwork requirement when they give their estimate of hours saved, but the totality of the paperwork requirements.
