The Department of the Interior Should Improve Its Policies and Practices on Grant-Related Income

Gao ID: GGD-83-75 August 26, 1983

GAO performed a governmentwide review of federal agencies' and grantees' policies and practices on handling income generated under federally assisted programs.

GAO found that a number of federal agencies, including the Department of the Interior, had not established regulations addressing some grant-related income issues, were not conforming to the Office of Management and Budget's grant-related income standards, and were not adequately implementing their grant-related income regulations. As a result, the objective which the income standards sought to attain, that of using the income to increase the size of the federally assisted programs or to reduce the federal government's and grantees' shares of program costs, was not always being attained.
