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

摘要

Many Department of the Interior grantees generate income under programs financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance. This income is a potential source of revenue for either increasing the size of Interior programs or reducing the Federal Government's and grantees' share of costs. However, these objectives were not always being attained because regulations directing the grantees' use of the income did not exist or Interior's agencies and grantees were not always complying with existing regulations. GAO recommends a number of corrective actions.
