Improvement Required to Safeguard Enforcement and Inspection Credentials

摘要

Some internal controls over credentials were not being implemented. In Region 3, where we conducted an in-depth review, we initially found that the required annual 10 percent inventory of credentials had not been completed for EPA personnel and was not being documented for non-EPA personnel. As of February 15, 2012, OARM personnel informed us that all regions, with the exception of Region 5, have completed their EPA employee credential inventory for 2011. The credential-holder signature upon receipt of a new credential was also not being collected for all EPA employees.
