This report provides the results of our review of a complaint received in January 2015 from a confidential complainant regarding the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS, or NOAA Fisheries) Alaska Regional Office’s use of grants and cooperative agreements and whether they are used to acquire personal services, thereby supplementing its full-time equivalent (FTE) workforce.
