The CFPB Can Enhance Certain Aspects of Its Examiner Commissioning Program
Data Reliability Issues Impede the EPA’s Ability to Ensure Its Allotment of Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Funding for Lead Service Line Replacements Reflects Needs
Summary of FindingsAs we evaluated the execution of the EPA’s 7th Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey and Assessment, or DWINSA, we saw indications that a lack of internal controls may have caused the EPA to base its fiscal year 2023 allotment of $3 billion in IIJA funds for lead service line replacements on inaccurate data. As such, there is a risk that the EPA did not allot the fiscal year 2023 IIJA funds, and will not allot future IIJA funds, according to states’ lead-service-line-replacement needs.
We evaluated the Defense Intelligence Agency’s (DIA’s) compliance with the Payment Integrity Information Act (PIIA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023. The evaluation was conducted from January 2024 to April 2024.
The objective of the evaluation is to determine whether the U.S. AbilityOne Commission's 2022- 2026 Strategic Plan has the necessary framework, including specific operational initiatives/objectives and associated performance measures. The evaluation will be conducted using Quality Standards for Inspection and Evaluation, issued by the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency.
The City of Jackson’s funding for its water system did not address the capacity issues at the O.B. Curtis Water Treatment Plant, leading to chronic problems with operations and maintenance. Various Jackson departments did not effectively communicate the water system’s capacity issues internally, which only served to exacerbate the problems facing O.B. Curtis and the city’s water system. In addition, while the Mississippi State Department of Health, or MSDH, took informal compliance and enforcement actions with Jackson, it did not provide additional technical assistance to Jackson through the Local Assistance and Other State Programs set-aside. We also found that the MSDH could have been more proactive in the years leading up to Jackson’s water system failure in providing flexible Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan options for disadvantaged communities like Jackson. The MSDH did not make these flexible loan and subsidy options available to disadvantaged communities, including Jackson, until after June 2021. Also, only after Jackson requested a refinance in October 2022 did the MSDH approve refinancing the city’s DWSRF loans.
