FEMA’s Management of Mission Assignments to Other Federal Agencies Needs Improvement
Although the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) processed and obligated funds timely to other Federal agencies (OFA), it did not provide sufficient oversight to ensure OFAs used pandemic funding as required.

During our unannounced inspection of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Torrance County Detention Facility (Torrance) in Estancia, NM, we found that Torrance complied with ICE detention standards for detainee grievances and the voluntary work program. We could not assess compliance with segregation standards because no detainees were in segregation at, or near, the time of our visit.
We conducted this review to provide considerations for the EPA to strengthen its corrective action certification process. When the Agency certifies to the completion of corrective actions that have not been completed, it leads to inaccurate data in the Agency’s audit tracking system, limits the OIG’s assurance that the corrective actions reported by the Agency are reliable, and may give the public and Congress the wrong impression regarding the EPA’s progress in addressing OIG recommendations.
