The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General conducted this evaluation to determine whether the EPA has used available resources, including funds appropriated by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, to improve the permitting of Class VI wells under its Underground Injection Control Program.
Summary of Findings
The EPA met Congress’s intent to spend annual and supplemental appropriations to grow Class VI Program expertise and capacity and improve Class VI permitting with one exception. It did not spend $1.2 million of fiscal year 2023 annual appropriations within the available time frame for their intended purpose: to support training for personnel who regulate Class VI wells. Otherwise, the Agency successfully used annual appropriations to, among other things, increase the number of staff focused on Class VI work, enhance its data and information management tools, and develop additional guidance for Class VI Program implementation.
The U.S. Postal Service plays a vital role in the life of this nation, serving nearly 169 million addresses nationwide. To deliver on its mission today and in the future, the agency needs to recruit and hire employees in every part of the country. However, the Postal Service currently faces several workforce-related challenges.
To inform USPS’s recruiting, hiring, and onboarding strategies for its pre-career workforce, this paper reviews a sample of organizations in the public and private sectors to identify their best practices. Pre-career employees are temporary workers who do not receive the same benefits as career employees and are not always guaranteed a regular schedule, providing USPS with cost and operational flexibility.
