We investigated allegations that an oil and gas company improperly reported oil and gas production from Federal leases to the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR), which resulted in a loss of public mineral royalties.We found the company failed to properly report production and mineral royalties to ONRR as alleged, but we did not find the company intended to defraud the Government. The improper reporting occurred because the company did not provide adequate lease production information to the contractor it hired to perform the production and royalty reporting. Further, the contractor was unfamiliar with ONRR’s reporting procedures and requirements.
Due to the importance of identifying and correcting safety issues, we performed an evaluation to determine if corrective actions were being implemented to address observations identified through the TVA Observation Program (TOP). We found corrective actions were generally being implemented to address observations identified through TOP. In addition, we found Local Health and Safety Committees were generally taking action to address negative trends in at-risk observations. However, we identified opportunities for improvement related to (1) at-risk observations that should not have been included as part of TOP, (2) documentation of corrective actions in SafetyNet, and (3) closure of some at-risk observations in SafetyNet.

An Amtrak electrician in Chicago, Illinois, resigned from employment on April 14, 2020, following our investigation which revealed the employee violated company policies by establishing a business and using it to engage in fraudulent credit card schemes for personal gain during a portion of his continuous FMLA leave. The employee admitted that he used the proceeds from his business-related fraud scheme to travel and party. Further, he was initially dishonest with our agents when asked about his conduct. Criminal judicial proceedings are pending.
