Although we found no indicia of fraud, waste, abuse, or other criminal activity, the unauthorized obligations constitute non-monetary loss improper payments.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General initiated this project to summarize findings from prior EPA OIG reports on the EPA’s management of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding for the 2022 Clean School Bus Rebates Program that could help inform the Agency’s decision-making when funding future programs.
Summary of Findings
We reviewed five previously issued EPA OIG reports related to the EPA’s 2022 Clean School Bus Rebates Program. From those, we identified two main issues with the program: the application and selection process and the management of funds. We also analyzed the 11 recommendations that we made to the EPA to address the deficiencies identified in those five prior reports. The Agency has completed or is in the process of implementing corrective actions for all 11 prior recommendations.

The Office of the Inspector General contracted with Sikich CPA LLC to determine whether the Smithsonian approved the contractor’s applications for payment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract.
