Eligibility of Conservation Reserve Program Climate-Smart Practice Incentive Payments
OIG reviewed whether Conservation Reserve Program recipients who received Climate-Smart Practice Incentive payments in FY 2023 were eligible for the incentive.
An Amtrak engineer based in Raleigh, North Carolina, received a written reprimand and a 40-day suspension without pay on October 7, 2024. Our investigation found that the employee violated company policies by using the company’s trademarked logo and a picture of one of its locomotives on the website for his personal business.
We identified the Commission’s major management and performance challenges by recognizing and assessing key themes from OIG audits, evaluations, hotline complaints, investigations, and an internal risk assessment, as well as reports published by external oversight bodies, such as the Office of Personnel Management and the Government Accountability Office. Additionally, we reviewed previous management challenge reports to determine if those challenges remain significant for this submission. Finally, we considered publicly available information and internal Commission records. In addition to the management challenges, we are providing management’s statements regarding prior and planned actions to address each challenge. The resulting product provides greater transparency to achieve improved agency performance.
