U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program Grants Awarded to the New Jersey State Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Fish and Wildlife, From July 1, 2014, Through June 30, 2016
We audited the costs claimed by the New Jersey State Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Fish and Wildlife, under grants awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program. The audit included claims totaling $50.9 million on 35 grants that were open during the State fiscal years that ended June 30, 2015, and June 30, 2016. The audit also covered the Division’s compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and FWS guidelines, including those related to collecting and using hunting and fishing license revenue and reporting program income.We found that the Division generally complied with applicable grant accounting and regulatory requirements, but did not (1) report losing control of real property purchased with grant funds and license revenue, (2) submit Federal financial reports (SF-425s) in a timely manner, (3) properly manage its personal equipment inventory, or (4) provide adequate support for the in-kind hours claimed as a portion of the grant match requirement.Both the FWS and the Department agreed with our six recommendations, and they will work together to implement corrective actions.

The OIG investigated an allegation that a senior official with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) committed perjury while testifying in an official capacity at a Federal trial in 2017. In a motion to dismiss, the defense quoted a 2008 letter signed by the official that, according to the defense, proved the official’s testimony was untruthful.We confirmed that some of the official’s testimony contradicted the letter, but we found no evidence that the official knowingly provided false information during the testimony. While the official did sign the 2008 letter quoted in the defense’s motion to dismiss, she did not write the letter, nor did she review or discuss it before providing her testimony in 2017.
