Notification of Concerns Regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Practices and Procedures Pertaining to Interviews in Certain Security Division Investigations
SUMMARY The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 allocated $8.8 billion to the Department of Energy for issuing grants to states, U.S. territories, and Indian Tribes for distribution to the public in the form of home energy rebates. The Department’s Office of State and Community Energy Programs is responsible for the oversight and guidance of $218.8 million in grants awarded to Georgia. The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) administers Georgia’s Home Energy Rebates programs.
We initiated this inspection to assess GEFA’s internal controls to administer the Home Energy Rebates programs under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
We determined that not all GEFA’s controls were adequate to administer the Home Energy Rebates programs under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Specifically, GEFA did not have a written policy for monitoring and assessing contractor and implementer performance for its oversight of two Home Energy Rebates programs. It is crucial that GEFA have a monitoring policy that includes clear objectives, methodologies, and responsibilities for assessing contractor performance. To its credit, and in response to our inquiry, GEFA developed a monitoring policy to address our finding.
A formal monitoring policy will help GEFA identify, assess, and respond to program risks and remediate deficiencies to ensure proper stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
To address the issue identified in this report, we made one recommendation that, if fully executed, should help ensure that GEFA’s internal controls are adequate to implement the Home Energy Rebates programs.
Our Semiannual Report to Congress covering the period April 1 to September 30, 2025, highlights the OIG’s audit and investigative accomplishments during the past 6 months.
The Office of Inspector General is issuing this report to assess the U.S. Small Business Administration’s initial response to severe storms in Missouri and Kentucky, including staffing, customer service response, outreach, volume of loan applications, and timeliness of loan approvals.
We found that staffing levels were adequate, customers were satisfied with the customer service provided on-site, outreach was conducted promptly and in accordance with internal policy, and disaster loan applications were processed timely.
This report does not contain any recommendations, and the agency did not provide any comments.
Evaluation of the U.S. Virgin Islands’ Capacity to Manage and Use Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Funds for Clean Water and Drinking Water Infrastructure Improvements
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General conducted this evaluation to determine the U.S. Virgin Islands’ capacity to manage and use Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funds for clean water and drinking water infrastructure improvements.
Summary of Findings
The U.S. Virgin Islands, or USVI, has the financial capacity to manage and use its Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, or IIJA, funds. However, the USVI faces human capital-, organizational-, and stakeholder-related challenges that limit its capacity to manage and use its IIJA funds for clean water and drinking water construction grants.
