Highlights
In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed 436 assignments made under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act of 1970 (IPA) that were on file at the Departments of Health and Human Services, Commerce, and the Interior, and at the Environmental Protection Agency. GAO was asked to determine whether agencies were paying a greater share of IPA assignment costs than the benefits warranted and whether assignments benefited the Federal Government or the agency paying for the service.
