Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Highlights

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Labor's discretionary grant award process, focusing on: (1) the noncompetitive discretionary grants awarded during fiscal years 1990 through 1992; (2) how Labor justifies grants of $25,000 or more; (3) the systems Labor uses to track discretionary grants and grantee performance; and (4) the application review mechanisms used by Labor to detect potential conflicts of interest involving former employees.
