D.C.h L ij b-197798 March 5, 1980 CD 0-156 The Honorable William Ii, larsha Ranking Ninority llember, Corimittee - F, on Public Works and Transportation [louse of Representatives Dear Hr, Ilarsha; This is to advise you of out concerns over certain requirements provided for in the proposed Aicport and Air- way System Development Act (Senate bill 1648) and to request your support in any actions you or %he Committee may take to amend the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970. iNDEPENDENT AUDIT OF GRANTS Sybsection 20(c) of the Senate bilI wouldcontinue the requirements now prcvidad for in subsetion 26(c) of the Airport andi Airway Development Act of 197O 1(49 u9s*c. 1726(c)) which requires (1) grant recipients to, file with th; Comptroller General copies of any independent audit reports relating to the use of grant proceeds, and (2) the Comptrolle' General to report to Congrevs on the con- tonts of these audit reports. Our experience to date with subsection 2C c), of the Airport and Airway Development Act leads us to' believe that this subsection shduid be repealed and thd e,,ore we are opposed to subsection 20(c) of the Senate bill,. We have yet to receive anyaindependent auditreportv ) on the use of grant proceeds. However, this is not .surp,sing as we arc, not aqo are of any specific requirements tliat require grant rcipients to obtain audits of the niture referredto in subsection 26(c) of the act. Iri\add'ition, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAM) has advis'kd us that neit:her its r ecords nor its audit efforts hihyois clooel\that grant rccipients have arranged for independent audits of grant proceeds. Grant recipients really ha'we no need for ,independent audits of this nature asoFAA or its deignated contractors audit the disposition of grant proceeds. 1 ' . qrCi ~.ID ,/ L L i. bL Lt ~i L ~Uh lk
