We Jisassed the prograr with ,ead-uarters officials, regiocnal c-pliana and enforce.nt directors, and field auditirs and reviietd available prsgrac doctnerts. On June 13, 1975. we briefed you -and your staff reters on the results of our review. This letter suwarlzes the matters discussed in that briefing. Specifically %v fourd that: --The effective manpower assigned to the vroject has been far less than the level reported to FEA headquarters. --Inconsistant auditirg among FEA reSions has , resulted In substantial audit effort in areas un- likely to yield evidence of violations. --Investigations have been delayed because of complex supplier relationships, inadequate supplier records, and poor coordination aong FEA regicnal offices. --Regulatory questlons have inp ded completion of a ntrber of 1r-vs:Igatfons. While there has been considerable pulicity e;arding Project UtIlity, we found that the auont of Iuildtions deected has not justi- fied the erphasis placed on the project. Also, tbe violations detected have rot been unique to the utility area but apply to other fuel sup- pliers' customers as well. OSP-?6-Z
