Kreps The Secretary of Commerce ',&O00? Dear Madam Secretary: In December 1978, the General Accounting Office began ajsurvey of the Economic Development Administration's (EDA's) implementation of the title IX program. The program, which was designed to save or create jobs and stimulate the economy of depressed areas, has been recently reorganized by EDA to improve its administration and effectiveness. As a re- sult, our survey was suspended to allow EDA enough time to carry out the program changes. However, we noted during the survey that grantees' compliance with reporting requirements has been weak. Grant- ees have not submitted required reports, and EDA has not made sufficient effort to collect progress data from grantees. Further, the Congress lacks data on the program's effective- ness in assisting communities. The title IX annual reports submitted to the Congress merely reiterate the intended pur- pose of grants approved during the reporting year. For the most part, EDA has followed the practice of not providing program results data on prior year grants. The survey was conducted at EDA headquarters in Washing- ton, D.C., and its Atlantic regional office in Philadelphia, - Pennsylvania. The survey was limited to 21 title IX grants ly within the Atlantic region approved during 1975-77. These grants were selected because enough time has passed that 1 progress should have occurred and grantee reports should o . have been submitted. Grant files and pertinent title IX policies, procedures, and guidelines were reviewed. We discussed the grants' status with EDA project managers and \ visited four grantees for onsite observation. The 1975-78 \. 9 title IX annual reports to the Congress were also analyzed. 05CED-79-10 (069170)
