HRD-80-109 1 (1980-09-18)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabbap0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 B-195620 SEPTEMBER 18, 1980 The Honorable Ray Marshall The Secretary of Labor Dear Mr. Secretary: Subject: J--e Employment And Training Administration Should Stop Using State Agencies To Pass Funds Through To Contractor7(HRD-80-109) Offices in Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA), by arranging for pass through agreements to obtain services for several of their activities, have effectively circumvented procurement and award administration safeguards designed to ensure that Federal moneys are properly and effec- tively spent and that agencies are accountable for their pro- curement actions. A pass through agreement is a procurement initiated and principally carried out by ETA, but entered into by a State and a contractor using Federal funds granted to the State. The results of the work have nationwide or regional r application rather than primarily accruing to the State. We discussed with Labor headquarters and region IX offi- cials and with Nevada Employment Security Department officials the origin of and contractual responsibilities for nine pass through agreements in Nevada. In addition, ETA officials ident- ified nine other possible pass through agreements (nationwide) for us. We limited our work to the Nevada agreements since at the time the agreements were identified for us the nine Nevada agreements comprised half the number of agreements and $2,161,737 (60 percent) of the $3,606,419 nationwide total. The Nevada agreements ranged from $14,840 to $1,350,000 and spanned several fiscal years. These nine agreements were sche- duled to terminate prior to 1980, although one agreement is now handled through the State of Michigan and is scheduled to end in 1981. 11333ill E 1 llIl Il II 133 (203060) ;7, id HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION ,2
