   The Honorable Sidney R. Yates
   Chairman, Subcommittee on Interior
   Committee on Appropriations                           tt41111
   House of Representatives                              113421


   Dear Mr. Chairman:

         Subject: Unexpended Fund Balance in the Indian Health
                   Service Water and Sanitation Facility
                   Construction Program (HRD-80-124)

         This report responds to your September 19, 1979, request
    concerning the unexpended fund balance in the Indian Health
    Service's (IHS') water and sanitation facility construction
    program.

         As agreed, we examined the program to determine whether:

         --IHS budgeting procedures can be changed to reduce the
           amount of appropriated funds needed for facility con-
           struction in a given year.

         --IHS allocation and obligation procedures are contrib-
           uting to the size of the unexpended balance.

         --IHS is receiving more funds than it can effectively
           use for water and sanitation facility construction.

         --The Congress should consider different ways of pro-
            viding funds to IHS for water and sanitation facility
            construction.

          --IHS' use of the memorandum of agreement as an obligat-
            ing document is legal.

                                                          (102051)
