CED-81-49 1 (1981-04-16)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabbum0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Department Of Agriculture Should Have More Authority To Assess User Charges Federal appropriations could be reduced as much as $48 million annually if the recipients of Department of Agriculture special benefit services were charged for all costs, except those which can be readily identified with public benefits. Marked differences now exist in the degree to which recipients bear the costs of these services. As a result, certain sectors of the agricultural marketing industry are receiv- ing preferential treatment at taxpayers' ex- pense. In most cases, el iminating the inconsistencies and inequities in the Department's user charge practices will require congressional action--a new or amended general User Charge Statute, amendments to the funding provisions of some program acts, and repeal of other pro- gram acts. Further Department study is needed, however, to determine appropriate funding policies for some services. CED-81-49 APRIL 16, 1981 (/1 - - - - --I l , l IIII 114923 / .. .. ......... 13 ,/ / 9
