handle is hein.gao/gaobabcur0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITE STATES.S WASHINGTON D.. 205, B-202194 )ANUARY 13, 1982 The Honorable Bo Ginn Chairman, Subcommittee on Military Construction Appropriations li U~11 Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives 117288 Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: The Department of Defense's Energy Conservation Investment Program Ueeds Closer Monitoring (EMD-82-4) On February 19, 1981, we provided your office an interim report on the status of projects and funds for the Department of Defense's (DOD's) Energy Conservation Investment Program (ECIP). Enclosure Z of this report contains the overall results of our evaluation of DOD's management of ECIP. We are recommending that the Subcommitteeimprove its ability to monitor ECIP by obtaining reports from DOD. Because of the Subcommittee's concern that ECIP funds 1/ were being used on non-energy conservation projects, your office requested that we provide the Subcommittee data on the status of ECIP projects and funds. In our interim report, we stated that about $79 million in fiscal year 1979 and 1980 ECIP funds had been reallocated or could become available for reallocation to other military construction projects. in responding to our.in- terim report, DOD stated that our estimate of ECIP funds reallo- cated or available for reallocation was overstated. DOD further stated that management flexibility was needed in the use of mili- tary construction program funds and that such flexibility was consistent with congressional intent. The difference in views concerning the amount of funds avail- able for reallocation primarily centers on when deferred project funds should be considered available. For our purposes, we con- sidered the funds to be available at the time the projects were deferred. DOD, on the other hand, did not consider deferred project funds to be reallocated because many of these projects 1/ECIP funds is not a line item appropriation. The term refers to monies in the military construction appropriation which the Congress recognizes will be used to pay for energy conservation projects. 62/9io~(003488)
