MARqH a,4982 The Honorable John D. Dingell Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Committee on Energy and Commerce House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: Department of Energy's Fiscal Year 1981 Reductions in Force (FPCD-82-33) On September 10, 1981, our staff met with a representa- tive of your office to discuss your concerns on the fiscal year 1981 reductions in force (RIFs) at the Department of Energy (DOE) in which 654 employees were separated from Fed- eral employment. At that meeting, we were asked to determine whether the RIFs involving the Office of the Assistant Secre- tary for Conservation and Renewable Energy and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Congressional, Intergovernmental, and Public Affairs were conducted in accordance with RIF laws and regulations. We were also asked to determine the legal- ity of DOE's conducting a RIF without waiting for final fiscal year 1982 congressional budget action and to determine if sev- erance payments accruing in fiscal year 1982 from fiscal year 1981 RIFs could be paid from 1982 appropriations. On October 23, 1981, we briefed Subcommittee staff on the results of our work and subsequently testified before your Subcommittee on October 29, 1981. We concluded that DOE did not violate any RIF laws or regulations in the two offices we reviewed. We also concluded that it was legal for DOE to carry cut a RIF without waiting for final fiscal year 1982 congressional budget action and that the fiscal year 1982 DOE appropriations made in an unrestricted lump-sum form can be used to pay severance costs for employees separated as a result of a RIF in fiscal year 1981.
