     The Honorable John N. Erlenborn
     Ranking Minority Member
     House Committee on Education and Labor

     Dear Mr. Erlenborn:

          Subject: How OSHA Monitors and Controls Its
                    New Directions Program (GAO/HRD-85-29)

          This is in response to your November 1, 1983, letter and a
     subsequent meeting with the committee staff on November 29,
     1983, requesting us to provide you information on how the Occu-
     pational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) assures that
     funds under its new directions program are spent as intended.
     You also wanted to know

          --why OSHA stopped using a peer review process under which
            persons affiliated with grant recipients evaluated appli-
            cants for new grants and grantee performance and whether
            this was a good system;

          --the amount of program funds received by each of the four
            types of recipients--labor organizations, educational
            institutions, business associations, and other nonprofit
            organizations;

          --whether and, if so, why business associations are reluc-
            tant to apply for grants, and what can be done to make
            grants more attractive to business associations;

          --what other organizations participated with OSHA in fund-
            ing the grants;

          --what percentage of grant funds are used for salaries and
          how much time grantee personnel spend working on grant-
            related activities; and

          --what actions OSHA had taken to investigate and resolve
            concerns that a specific grantee was inappropriately
            spending grant funds.
