This Insight provides an introduction to the organization and duties of the PRAC. Organization Section 15010(b) of the CARES Act establishes the PRAC within the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), the oversight and coordination body for the inspector general community. The statutory members of the PRAC under Section 15010(c)(2) are: the chairperson; the departmental inspectors general of the Departments of Defense (DOD), Education, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Justice, Labor, and the Treasury; the Small Business Administration inspector general; and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. In addition to those members, the chairperson of the PRAC may designate any other inspector general who serves in an agency that expends or obligates covered funds or is involved in the Coronavirus response to serve on the PRAC (@15010(c)(2)(E)). The CIGIE chairperson (currently Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz) has the authority to select the PRAC chairperson and vice chairperson from among the PRAC's statutory members (@15010(c)(1)). The CIGIE chairperson is required to appoint an executive director within 30 days of enactment (i.e., April 26, 2020) and a deputy executive director within 90 days of enactment (i.e., June 25, 2020). When making each appointment, the CIGIE chairperson is required to consult the majority and minority leadership of the House and the Senate.
