                COMPTROLLER GENERAL. OF THE UNITED STATES
                         WASHINGTON. D.C. 20348

                                                          114440


B-197901                                           FEBRUARY 24,1981

To the President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives

   (The Panama Canal Act (22 U.S.C. 3601) requires the
Comptroller General of the United States to certify the/Lsti-
mated revenues to be deposited in the Panama Canal Commission's
Funjby the Panama Canal Commission. This report responds to
this requirement for fiscal year 1982 estimated revenues.

     Section 1302(c)(2) of the Act states that:

           No funds may be appropriated to or for
           the use of the Commission for such fiscal
           year in excess of (A) the amount of revenues
           deposited in the Panama Canal Commission
           Fund during such fiscal year, as such
           amount is estimated by the Secretary of
           Defense 11 and certified by the Comptroller
           General of the United States at the time
           the budget request for the Commission for
           such fiscal year is submitted to the
           Congress ***.  (Underscoring supplied.)

     The Act provides no criteria for us to use in certifying
the estimated revenues. Therefore, we proceeded by testing the
Commission's computations of fiscal year 1982 estimates, review-
ing the method employed to compile the estimates and forecasts,
and reviewing actual revenues for fiscal year 1980 and first
quarter of fiscal year 1981. We previous-ly certified the esti-
mated revenues for fiscal years 1980 and 1981.








1/ Duties assigned by the Act to the Secretary of Defense were
    subsequently delegated to the Secretary of the Army and by
    him to the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works).
