RE-O R BY THE



Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Better Communication Could Have

Enhanced Enforcement Of

Federal Oil Pricing Regulations


The Justice and Energy Departments could
have enhanced their efforts to enforce oil
pricing regulations through increased com-
munication and coordination if


     --Justice had provided Energy with de-
     tailed written information on prelim-
     inary decisions to decline prosecution;
     --Energy had provided Justice with in-
     formation, prior to referral, on inves-
     tigations being conducted by its Of-
     fice of Special Counsel; and

     --Energy had better insured that its dis-
     trict Office of Enforcement officials
     identified and forwarded to Energy's
     Office of General Counsel for possible
     civil action by Justice cases where re-
     medial orders had been issued and
     complied with.

Justice agreed with the need to provide Energy
with information on preliminary decisions to
decline prosecution but did not agree that
written notification should be made. Energy
agreed on the need to insure civil penalties are
sought, when appropriate, in cases where re-
medial orders have been issued and complied
with.
