Cost Recovery Practices Inconsistent

With Government Policy




/hen the public and private sectors request
over nment agencies' goods and services,
cost recovery and user charges are required.
Although the requirements had been stated
ip agency policy directives, the Environ-
mental Data and Information Service (EDIS)
either did not adhere to these policies in
making its pricing determinations or did not
apply them uniformly and consistently
across the agency. The cost recovery prac-
tices of EDIS's data centers resulted in both
over- and undercharges.

GAO recommends the agency establish and
disseminate operating instructions consis-
lent with Department of Commerce policy
ond implement a system for monitoring the
data centers. GAO makes several other
• ecommendations to ensure that their prac-
ices are consistent with Government policy.
