D.C. 20548 FILE: B-206272.3 DATE: August 29, 1984 MATTER OF: Civic Action Institute DIGEST: GAO dismisses request to instruct agency to settle claims arising under three cooperative aqreements because, with exceptions not applicable here, GAO does not consider complaints concerning either the award or administration of grants and cooperative aareements, and the existence and amount of claims are clearly matters of administra- tion. The Civic Action Institute requests our Office-to- instruct the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to settle claims arising under three cooperative agreements completed between 1979 and 1981. Because the existence and amount of the claims are matters to be settled by HUD during administration of the cooperative aqreements, we will not consider the request. The Institute argues that S23,198 is due it for costs in excess of the totals authorized under cooperative agree- ments Nos. HA-6348 and HA-6515. It alleges that HUD is responsible for its having incurred these costs and is therefore obligated to pay them. The Institute concedes t:at they are offset by S9,292 that HUD disallowed during fina audit of a third cooperative agreement, No. HA-0010. Thus, the Institute claims a balance due of $13,906 on the -_:ee cooperative aaceements. Also at issue here is inte:t :rned by the institute cooperative agreement funds. Alrnouah the Institute discutes the amount, it states that it is willing to accept $823, the amount HUD arques it must repay under the first two aqreements listed above. This reduces the Institute's claims to $13,083. However, it has offered to zero sum the ratter--that is to settle with HUD on the basis that the amounts claimed eaual the amounts owed co HUD.
