Does the Federal Aviation Administration Comply with the Improper Payments and Elimination Recovery Act When Awarding Airport Improvement Grants

handle is hein.journals/tportl45 and id is 75 raw text is: Article Does the Federal Aviation Administration Comply With the Improper Payments and Elimination Recovery Act When Awarding Airport Improvement Grants? Raymond Bender Frustrated by nearly half a century of extravagant spending and bal- looning federal deficits (now over $22,300,000,000,000), Congress in 2010 passed the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act (IPERA). Congress directed federal agencies to identify and eliminate federal waste and recover improper payments made. Congress mainly targeted federal entitlement programs (Medicare, Medicaid, and Earned Income Tax Credit) and Government grants to state and local entities (Entities). In the five years following IPERA's enactment, the federal agencies charged with implementing it-the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) which re- spectively serve as the spending watchdog and implement the President's budget-have identified many federal agency grant problems. This arti- cle focuses on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a Department of Transportation (DOT) Agency. Currently, DOT and other federal transportation agencies track state and local expenditures after grants are made but fail to assure that grants awarded for projects are properly justi- fied consistent with federal agency requirements. 57
