The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development, in making appropriations for the Department of Transportation for fiscal year (FY) 2006, directed the Office of Inspector General to provide a follow-up to its September 2003 report on the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) management of and controls over Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs). This is our follow-up report. We began this review in August 2005 but suspended it in October 2005 to devote resources to our review of internal controls associated with disaster relief after Hurricane Katrina. This review was re-opened in May 2006. We found that policies and procedures established by FAA have been effective in improving the Agencys management of and controls over the MOU process. Accordingly, we are not making any recommendations in this report. We briefed FAA officials from the Office of Labor Management Relations on the results of our audit on September 13, 2006, and have incorporated their comments as appropriate. Based on the results of our review, no additional actions are required by FAA. Our objective was to determine whether FAAs newly established internal policies and procedures have been effective in improving the Agencys management of and controls over MOUs. This review was conducted between August 2005 and September 2006 and included visits to FAAs Headquarters, two Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Service Areas, one ATO Technical Service Area, and six terminal and en route air traffic control facilities. |
