| 摘要： | Advisory groups-those established under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and other groups not subject to the act-can play an important role in the development of policy and government regulations. There are more than 1,000 FACA advisory groups and an unknown number of non-FACA advisory groups governmentwide. Non-FACA groups include intergovernmental groups. Section 21 of Pub. L. No. 111-139 requires GAO to conduct routine investigations to identify programs, agencies, offices, and initiatives with duplicative goals and activities. In that context, GAO reviewed (1) the extent to which the Department of Transportation's (DOT) and Department of Energy's (DOE) assessment process helps ensure advisory group efforts are not duplicative and what challenges, if any, exist in assessing potential duplication, and (2) to what extent DOT and DOE advisory groups are useful in assisting their respective agencies in carrying out their missions and how the groups usefulness could be enhanced. GAO selected DOT and DOE for review based on knowledge of these agencies advisory groups. GAO interviewed agency officials; reviewed advisory group documentation; and conducted case studies of five advisory groups. |
