Oversight of the Colorado Emergency Management Performance Grant Program Needs Improvement
From the Highlights: "We conducted this audit to determine whether the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) were sufficiently monitoring the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) program to ensure that funds were used in accordance with grant program guidelines and other applicable state and Federal laws. [...] We made five recommendations to improve financial controls and subgrantee monitoring, and maintain adequate documentation for expenditures. These recommendations, when implemented, should improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Colorado's EMPG program."

Response to Allegations That a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Contractor Transport Detainees in Non-Air-Conditioned Vehicles (Redacted)
From the Results of Inspection: "In June 2015, we received a hotline complaint that 'due to repair cost,' CBP's [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] contractor in the Border Patrol's Tucson sector was transporting some detainees in non-air-conditioned vehicles. The complainant also alleged the contractor did not maintain some vehicles adequately and would hide 'defective' vehicles from inspection. In August 2015, we conducted unannounced spot inspections of CBP's contractor's vehicles in the Tucson sector. The contractor did not hide vehicles from inspection. Through our inspections, we determined the contractor's vehicles could reach reasonable temperatures or were operating at reasonable temperatures; we also determined that CBP and its contractor had addressed previously known problems with inadequate vehicle air conditioning. Finally, we reviewed the contractor's maintenance program and determined the contractor has adequate policies, procedures, and processes to maintain detainee transport vehicles, and the Border Patrol's Tucson sector has sufficient oversight of the contractor's program."

From the Highlights: "The Puerto Rico Department of Housing received two Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant awards totaling $186.13 million to implement the New Secure Housing Program following Hurricane Georges in September 1998. In August 2012, the Puerto Rico Department of Housing submitted final expenditure claims totaling $184.34 million. FEMA requested that we audit these claims to facilitate closeout of the grants. [...] FEMA should disallow the $90.79 million of ineligible costs unless the Department provides additional documentation to show the costs are eligible. FEMA should also remind Puerto Rico Emergency Management Agency of its grant management responsibilities so that it can work to improve its monitoring of FEMA subgrants."

FEMA Faces Challenges in Verifying Applicants' Insurance Policies for the Individuals and Households Program
From the Highlights: "The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) spent more than 1.4 billion under the Individuals and Households Program on more than 182,900 applicants with losses related to Hurricane Sandy, as of April 5, 2015. We reviewed FEMA's process for verifying applicants' insurance policies at the time of registration for this program. [...] FEMA should make applicants aware of penalties for false statements, use an insurance database to review all cases of possible duplication and recoup funds that should not have been paid, and continue researching options to use an insurance database to screen individual assistance applications."

Mount Carmel Baptist Church in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Needs Assistance to Ensure Compliance with FEMA Public Assistance Grant Requirements
From the Highlights: "Mount Carmel [Mount Carmel Baptist Church] expects to receive $13.2 million for damages from a February 2013 disaster. We conducted this audit early in the grant process to identify areas where Mount Carmel may need additional technical assistance or monitoring to ensure compliance with Federal requirements. [...] The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) should direct Mississippi to provide technical assistance and monitoring to ensure Mount Carmel complies with Federal grant requirements to avoid losing an estimated $13.2 million of Federal funding."

FEMA Should Recover $2.0 Million in Unneeded Funds and Disallow $1.2 Million of $7 Million in Grant Funds Awarded to Spring Lake, New Jersey, for Hurricane Sandy
From the Highlights: "The Borough of Spring Lake, New Jersey, (Borough) accounted for disaster costs on a project-by-project basis and met applicable Federal regulations in processing disaster related procurement transactions. However, the Borough completed one large project below the estimated project cost, and about $2.0 million remains obligated for that project. Therefore, FEMA should deobligate the $2.0 million in unneeded funds as soon as possible and put those funds to better use. In addition, the Borough could not provide adequate support for emergency and permanent restoration work totaling $798,317. The Borough also had not applied insurance proceeds totaling $431,507 against claims for eligible project costs. Therefore, the $431,507 represents ineligible duplicate benefits, because FEMA cannot fund costs that insurance covers. These findings occurred, in part, because the Borough did not effectively coordinate with New Jersey to ensure Borough compliance with FEMA grant requirements."

FEMA Should Disallow $2.78 Million of $14.57 Million in Public Assistance Grant Funds Awarded to the Township of Brick, New Jersey, for Hurricane Sandy Damages
From the Highlights: "FEMA should disallow $2.78 million in grant funds awarded to the Township. Although the Township generally accounted for FEMA funds on a project-by-project basis, it did not fully comply with Federal and FEMA procurement requirements in awarding contracts for disaster work, resulting in $1,496,131 in unreasonable debris removal costs. The unreasonable costs represent the difference between hourly rates the Township paid its contractors and the hourly rates that the State of New Jersey negotiated for statewide debris removal activities and made available to all municipalities within the state. Therefore, we question the unreasonable costs as ineligible. We also question as ineligible $1,286,255 of unrelated hazard mitigation costs. However, these costs may be eligible under other FEMA projects or programs. Therefore, the Township should work with New Jersey and FEMA to determine the eligibility of the hazard mitigation costs we question."

Covert Testing of the Transportation Security Administration's Passenger Screening Technologies and Processes at Airport Security Checkpoints
From the Unclassified Summary: "As threats to transportation security evolved, TSA needed a screening technology to detect nonmetallic threats. TSA developed Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) to screen passengers for both metallic and nonmetallic threats concealed under clothing-- without physical contact. In 2013, TSA equipped all AIT with Automated Target Recognition software, which displays a box around anomalies on a generic outline of a body. Our objective was to determine the effectiveness of TSA's AIT, Automated Target Recognition software, and checkpoint screener performance in identifying and resolving anomalies and potential security threats at airport checkpoints. The compilation of a number of tests conducted, names of the test airports, and quantitative and qualitative results of our testing is classified or designated as Sensitive Security Information. We have shared the information with the Department [of Homeland Security], TSA, and appropriate Congressional committees. We made one recommendation that when implemented should strengthen the effectiveness of identifying and resolving security threats at airport checkpoints."

Review of U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Fiscal Year 2016 Detailed Accounting Submission
From the Highlights: "KPMG [Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler] LLP [limited liability partnership] (KPMG), under contract with the Department of Homeland Security OIG [Office of Inspector General], issued an Independent Accountants' Report on U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Detailed Accounting Submission (DAS). CBP's management prepared the Table of FY 2016 Drug Control Obligations and related disclosures in accordance with the requirements of the ONDCP [ Office of National Drug Control Policy] Circular, 'Accounting of Drug Control Funding and Performance Summary,' dated January 18, 2013 (Circular). CBP's management was unable to provide supporting documentation for the assumptions underlying its drug control obligation allocation methodology for estimating the percentages of obligations related to drug control activities, and the allocation of those funds between interdiction and intelligence. These percentages are used to derive the dollar-value of obligations reported as Drug Resources by Budget Decision Unit and Drug Control Function in the Table of FY 2016 Drug Control Obligations presented in the DAS. As a result, KPMG was unable to complete review procedures related to assessing the reasonableness and accuracy of those assumptions."

Omaha Public Power District in Nebraska Generally Accounted for and Expended FEMA Grant Funds Properly
From the Highlights: "Generally, OPPD [Omaha Public Power District] accounted for and expended FEMA grant funds according to Federal regulations and FEMA guidelines. For example, OPPD accounted for disaster costs on a project-by-project basis and adequately supported costs it claimed. However, OPPD overstated the fringe benefit rate it applied to its labor costs on three large projects. As a result, OPPD requested $67,570 in reimbursements for fringe benefit costs it did not incur. OPPD officials said they applied a 73 percent fringe benefit rate because they used this rate to allocate fringe benefit costs for other purposes. OPPD officials also said FEMA Region VII officials have approved this method of allocating fringe benefit costs in previous disasters. However, a grant recipient cannot claim costs it did not incur, and past incorrect practices do not justify current incorrect practices."

Western Farmers Electric Cooperative, Oklahoma, Has Adequate Policies, Procedures, and Business Practices to Manage Its FEMA Grant
From the Highlights: "The Cooperative's accounting policies, procedures, and business practices are adequate to account for FEMA grant funds according to Federal regulations and FEMA guidelines. Specifically, the Cooperative has an effective accounting system in place to ensure it accounts for disaster-related expenditures on a project-by-project basis and can properly support those expenditures. To track disaster expenditures, the Cooperative established accounting codes to track FEMA expenses once FEMA develops projects to fund the repairs. As of June 2016, Cooperative officials said they completed all disaster repairs using their own resources and contractors. Cooperative officials also said they do not intend to claim $4.1 million in contracting costs because they believe their contracting methodology did not fully comply with Federal requirements when hiring disaster contractors. Therefore, we did not assess the Cooperative's procurement policies and procedures, nor review its contract costs."

CBP's Border Security Efforts - An Analysis of Southwest Border Security Between the Ports of Entry -
From the Document: "From our review of audit and research reports on southwest border security issued by DHS OIG [Department of Homeland Security, Office of Inspector General], GAO [U.S. Government Accountability Office], and CRS [Congressional Research Service] since 2003, we concluded that CBP [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] likely did not act in direct response to the Sandia report, but it has instituted many border security programs and operations that align with the report's recommendations. However, our review and analysis of these reports also highlighted some continuing challenges to CBP in its efforts to secure the southwest border. In particular, CBP does not measure the effectiveness of its programs and operations well; therefore, it continues to invest in programs and act without the benefit of the feedback needed to help ensure it uses resources wisely and improves border security. CBP also faces program management challenges in planning, resource allocation, infrastructure and technology acquisition, and overall efficiency. Finally, coordination and communication with both internal and external stakeholders could be improved."
