Surplus weatherization funds held by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

Technical Report · Tue Jan 13 04:00:00 EST 1981

OSTI ID:6320310

A review of the Weatherization Program in Pennsylvania discovered that the state was holding in unreported interest-bearing accounts surplus weatherization grant funds of more than $1.6 million. This situation resulted, in part, from inadequate money management and reporting procedures on the part of the state government, and cost the US Government about $200,000 in unnecessary interest expense. Corrective recommendations would require Pennsylvania to establish a revised financial system that will minimize the availability of surplus weatherization funds for local agencies and the state and timely reporting of excess monies. Also Pennsylvania's compliance with requirements that excess funds be expended before additional monies are received should be more closely monitored. Comments on the draft version of this report from the Assistant Secretary for Conservation and Solar Energy, and the DOE Regional Representative in Region III are appended. (PSB)
