No Evidence of Post-Employment Violations by Former Park SuperintendentNo Evidence of Post-Employment Violations by Former Park Superintendent
The OIG investigated whether a former superintendent of the National Park Service (NPS) improperly applied for a commercial use authorization (CUA) permit in 2015 to give tours at a park that he previously managed. The former park superintendent also allegedly directed that a trail be relocated at the park in 2002, which affected the financial interest of the tour company with which his family member was reportedly affiliated at the time.

Internal Controls for the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Purchase Card Program Need Improvement
We analyzed U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) transaction data for the first 6 months of fiscal year 2017 to determine whether (1) the DOI or its bureaus made transactions that were illegal, improper, or erroneous and (2) the existing internal controls detected and prevented illegal, improper, or erroneous transactions. We conducted this audit as part of a Governmentwide initiative by the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency to examine risks associated with U.S.
Inaccurate Data and Little Guidance Hinder the DOI’s Ability to Optimize Fleet Size and Composition
The Office of Inspector General reviewed the U.S. Department of the Interior’s (DOI) management of its fleet of roughly 34,000 vehicles to determine whether DOI is maintaining accurate data to optimize it—by ensuring that vehicles’ size and composition meet the agency’s mission—and managing its fleet in accordance with established guidance.
We found inaccurate data Departmentwide and an absence of specific guidance from the DOI Office of Acquisition and Property Management (PAM) to bureaus, which are two issues that undermine the DOI’s ability to accomplish its fleet management goals.
