Highlights

The Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies, requested GAO's legal opinion regarding whether the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) complied with reprogramming notification requirements when it eliminated the positions of two administrative law judges (ALJs) and their associated support staff and terminated one of the ALJs through a reduction-in-force (RIF). Specifically, section 730 of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012 (Act) requires CFTC to notify the appropriations committees prior to obligating or expending funds through a reprogramming to undertake certain enumerated activities.
