Environmental Protection: EPA's Science and Technology Funds
Highlights
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) budget justifications for its Science and Technology account for fiscal years 1998 and 1999, focusing on: (1) identifying EPA's Science and Technology requested funds by the agency's strategic goals and objectives; (2) determining for each of EPA's program offices the amount of Science and Technology funds they plan to administer in fiscal year (FY) 1999; and (3) providing a crosswalk of funds appropriated for FY 1998 by program components to strategic goals and objectives and determine the process or information available that can be used to readily compare the funds that are requested for EPA's Science and Technology account in future years.
