GAO-11-474R: United States Government Accountability Office: Washington, DC 20548: March 18, 2011: Congressional Addressees: Subject: List of Selected Federal Programs That Have Similar or Overlapping Objectives, Provide Similar Services, or Are Fragmented Across Government Missions: This report supplements our March 1, 2011, report Opportunities to Reduce Potential Duplication in Government Programs, Save Tax Dollars, and Enhance Revenue[Footnote 1]--GAO's first annual report to Congress in response to a statutory requirement to identify federal programs, agencies, offices, and initiatives, either within departments or governmentwide, which have duplicative goals or activities.[Footnote 2] Section I of that report touched on hundreds of federal programs governmentwide that we found have similar or overlapping objectives, provide similar services to the same populations, or are involved in government missions that are fragmented across multiple agencies. As noted in our March 1 report, the presence of fragmentation and overlap can suggest the need to look more closely at the potential for unnecessary duplication. However, determining whether and to what extent programs are actually duplicative requires programmatic information that is often not readily available. In addition, while we have reported on examples where duplication, overlap, and fragmentation can hinder program performance and cause inefficiencies, we recognize that there could be instances where some degree of program duplication, overlap, or fragmentation may be warranted due to the nature or magnitude of the federal effort. For details on the extent to which we found the programs listed in this report to be fragmented, overlapping, or possibly duplicative, see the 34 area summaries contained in Section I of the March 1 report. This report provides a more detailed listing of programs we identified in several areas discussed in our March 1 report.[Footnote 3] To list names and numbers of specific programs where there could be potential duplication, overlap, or fragmentation, as identified in our March 1 report, we used a variety of methodologies. As needed, to assess the reliability of these lists, we took steps such as interviewing agency officials and other knowledgeable parties, and comparing the data in the lists to other sources of information. We conducted this work from February 2010 to March 2011 as part of our overall review in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. We believe that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. See our March 1 report (GAO-11-318SP) for a detailed description of the scope and methodology used to conduct our work. Summary: We included nine areas for which we provided specific numbers of programs in Section I of our March 1 report. These areas contain hundreds of government programs that are fragmented across multiple agencies or, in some cases, within the same agency or department (see table 1). The enclosures at the end of this report contain enumerated lists of programs in each of the nine areas and provide funding information where available. While there is no standard definition for what constitutes a federal program, for the purposes of this report, programs include grants, initiatives, centers, loans, funds, and other types of assistance. This report does not list programs related to every area of potential duplication we identified in our March 1 report because many of those areas focus on activities or functions-- such as business systems modernization or interagency contracting-- performed by departments, agencies, military services, or other entities that are not programs per se. The programs listed here are from those sections of the report where we listed specific numbers of overlapping or fragmented programs. Furthermore, the areas we identified are not intended to represent the full universe of duplication, overlap, or fragmentation within the federal government. GAO will continue to identify additional areas in future reports. Table 1 is a guide to the contents of each enclosure and provides links to additional information.

[End of table] [End of section] Enclosure II: Surface Transportation Programs: The National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission and the Department of Transportation (DOT) have both identified over 100 surface transportation programs and recommended restructuring and refocusing DOT's surface program structure. For example, the commission proposed that 108 programs in 5 agencies--the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and Federal Railroad Administration--be restructured around functional lines rather than individual modes. In addition, in 2008 DOT published a list of 101 surface transportation programs in 4 agencies to accompany a proposal for restructuring surface transportation programs, titled "Refocus. Reform. Renew. A New Transportation Approach for America" (see below). Compiling a comprehensive list of surface transportation programs and associated funding is problematic because the appropriations account structure for transportation programs is not aligned with actual programs. For example, some appropriations accounts with a program orientation include the resources for a number of programs within a single account, and other appropriations accounts with a program orientation do not necessarily capture all related program resources.

[End of table] [End of section] Enclosure VI: Federal Programs Providing Transportation Services for Transportation- Disadvantaged Persons, As of October 2010: This list contains programs that GAO identified as providing transportation services to transportation-disadvantaged persons, with limited information available on funding. Transportation is not the primary purpose of many of these programs, but rather access to services, such as medical appointments. In many cases, funding data were not available as funds are embedded in broader program spending. However, GAO obtained fiscal year 2009 funding information for 23 programs (see below), which spent an estimated total of $1.7 billion on transportation services that year.

[A] The Corporation for National and Community Service—an independent federal agency—also funds three programs that provide transportation services: Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, Foster Grandparent Program, and Senior Companion Program. ]B] Two new programs in the Departments of Agriculture (Hunger Free Communities) and Housing and Urban Development (Choice Neighborhoods) have not yet awarded grants, but will have transportation as an eligible use of funds. These have not been included in the count of programs. [C] While no estimates were available for fiscal year 2009, the Medicaid program in the Department of Health and Human Services spent $704 million in fiscal year 2010 for transportation services—the first year for which such information was available. [End of table] [End of section] Enclosure VII: Employment and Training Programs: Forty-four of the 47 federal employment and training programs GAO identified (see below), including those with broader missions such as multipurpose block grants, overlap with at least one other program in that they provide at least one similar service to a similar population. However, our review of three of the largest programs showed that the extent to which individuals receive the same services from these programs is unknown due to program data limitations.

GAO examines the use of public funds; evaluates federal programs and policies; and provides analyses, recommendations, and other assistance to help Congress make informed oversight, policy, and funding decisions. GAO's commitment to good government is reflected in its core values of accountability, integrity, and reliability.
