Waters and Wetlands: Corps of Engineers Needs to Better Support Its Decisions for Not Asserting Jurisdiction (open access)

Waters and Wetlands: Corps of Engineers Needs to Better Support Its Decisions for Not Asserting Jurisdiction

A letter report issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "Section 404 of the Clean Water Act prohibits the discharge of dredged or fill material into federally regulated waters without first obtaining a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) permit. Before 2001, the Corps asserted jurisdiction over most waters, including isolated, intrastate, nonnavigable waters, if migratory birds could use them. However, in January 2001, the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that the Corps exceeded its authority in asserting jurisdiction over such waters based solely on their use by birds. GAO was asked to examine, among other things, the (1) processes and data the Corps uses for making jurisdictional determinations; (2) extent to which the Corps documents decisions that it does not have jurisdiction; (3) extent to which the Corps is using its remaining authority to assert jurisdiction over isolated, intrastate, nonnavigable waters; and (4) extent to which the Corps and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are collecting data to assess the impact of the court's January 2001 ruling."

Wild Horse and Burro Issues (open access)

Wild Horse and Burro Issues

Youth Opportunity Grants: Lessons Can Be Learned from Program, but Labor Needs to Make Data Available (open access)

Youth Opportunity Grants: Lessons Can Be Learned from Program, but Labor Needs to Make Data Available

A letter report issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "The Youth Opportunity Grant program (YO) represented an innovative approach to improving education and employment opportunities for at-risk youth by targeting resources in high poverty areas and incorporating strategies that experts have identified as effective for serving this population. The Department of Labor (the Department) awarded 36 grants in 2000, and the program continued for 5 years. The Department had used a similar approach on a smaller scale in previous programs, but little information is available on the impact of these other programs. In order to understand what can be learned from the Youth Opportunity Grant program, GAO examined the grantees' implementation of the program, challenges they faced, and what is known about the program's outcomes and impact. To view selected results from GAO's Web-based survey of the Program Directors, go to GAO-06-56SP (http://www.gao.gov/cgi-bin/getrpt?GAO-06-56SP)."
