This report summarizes the information presented in a briefing to Congress by the General Accounting Office (GAO) on Dec. 14, 2001, related to the U.S. Dept. of Interior's Office of Surface Mining (OSM) collection of civil fines and penalties debt (CFP). GAO objectives were to determine: (1) the primary reasons for the low collection rates and significant write-offs of OSM's CFP debt, (2) whether adequate processes exist at OSM to collect CFP debt, and (3) what role, if any, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Treasury play in overseeing OSM's collection of CFP debt.

This report focuses on debt collection processes and procedures used by the Department of the Interior's Office of Surface Mining (OSM). GAO discusses (1) the primary reasons for the growth in civil monetary penalties owed to OSM; (2) whether OSM's receivables for civil monetary penalties have financial accountability and reporting issues similar to those of its other receivables; (3) whether adequate processes exist to collect this debt; and (4) what roles, if any, the Office of Management and Budget and the Treasury Department play in overseeing and monitoring OSM's collection of civil monetary penalties debt.

This report reviews the debt collection processes and procedures used by the Dept. of the Treasury's U.S. Customs Service. It provides the results of a review of Customs' management of and practices for collecting civil fines and penalties (CFP) debt. According to Customs' records, its gross CFP debt more than tripled from the start of FY1997 to the end of FY2000, rising from about $218.1 million as of Oct. 1, 1996, to about $773.6 million as of Sept. 30, 2000. This report determines: (1) the primary reasons for the growth in Customs' reported uncollected CFP debt; (2) whether Customs' processes to collect CFP debt needed to be strengthened; and (3) what role, if any, the OMB and Treasury play in overseeing Customs' collection of CFP debt.

This report focuses on the debt collection processes and procedures used by the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The primary reason for the growth of CMS' civil monetary penalties (CMP) receivables was the expansion of fraud and abuse detection activities from fiscal year 1995 through fiscal year 1997 that significantly increased reported fraud and abuse debts in fiscal year 1997. GAO's analysis of CMS' CMP receivable data revealed similar financial accountability and reporting issues as those identified for non-CMP receivables by CMS' external financial statement auditors. GAO identified (1) unreconciled differences of tens of millions of dollars in the CMP receivables balances reported by HHS and CMS for fiscal years 1997 through 1999 and (2) an unreconciled net difference of about $22 million between the CMP receivables balance in CMS' general ledger and the detailed subsidiary systems as of September 30, 2000. The data reliability issue prevented GAO from determining the overall adequacy of the CMP debt collection policies and procedures. However, GAO's limited tests showed that debt collection policies and procedures were followed for 11 of the 12 selected delinquent debts. GAO could not determine whether debt collection policies and procedures were followed for the 12th selected debt because supporting documentation was unavailable.
