This report summarizes the information presented in our December 14, 2001, briefing on OSM's collection of CFP debt. The briefing slides are in appendix I. We will report separately on our work on Customs and CMS. As discussed with your staff our 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 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 summarizes the information presented in a briefing to Congress by the General Accounting Office (GAO) on Dec. 14, 2001, related to the Dept. of Health and Human Service's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) collection of civil fines and penalties debt, referred to as civil monetary penalties (CMP) debt. The briefing slides are included in appendix I. GAO conducted this inquiry to determine the primary reasons for the growth in reported CMP debt at CMS and whether CMS' CMP receivables have similar financial accountability and reporting issues as its non-CMP receivables.
