Book Description

Access to broadband service is seen as vital to economic, social, and educational development, yet many areas of the country lack access to, or their residents do not use, broadband. To expand broadband deployment and adoption, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provided $7.2 billion to the National Telecommunications and Information Admin. (NTIA) and the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) for grants or loans to a variety of program applicants. The agencies must award all funds by Sept. 30, 2010. This testimony provides preliminary information on the challenges NTIA and RUS face; the steps taken to address challenges; and the remaining risks in: (1) evaluating applications and awarding funds; and (2) overseeing funded projects.

Book Description

The Recovery Act (RA) of 2009 provides funds to fed. agencies and states, which in turn may award contracts to private co. to carry out the purposes of the RA. Contracts using RA funds are required to be awarded competitively to the maximum extent practicable. This report examined the use and oversight of non-competitive contracts at the fed. and state levels. It determined: (1) the extent that federal contracts were awarded non-competitively; (2) the reasons five selected federal agencies DoD, DoE, HHS; NASA; and SBA awarded non-competitive contracts; (3) the oversight these agencies and their inspectors general provide for RA contracts; and (4) the level of insight five selected states have into the use of non-competitive RA contracts.
