- Comprehensive management system grants: Fully address comprehensive management systems and incorporate the remaining features from Service Manual chapter 522 FW 4. (80)
- Coordination grants: Address issue of contact and location information for all coordinators in a coordination grant. (80)
- Multiyear funding: Consider modifying 50 CFR 80.67 to state that multiyear funding may be used for any allowable, eligible, and substantial project, whether grant-by-grant or CMS.
- Proposed questions on audits: The WSFR Branch of Audits recommends the following new regulatory sections: (1) Will recipients participating in the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs be audited? (2) What programs will be audited? (3) What will be examined during an audit? (4) Who will choose the auditors and fund the audits? (50)
- Monitoring: Incorporate monitoring procedures into the regulations, including site visits. See recommendations 1 and 3 in the 2013 CIAP audit on pp. 6 and 42. (75)
- Government revenue: Review the issue of the status of monthly service fees for new sewer lines to homes that were installed with Federal financial assistance. See the June 2013 Inspector General’s audit of the Coastal Impact Assessment program, page 39. The Inspector General considered these fees to be program income instead of governmental revenue and the FWS concurred with the its finding. Develop regulatory language to clarify 2 CFR 200.307(c). (75)
- Match: Review 50 CFR 80.84 for consistency with 48 U.S.C. 1469a on match requirements in insular areas.
- Electronic signatures: The WSFR Audits Branch recommends that we clarify in regulation what constitutes an electronic signature. (75)
