Nye, Lincoln, and Clark Counties and the State of Nevada
(Nevada) used oversight funds for activities unrelated to
acceptable activities described in the Nuclear Waste Policy
Act (Act). Oversight funds were expended for specifically
prohibited activities, such as influencing legislative matters
and litigation expenses. In some cases, funds were used for
activities that were not clearly related to oversight
according to the available documentation. For the period
under review, we identified $1.2 million in questionable
costs. (Detailed information on all questioned costs was
provided under separate cover to the Office of Civilian
Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM), the affected

millions of dollars to DOE for research and development,
including work involving biological select agents. There was a
significant increase in this funding between 2004 and 2005.
