## What this funds

OIG performed an inspection of IIJA Financial Assistance to Facilities that Purchase and Process Byproducts from Ecosystem Restoration Projects (IIJA Section 40804(b)(3) and 40804(d)). The inspection was performed to determine the extent to which Forest Service executed IIJA funding for these IIJA funded financial assistance awards in accordance with IIJA requirements and internal control best practices. Our inspection covered 2022 to 2024. We determined that the Forest Service did not provide financial assistance to facilities that purchase and process ecosystem restoration byproducts in accordance with IIJA requirements, resulting in $86 million in questioned costs and $94 million in unsupported costs. We reached management decision on each of the six recommendations identified.
