ISBN: 9781974235629 / Angielski / Miękka / 44 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. " USPS's declining revenues have become insufficient to cover its costs.

CPUs are independent businesses compensated by USPS to sell most of the same products and services as post offices at the same price. Although CPUs can provide important benefits, the number of CPUs has fallen from 5,290 in fiscal year 2002 to 3,619 in fiscal year 2011. As requested, this report discusses: (1) how CPUs supplement USPS's post office network, (2) USPS's...

Corporate income tax: effective tax rates can differ significantly from the statutory rate: report to congressional requesters.
ISBN: 9781974235896 / Angielski / Miękka / 44 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. " Proponents of lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate commonly point to evidence that the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate of 35 percent, as well as its average effective tax rate, which equals the amount of income tax corporations pay divided by their pretax income, are high relative to other countries. However, GAO's 2008 report on corporate tax liabilities (GAO-08-957) found that nearly 55 percent of all large U.S.-controlled corporations reported no federal tax liability in at least one year between 1998 and 2005. Given the difficult budget choices Congress faces and its need to...

" After the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies, a U.S. government panel determined that staffing levels had not been adjusted to reflect changing missions, requirements, and security concerns. In 2004, Congress mandated the establishment of the Office of Rightsizing within the Department of State. The office reviews levels of overseas staffing for all U.S. government agencies at every post every 5 years, projects future staffing levels it determines are appropriate to meet mission needs, and recommends ways to improve efficiency. Rightsizing is intended to align the number and location of...

Nuclear regulation: NRC's oversight of nuclear power reactors' decommissioning funds could be further strengthened: report to the Honorabl
ISBN: 9781974237210 / Angielski / Miękka / 42 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. " About 20 percent of U.S. electricity is generated by 104 nuclear reactors. NRC, which regulates reactors, requires their owners (licensees) to reduce radioactive contamination after reactors permanently shut down. This process, called decommissioning, costs hundreds of millions of dollars per reactor. NRC requires licensees to provide reasonable assurance that they will have adequate funds to decommission, in part, by accumulating funds that are greater than or equal to NRC's decommissioning funding formula. GAO and NRC's OIG have identified concerns about NRC's oversight of decommissioning...

Department of Energy: Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy could benefit from information on applicants' prior funding: report to congre
ISBN: 9781974238620 / Angielski / Miękka / 42 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. " The Department of Energy (DOE) spends 90 percent of its annual budget-which totaled $27 billion in fiscal year 2011-on the contractors that carry out its diverse missions and manage its sites. These management and operating contractors also provide sites' support functions, such as procuring goods, managing human resources, and maintaining facilities. With a unique contractor at each site, support functions have traditionally been managed in a decentralized, or fragmented, manner. In light of today's pressures to trim budgets and find efficiencies, GAO was asked to review support functions...

ISBN: 9781974238835 / Angielski / Miękka / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. " In March 2013, DOD's discretionary budget was reduced by $37 billion as a result of sequestration-across-the-board spending reductions to enforce certain budget policy goals. In response, the Secretary of Defense implemented an administrative furlough, among other things by placing most of DOD's civilian personnel in a temporary nonduty, nonpay status. An administrative furlough is a planned event by an agency to absorb reductions due to budget situations other than a lapse in appropriations. GAO was mandated to review DOD's implementation of its administrative furlough. This report (1)...
