Assess whether the budget ask is executable as written (eb2479)

SITUATION After an IG draft that will go public Thursday, FOIA search-term and exemption log is what grant-compliance officer can touch in a reorganization that moves programs across bureaus. Government will live with Pay or continue versus Recoup on this Budget and Performance file.

DECISION Grant-compliance officer in a reorganization that moves programs across bureaus must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using FOIA search-term and exemption log after an IG draft that will go public Thursday.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Grant-compliance officer can defend Pay or continue from FOIA search-term and exemption log after an IG draft that will go public Thursday in a Government challenge. 2. Grant-compliance officer cannot defend Pay or continue from FOIA search-term and exemption log; Recoup is what the extract actually supports after an IG draft that will go public Thursday. 3. An IG draft that will go public Thursday never reached the population in FOIA search-term and exemption log — reopen intake, do not close the budget ask is. 4. Two facts in FOIA search-term and exemption log after an IG draft that will go public Thursday conflict for grant-compliance officer; hold this Budget and Performance file.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Test a single-case exception versus a control gap in a reorganization that moves programs across bureaus. 2.
