Today, we recognize the nation’s veterans who courageously served to ensure our freedom and security. We are proud to have dozens of veterans on staff who continue to serve the nation through their work at the EPA OIG. We thank them and veterans everywhere for their service.

We found that EPA Region 9 did not ensure #AmericanSamoa complied with Safe Drinking Water Act primacy requirements. If the region is not ensuring that American Samoa is fulfilling its primacy requirements, then the public does not have reasonable assurance that the territory is providing safe drinking water to its communities.

The EPA OIG plans to begin an audit of the #EPA’s fiscal year 2026 compliance with the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019. Read: epa.gov/office-inspect…

Oversight is stronger together. 🤝 This week, EPA OIG staff presented at the 30th anniversary conference of the #AssociationOfInspectorsGeneral in Miami.

Our staff spoke on:
🔎 Ways to transform quality assurance insights into organizational improvement.
🔒 Best practices for protecting public infrastructure funding.
📣 Methods for communicating oversight outcomes through proactive outreach with @FccOig, #DelawareOIG, and @MetroOIG.

Opportunities to exchange insights with the broader oversight community strengthen our ability to uncover fraud, waste, and abuse at the EPA and protect billions of taxpayer dollars.
