The Territorial Clause of the Constitution authorizes the Congress to “make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property” of the United States.2 Relying on the Territorial Clause, the Congress has enacted legislation making some provisions of the Constitution explicitly applicable in the insular areas. In addition to this congressional action, courts from time to time have ruled on the application of constitutional provisions to one or more of the insular areas. You asked us to update our 1991 report to you on the applicability of provisions of the Constitution to five insular areas: Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (the CNMI), American Samoa, and Guam. You asked specifically about significant judicial and legislative developments concerning the political or tax status of these areas, as well as court decisions since our earlier report involving the applicability of constitutional provisions to these areas.

    Ibr$f)3 t’ II BY THECOMPTiOLLER GENERAL’ Report To The Congress OF THEUNITED STATES Limited Progress Made In Consolidating Grants To Insular Areas Title V of Public Law 95-134 allows Federal agencies to consolidate grants to US. Insular Areas--Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, and the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands. Grant consolidation provides a means to min- 115743 imize the administrative and financial burdens associated with the Federal assistance system. Because title V is discretionary, not all Federal agencies have chosen to consolidate grants, and those that have are approaching consoli- dation differently and conservatively. Further, Federal agencies are restricting the Insular Areas’ flexibility to redirect funds to meet I local needs and are applying varying interpre- tations to the provisions of title V. To deal with these issues, the Congress should amend title V. GGD81-61 JULY NJ,1981 L .

    Office of Inspector General U.S. Department of the Interior SEMIANNUAL REPORT Highlights Allegations of Misconduct by Employees Involved in the Cobell Litigation (page 3) Security of Departmental IT Systems Falls Short (page 7) Transfer of Water Project Responsibilities Places Federal Revenues at Risk (page 20) MMS Gainsharing Awards Found Unreasonably High (page 24) October 2002 Cover: Photo taken by H.A. McGill, of Darnestown, MD Message from the Inspector General I am pleased to present the results and accomplishments of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) from April 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002. During this reporting period, we concentrated our efforts on helping the Department of the Interior (DOI or Department) Bureaus and offices address their most serious management challenges. To this end, over the last six months, our audit and evaluation staff focused on a number of programs that we identified as at-risk or that were brought to our attention by Departmental management as areas of concern. We highlight our findings related to the Information Technology (IT) Security within the Department, the Minerals Management Service's (MMS) gainsharing awards program, and the Bureau of Reclamation's (BOR) agreements with the California Water Authority. I am proud to report that the results of these audits and evaluations were well-received by the Department, which has already taken action to correct many of the deficiencies we found. During this reporting period, our investigators brought to fruition investigations that resulted in 27 indictments, 15 convictions, and 19 sentencings, with nearly a million dollars in criminal judgments and restitutions. While these numbers are remarkable statistically, they tend to be concentrated in the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and tribal governments, areas in which we reported disturbing trends of fraud and corruption in our last Semiannual Report.
