Priority Open Recommendations: U.S. Department of Agriculture
Dear Secretary Rollins:
Congratulations on your appointment. The purpose of this letter is to call your personal attention
to three areas based on GAO’s past work and five open priority recommendations, which are
enclosed.
1
Additionally, there are 106 other GAO open recommendations that we will continue
to work with your staff to address.
We are highlighting the following areas that warrant your timely and focused attention.
Specifically:
Improving Information Technology (IT) modernization. The U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) has faced challenges effectively managing IT modernization and reducing IT duplication
and overlap in its Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) mission area. We have highlighted
the need for USDA to improve its IT acquisitions and management on our High Risk List for
several years.

For example, USDA has yet to develop and publish a strategic plan and
associated metrics to monitor and measure its IT portfolio in the FPAC mission area. Having a
strategic plan and performance metrics would position FPAC to better measure its performance
against goals, maximize efficiencies, and meet the needs of farmers, ranchers, and foresters.
Mitigating the risk of pathogens from food products and animals. Humans can contract
illness-causing pathogens, such as Salmonella and avian influenza viruses, by consuming
contaminated food products and interacting with infected animals. For example, each year,
foodborne illnesses sicken one in six Americans, and thousands die, according to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention’s most recent estimates. Additionally, wild birds can transmit
viruses that cause zoonotic diseasesthose caused by pathogens that spread between
animals and humanssuch as avian influenza and West Nile virus. One of our high-risk
areasimproving federal oversight of food safetycenters jointly on USDA and the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services. We have made recommendations to USDA to help

GAO considers a recommendation to be a priority, if when implemented, it may significantly improve government
operations, for example, by realizing large dollar savings; eliminating mismanagement, fraud, and abuse; or making
progress toward addressing a high-risk or duplication issue.

资源描述:

这是美国政府问责局(GAO)致美国农业部部长布鲁克·L·罗林斯的信,指出三个需其关注的领域及五项优先公开建议。 1. **信息技术现代化**:美国农业部在管理农场生产与保护任务领域的信息技术现代化方面面临挑战,缺乏战略计划和相关指标,建议改进信息技术采购与管理。 2. **减轻食品和动物病原体风险**:人类可能因食用受污染食品和接触感染动物感染病原体,如沙门氏菌和禽流感病毒。美国农业部在食品安全监督方面存在不足,建议制定优先级计划,明确需解决的产品及相关政策,同时在建立国家野生动物疾病监测系统时遵循协作的最佳实践。 3. **加强联邦援助项目监督**:美国农业部计算联邦作物保险政策补贴的方法存在大幅波动,建议调整计算方法,以减少补贴波动,提高项目实施质量。
