Assess whether a subrecipient should be suspended (cde9e8)

Situation

A state agency with a FOIA backlog and a political request cannot treat a reorganization memo that predates union notice as color commentary on reorganization FTE and system-cutover map. IG response coordinator must close a subrecipient should be suspended from that extract under Government / Policy and Grants.

Decision

IG response coordinator in a state agency with a FOIA backlog and a political request must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using reorganization FTE and system-cutover map after a reorganization memo that predates union notice.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize Pay or continue now; reorganization FTE and system-cutover map already has the discriminator after a reorganization memo that predates union notice.
• Keep Recoup in force until reorganization FTE and system-cutover map is completed after a reorganization memo that predates union notice for IG response coordinator.
• Treat reorganization FTE and system-cutover map as Deny because both readings appear after a reorganization memo that predates union notice.
• Refuse a Government close: IG response coordinator does not have the page a subrecipient should be suspended turns on in reorganization FTE and system-cutover map.

Analysis required

• Trace the audit trail IG response coordinator would produce for oversight.
• Map eligibility, appropriation, and program rules in reorganization FTE and system-cutover map after a reorganization memo that predates union notice.
• Name the statutory hook that reorganization FTE and system-cutover map does or does not support.
• For this Government Policy and Grants file, read reorganization FTE and system-cutover map against a reorganization memo that predates union notice and write the one fact that would move a subrecipient should be suspended for IG response coordinator.

Recommendation

Choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold on this Government / Policy and Grants packet (reorganization FTE and system-cutover map after a reorganization memo that predates union notice). The follow-on Policy and Grants action is what IG response coordinator does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
