Report of Ethical Misconduct by NPS Superintendent Unfounded
The OIG investigated allegations that a National Park Service (NPS) superintendent abused his authority by using Federal funds to replace the driveway and perform grounds cleanup at his Government-leased quarters, and that he violated safety regulations and the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 regarding renovations made to his office.
We did not substantiate the allegations against the superintendent. We found the superintendent acted within his authority when he directed the use of Federal funds to replace the driveway and perform maintenance at his Government-leased quarters.

Allegations of Misuse of Government Property by BIA Supervisors Mostly Unfounded
The OIG investigated allegations that three supervisors in a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) regional office were involved in a variety of incidents that included misusing and failing to properly account for the office’s specialized communications vehicles, misusing take-home Government-owned vehicles (GOVs), and improperly purchasing items with Government funds to give as gifts to local law enforcement agencies.
We found no evidence that the office’s specialized communications vehicles had been misused, but the BIA did not consistently require operational plans for the vehicles’ use.
