UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 December 19, 2019 MEMORANDUM TO: Maureen E. Wylie, Chief Office of the Chief Financial Officer FROM: Mary C. Muessle, Director Office of Administration 12/19/2019 X Mary C. Muessle Mary C. Muessle Director Signed by: Mary C. Muessle
SUBJECT:
FEDERAL PROTECTIVE SERVICES IMPROPER PAYMENTS In September 2019, ADM became aware of three improper payments to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Protective Services contract which provides security guards for access control and security response for NRC Headquarters facilities.
The improper payments were a result of an FPS billing error where FPS billed Headquarters buildings for the same time period on two separate bills. These duplicate charges were approved by the contracting officer representative without appropriate backup.
ADM has confirmed with FPS that the overbilling occurred, and FPS has issued a credit to the NRC account. To effectively prevent such actions from reoccurring in the future, ADM has provided counseling and remedial training to the COR and will provide refresher training on invoice approvals to all ADM CORS in the second quarter of FY 2020. ADM will also evaluate whether there should be a Contracting Officer review of Inter Agency Agreements payments similar to what is done for commercial contracts and Department of Energy Lab agreements.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
