User fees can be designed to reduce the burden on taxpayers to finance the portions of activities that provide benefits to identifiable users above and beyond what is normally provided to the public. User fees can promote economic efficiency and equity. However user fees must be well designed. This report studies how user fee design characteristics may influence the effectiveness of user fees. The author examined how the 4 key design and implementation characteristics of user fees -- how fees are set, collected, used, and reviewed -- may affect the economic efficiency, equity, revenue adequacy, and administrative burden of cost-based fees.

Download or read book Grants Management written by Stanley J. Czerwinski and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), among other things, developed Grants.gov as the central grant identification and application portal for federal grant programs. OMB oversees the initiative and named the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) its managing partner. Grants.gov officials have acknowledged noticeably degraded system performance, and grantees have reported difficulties submitting applications that have in some cases led to late or incomplete submissions and lost opportunities for both grantees and populations served. Through analysis of agency documents, a Web-based survey of federal grant-making officials, and interviews with agency officials and grantee associations, this requested report examines: (1) the benefits of Grants.gov and applicant experiences with submitting applications; (2) the governance structure of Grants.gov; and (3) the range of agency policies for processing Grants.gov applications. GAO is making four recommendations to OMB to develop Grants.gov system performance measures, guidance clarifying the governance structure, a structured means for applicant input, and uniform policies for processing grant applications. OMB and HHS generally agreed with GAO's findings and recommendations. The following are appended: (1) Detailed Survey Description; (2) Comments from the Department of Health and Human Services; and (3) GAO Contact and Staff Acknowledgments. (Contains 3 tables, 2 figures, and 67 footnotes.).
