Investigative Authority Vested in the Inspector General of the Department of Transportation
The Inspector General of the Department of Transportation has the same broad authority to investigate fraud against Department programs and operations that the investigative units transferred into the Office of Inspector General possessed when the Inspector General Act of 1978 became law. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored.
