National Defense Authorization Act

The USDA OIG is required to notify non-governmental organizations or business entities when they are specifically identified in a published audit, evaluation, inspection, or other non-investigative report. The purpose of the notification is to afford the specifically identified NGO or business entity an opportunity to submit a written response to USDA OIG about each such reference to the NGO or business entity in the published report. Any such non-governmental organization or business entity has 30 days from the date of publication to provide its written response. Submit a response to USDA OIG.
