The Inspector General (IG) is also responsible for keeping the CPSC’s chairman and Congress informed of problems or deficiencies in CPSC programs and operations. CPSC’s Inspector General is selected by the CPSC Chairman and reports directly to him.
CPSC's Office of Inspector General was established on April 9, 1989, in accordance with the Inspector General Act Amendments of 1988, Public Law 100-504. The legislation established Offices of Inspector General in several departments and thirty-three agencies, including CPSC. The law gives the IG the power to act independently: the IG cannot be prevented from initiating, carrying out, or completing an audit or investigation, or from issuing any subpoena; has access to all records of the agency; reports directly to Congress; and can only be removed by the chairman, who must promptly advise Congress of the reasons for the removal.
