Abstract:We have performed the procedures described in the enclosure to this letter, which we
agreed to perform and with which you concurred, solely to assist your office in
ascertaining whether the net excise tax revenue distributed to the Highway Trust
Fund (HTF) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, is supported by the
underlying records. As agreed with your office, we evaluated fiscal year 2008 activity
affecting distributions to the HTF.
We conducted the engagement in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
government auditing standards, which incorporate financial audit and attestation
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
You are responsible for the adequacy of these agreed-upon procedures to meet your
objectives, and we make no representation in that respect. The procedures we agreed
to perform were related to (1) transactions that represent the underlying basis of
amounts distributed to the HTF during fiscal year 2008, (2) the Internal Revenue
Service’s (IRS) quarterly HTF receipt certifications during fiscal year 2008, (3) the
Department of the Treasury’s Financial Management Service adjustments to the HTF
during fiscal year 2008, (4) the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Tax Analysis’s
(OTA) process for estimating excise tax amounts to be distributed to the HTF for the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, (5) adjustments to the HTF for tax on kerosene
used in aviation during fiscal year 2008, and (6) the amount of net excise taxes
distributed to the HTF during fiscal year 2008. The enclosure provides more detail on
the agreed-upon procedures and our results.
