US Government Administrative costs are classified as "General Government" spending. The list of sub-categories of administrative costs is very long. This is the cost of bureaucracy. See the entire list @ USGovernmentSpending.com.

Interesting fact: According to USGovernmentSpending.com's data, US IRS spends $500 million on tax collection in Puerto Rico yearly. For a country of 3.7 million people that's $135 per citizen. Every citizen is not a tax-payer. In US only 36% of citizens are income tax payers. If IRS spent $135 per citizen to collect tax in US, it would cost IRS $42.4 billion to collect Income tax. But this is for someone else to investigate.. We gave the bureaucrats 2x giant conference desks and plenty of filing cabinets so they can 'file away' some of that 'paper work' that's laying around.
