In the comments the WIEB HLRW Committee recommends two additional components to be considered: 1) the WIEB HLRW Committee would encourage DOE, FRA, and any other regulatory authorities enter into an interagency Memorandum of Understanding or other agreement to facilitate the efficient collection and sharing of inspection data, and 2) under the proposed draft Protocol, DOE will contract with inspectors and then share resulting inspection data with the States and Tribes.
