I N & Inspection Folder

6.23.12. The Disclosure Statement is issued (via e-mail) to specific interested
parties who have participated in the investigation and a NC copy should be kept
in the inspection folder. However, the comments received on Disclosure Statement
are not kept in the inspection folder as this would keep on increasing the chain

investigation.

notification and also uploaded on the DGTR website. Therefore, there is no need to

file after the issues of final finding notification.
