Because there was a perception that the process was overly iterative, we have taken a look at the process and have implemented the following changes to 's reduce the number of drafts reviewed by the regions and to ensure that the drafts reflect a consolidated headquarters positiori. sN From this date forward, proposed enforcement cases will be reviewed by IE, ELD, ,k^
and the appropriate program office staff and the comments incorporated into one draft which will be resubmitted for final concurrence to the regions. The revised i7 case will be simultaneously submitted to ELD and to the Director, IE/ES for final concurrence. The Director, IE/ES will resolve any additional corrnents that arise during the final concurrence process. {s/4 V
