Crowe identified areas where opportunities exist for the NRC to improve its oversight of decommissioning trust funds (DTFs).  
Specifically, the four areas focus on creating policies and procedures, workflows, and other support to enhance the oversight of the use of DTFs: 
1. Additional monitoring or detailed review on the use of the DTFs; 
2. Additional financial oversight assistance when reviewing and monitoring the use of DTFs; 
3. Documented policies, procedures, and workflows; and,  
4. Master list of sites with license conditions. 
We also identified best practices developed by the NRC for the use of DTFs when licensees are restarting nuclear reactors that
were formerly in decommissioning status.  Key best practices include a universal process for establishing a regulatory hold
point, tracking the level of effort, and instituting a license condition for the restarting plant related to the use of its DTFs.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) did not clearly assign law enforcement roles to its program offices, which led to internal disagreements and friction between TSA’s Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal Service (LE/FAMS) Insider Threat Section (ITS) and TSA Investigations related to referring and investigating allegations of misconduct.  TSA’s conflicting management directives resulted in impeded collaboration and deconfliction of investigations into risks to the Nation’s transportation system, potentially jeopardizing TSA’s ability to mitigate insider threats.
