information and the development of advanced pipeline inspection
technologies and enhanced risk analysis;
    (c) Opportunities to share data, including dig verification data
between operators of pipeline facilities and in-line inspector vendors
to expand knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of the
different types of in-line inspection technology and methodologies;
    (d) Options to create a secure system that protects proprietary
data while encouraging the exchange of pipeline inspection information
and the development of advanced pipeline inspection technologies and
enhanced risk analysis;
    (e) Means and best practices for the protection of safety and
security-sensitive information and proprietary information; and
    (f) Regulatory, funding, and legal barriers to sharing the
information described in paragraphs (a) through (d).

on a publicly available DOT website and in the docket. The VIS Working
Group will fulfill its purpose once its recommendations are published

Technical Conference

    As announced in the Notice of Technical Conference issued in this
proceeding on April 21, 2022, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

address identified local transmission and regional reliability-related
transmission needs; and (2) cost considerations and the processes
through which transmission developers recover their costs to ensure
just and reasonable transmission rates.

Additionally, this conference will also discuss potential approaches to
providing enhanced cost management measures and greater transparency
and oversight if needed to ensure just and reasonable transmission
rates.
    A preliminary agenda for this technical conference is attached. An
