The NRC is planning to coordinate activities in accordance with Section 108 of the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act to collect information on the use of local community advisory boards during decommissioning activities and issue a best practices report. In order to ensure appropriate best practices are identified, the NRC has developed a questionnaire that will seek feedback in a number of areas related to the formation and operation of local community advisory boards. The questionnaire will address the following areas: the type of topics that might be brought before a community advisory board; how the boardâs input could inform the decision-making process for various decommissioning stakeholders; how the board might interact with other State and Federal agencies to promote dialogue between the licensee and impacted stakeholders; and how the board could offer opportunities for public engagement throughout the decommissioning process. The NRC will issue a report to Congress in June 2020 identifying best practices for establishment and operation of local community advisory boards.
This is a new program to comply with Section 108 of NEIMA to collect information on the use of Community Advisory Boards during decommissioning activities and issue a best practices report to Congress, which will take 162 hours for 15 respondents, or approximately 54 hours annually over the course of the clearance period. This information collection is a one-time effort.
