II. Background
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized
below.
1. The title of the information collection: Nuclear Energy
Innovation and Modernization Act Local Community Advisory Board
Questionnaire.
2. OMB approval number: An OMB control number has not yet been
assigned to this proposed information collection.
3. Type of submission: New.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Once.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Respondents will be
the existing local community advisory boards in the vicinity of power
reactors undergoing decommissioning, similar established stakeholder
groups, or local government organizations.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 14 (6 responses from
sites with established local community advisory boards + 8 responses
from sites where local community advisory boards have not been
established).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 14 (6 sites with
established local community advisory boards + 8 sites where local
community advisory boards have not been established).
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 50 hours.
10. Abstract: 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 board's 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.
III. Specific Requests for Comments
The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical
utility?
2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection
accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology?
