II. Background Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a proposed collection of information to OMB for review entitled, Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act Local Community Advisory Board Questionnaire.

The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on April 19, 2019 (84 FR 16547).

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 boards input could inform the 4

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.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 2nd day of July, 2019.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
