Thanks, Christine Summary of NRC/NNEPA call on 6/14:

Participants:

NNEPA - Dariel Yazzie, Dawn Begay NRC - Ashley Waldron, Jessie Quintero, Christine Pineda, Sandy Talley Discussion focused on NRCs outreach during public comment extension through October 31, 2021:

1. In-person meeting(s) would be beneficial for target audience (community) - if local conditions allow
2. NNEPA suggested NRC continue outreach as soon as possible, September too late for in-person meeting
3. NRC acknowledged trying to find an appropriate balance with allowing enough time to plan/providing ample notice to community (for in-person meetings)
4. Helpful to use as many Navajo speaking persons as possible that are knowledgeable in the subject areas (e.g. DOE)
5. Look at comment letters (from NNEPA and RWPR) examples of information that needs to be conveyed
6. NNEPA suggested to air radio broadcasts again (in Dine?)
7. NNEPA suggested breaking down information into smaller segments and let people ask questions Proposed Outreach Activities:

Replay broadcasts on KTNN and KGAK. We would like your input on whether we should replay both the English and Navajo versions.

Distribute additional written information through the Gallup Independent. Options to be identified next week.

Contact chapter houses to set up remote meetings in July. Form of meeting(s) depends on each chapter houses preference (e.g., could be phone calls or calls using Zoom or similar application).

If possible, hold in-person visit/meetings in August -- could be meetings at chapter houses with large rooms that can accommodate social distancing.
