topics that might be brought before a community advisory board; how the 
board's input could inform the decision-making process of stakeholders 
for various decommissioning activities; how the board could interact 
with the NRC and other Federal regulatory bodies to promote dialogue 
between the licensee and affected stakeholders; and how the board could 
offer opportunities for public engagement throughout all phases of the 
decommissioning process. The report will also include a discussion of 
the composition of existing community advisory boards and best 
practices identified during the establishment and operation of such 
boards, including logistical considerations, frequency of meetings, and 
the selection of board members.
    In developing a best practices report, the NRC is consulting with 
host States, communities within the emergency planning zone of an 
applicable nuclear power reactor, and existing local community advisory 
boards. This consultation will include the distribution of a 
questionnaire, which is currently being developed, to solicit 
information on specific topics that Section 108 of NEIMA requires be 
included in the report. The NRC will also conduct twelve Category 3 
public meetings, including at least one nationwide webinar.
    The public meetings will be held in locations that ensure 
geographic diversity across the United States, with priority given to 
States that (i) have a nuclear power reactor currently undergoing the
