The Policy Statement also reiterates guidance on defining the geographic area for environmental justice assessments and identifying low-income and minority communities. Id. In addition, it explains that a scoping process is used to ‘‘assist the NRC in ensuring that minority and low-income communities, including transient populations, affected by the proposed action are not overlooked in assessing the potential for significant impacts unique to those communities.’’ Id. at 52,048. In performing a NEPA analysis, ‘‘published demographic data, community interviews and public input through well-noticed public scoping meetings should be used in identifying minority and low-income communities that may be subject to adverse environmental impacts.’’ Id. On April 23, 2021, in a Staff Requirements Memorandum (ADAMS Accession No. ML21113A070), the Commission directed the staff to ‘‘systematically review how the agency’s programs, polices, and activities address environmental justice.’’ As part of this review, the Commission directed the staff to evaluate recent Executive Orders and assess whether environmental justice is appropriately considered and addressed in the agency’s programs, policies, and activities, given the agency’s mission. As directed, the staff will consider the practices of other Federal, State, and Tribal agencies and evaluate whether the NRC should incorporate environmental justice beyond implementation through NEPA. The staff will also review the adequacy of the 2004 Policy Statement. The Commission further directed the staff to consider whether establishing formal mechanisms to gather external stakeholder input would benefit any future environmental justice efforts. To carry out the Commission’s direction, the staff is seeking to engage stakeholders and interested persons representing a broad range of perspectives. This Federal Register notice is part of this engagement effort. III. Requested Information and Comments On July 9, 2021, the NRC published a notice in the Federal Register (86 FR 36307) requesting comments. The comment period was originally scheduled to close on August 23, 2021 and was extended to September 22, 2021 (86 FR 43696). The NRC staff has decided to extend the comment period until October 29, 2021, to allow more time for members of the public to submit their comments. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:09 Sep 09, 2021 Jkt 253001 The NRC is interested in obtaining a broad range of perspectives from stakeholders and interested persons. The focus of this request is to gather information to inform a systematic assessment for how the NRC addresses environmental justice in its programs, policies, and activities, considering the agency’s mission and statutory authority. The NRC is particularly interested in receiving input on the following questions: (1) What is your understanding of what is meant by environmental justice at the NRC? (2) As described in the Commission’s 2004 Policy Statement on the Treatment of Environmental Justice Matters in NRC Regulatory and Licensing Actions (69 FR 52040), the NRC currently addresses environmental justice in its NEPA reviews to determine if a proposed agency action will have disproportionately high and adverse impacts on minority and low-income communities, defined as environmental justice communities. (a) When the NRC is conducting licensing and other regulatory reviews, the agency uses a variety of ways to gather information from stakeholders and interested persons on environmental impacts of the proposed agency action, such as in-person and virtual meetings, Federal Register notices requesting input, and dialog with community organizations. (i) How could the NRC expand how it engages and gathers input? (ii) What formal tools might there be to enhance information gathering from stakeholders and interested persons in NRC’s programs, policies, and activities? (iii) Can you describe any challenges that may affect your ability to engage with the NRC on environmental justice issues? (b) How could the NRC enhance opportunities for members of environmental justice communities to participate in licensing and regulatory activities, including the identification of impacts and other environmental justice concerns? (c) What ways could the NRC enhance identification of environmental justice communities? (d) What has the NRC historically done well, or currently does well that we could do more of or expand with respect to environmental justice in our programs, policies, and activities, including engagement efforts? In your view, what portions of the 2004 Policy Statement are effective? (3) What actions could the NRC take to enhance consideration of environmental justice in the NRC’s PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 50747 programs, policies and activities and agency decision-making, considering the agency’s mission and statutory authority? (a) Would you recommend that NRC consider any particular organization’s environmental justice program(s) in its assessment? (b) Looking to other Federal, State, and Tribal agencies’ environmental justice programs, what actions could the NRC take to enhance consideration of environmental justice in the NRC’s programs, policies, and activities? (c) Considering recent Executive Orders on environmental justice, what actions could the NRC take to enhance consideration of environmental justice in the NRC’s programs, policies, and activities? (d) Are there opportunities to expand consideration of environmental justice in NRC programs, policies, and activities, considering the agency’s mission? If so, what are they?
