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 NRCs 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?
