Although not an NRC regulatory requirement, many power reactor decommissioning licensees, or the applicable state or local governments, have created some mechanism for community outreach commensurate with the overall level of interest by the local community in the decommissioning activities at the facility. To help establish best practices for creating a community advisory board at decommissioning facilities where licensees choose to create or participate in such an organization, these licensees could consider adding detail to the PSDAR on the creation of the community advisory board, the proposed membership of that board, and the ways in which the board will be used to promote stakeholder involvement in the decommissioning and decision-making process. Alternatively, the PSDAR could discuss why the licensee did not consider a community advisory board necessary or prudent for the site (e.g., an advisory board has already been established by the State or local government and includes broad participation) and under what conditions it would reconsider such an advisory board as decommissioning progresses (e.g., whether the licensee would consider implementing an advisory board when the facility moves from SAFSTOR to DECON). Specifically, the PSDAR could include additional details in the following areas to help stakeholders better understand the application of a community advisory board: a. A discussion of the composition of the proposed community advisory board to potentially include members from the licensee staff, representatives from appropriate State, tribal, and local government agencies, officials or their designees from host communities and counties and communities within the surrounding emergency planning zone, and representatives from citizen groups or other stakeholder interest groups (e.g., the Sierra Club, Riverkeeper). b. An estimation of the time when the community advisory board
