| 03-27805 | Policy Statement on the Treatment of Environmental Justice Matters in NRC Regulatory and Licensing Actions | Notice | This draft policy statement on the treatment of environmental justice (EJ) matters in Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulatory and licensing actions is being issued for public comment. It reaffirms that the Commission is committed to full compliance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in all of its regulatory and licensing actions. The Commission recognizes that the impacts, for NEPA purposes, of its regulatory or licensing actions on certain populations may be different from impacts on the general population due to a community's distinct cultural characteristics or practices. Disproportionately high and adverse impacts of a proposed action that fall heavily on a particular community call for close scrutiny--a hard look--under NEPA. While Executive Order (E.O.) 12898, "Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations' characterizes these impacts as involving an "environmental justice" matter, the NRC believes that an analysis of disproportionately high and adverse impacts needs to be done to fulfill its NEPA obligations to accurately identify and disclose all significant environmental impacts associated with a proposed action. Consequently, while the NRC is committed to the general goals of E.O. 12898, it will strive to meet those goals through its normal and traditional NEPA review process. | 2003-11-05 | 2003 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/11/05/03-27805/policy-statement-on-the-treatment-of-environmental-justice-matters-in-nrc-regulatory-and-licensing | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-11-05/pdf/03-27805.pdf | Nuclear Regulatory Commission | 383 | This draft policy statement on the treatment of environmental justice (EJ) matters in Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulatory and licensing actions is being issued for public comment.
