Renewal of Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board for Two-Year Period

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the renewal of the Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board (EM SSAB) for a two-year period, following consultation with the Committee Management Secretariat of the General Services Administration (GSA) and in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The EM SSAB serves as a community-facing advisory body that provides recommendations to DOE's Office of Environmental Management (EM). Its advice is directed to either the Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management or to Field Managers overseeing specific DOE sites across the country. The Board's primary function is to represent community perspectives on DOE's environmental cleanup and waste management activities at nuclear sites, ensuring local voices are incorporated into federal decision-making processes. The renewal ensures continuity of this advisory role on a continuing basis. This notice does not introduce new regulations or policy changes but confirms the administrative continuation of an existing federal advisory structure, maintaining community oversight channels for DOE's environmental management programs.
