What are Site-Specific Advisory Boards? Site Specific Advisory Boards were developed to involve stakeholders more directly in DOE cleanup decisions. While only one Federal Advisory Committee Act-chartered EM SSAB exists, eight local site boards are chartered under the EM-SSAB umbrella charter. They are organized at the following DOE Sites: Hanford, Idaho, Los Alamos, Nevada, Oak Ridge, Paducah, Portsmouth, and Savannah River. 2

What do the Local Site Boards do? • Provide DOE with policy information, advice, and recommendations concerning environmental restoration, waste management, and technology development activities. • Provide input and recommendations on difficult and sometimes controversial national and site specific issues; such as future use, risk, management, clean-up levels, economic development, and budget prioritization activities. What are Local Site Boards Responsibilities? • Submitting advice and recommendations to DOE on key EM issues while representing and communicating the diversity of views in their discussions. • Keeping the public informed on key issues, upcoming decisions, and board recommendations. DOE’s obligations to the Local Site Boards include: • Keeping the boards informed about key issues and upcoming decisions. • Requesting recommendations in advance of DOE deadlines. • Considering and responding in a timely manner to all board recommendations. 3
