RFI At-A-Glance
We’re more than halfway into the response period for our Request for Information (RFI) on using a consent-based siting process to identify federal interim storage facilities. Ready to share your thoughts? You still have five weeks left to respond!
What
We are requesting information on how to use a consent-based siting process to site Federal facilities for the temporary, consolidated storage of spent nuclear fuel.
Who
We anticipate that the following groups may be interested in responding to the RFI:
- Communities
- Governments at the local, State, and Tribal levels;
- Members of the public;
- Energy and environmental justice groups;
- Organizations or corporations; and
- Other stakeholders
We especially welcome insight from people, communities, and groups that have historically not been well-represented in these discussions.

Interested parties may submit comments electronically to consentbasedsiting@hq.doe.gov. More detailed instructions can be found in the RFI. You can also check out the draft consent-based siting process and the summary of public comments referenced in the RFI at energy.gov/consentbasedsiting.
