COLA ER: Overall Content

* Content governed by proposed 51.50(c)(1) requirementso (i) Information to demonstrate that the design of the facility falls within

the site characteristics and design parameters specified in the early sitepermit;

o (ii) Information to resolve any significant environmental issue that wasnot resolved in the early site permit proceeding;

o (iii) Any significant new information for issues related to the impacts ofconstruction and operation of the facility that were resolved in the earlysite permit proceeding; and

o (iv) A description of the process used to identify new and significantinformation regarding the NRC's conclusions in the early site permitenvironmental impact statement. The process must use a reasonablemethodology for identifying such new and significant information.

o] (v) A demonstration that all environmental terms and conditions thathave been included in the early site permit will be satisfied by the dateof issuance of the combined license.

* Format will follow NUREG-1555

COLA ER Process Used to Identify.New and Significant Information

Step 1: Identify Issues Resolved in ESP FEIS-* COL applicants referencing an ESP include any

new and significant information for issues relatedto the. impacts of construction and operation of thefacility that were resolved in the ESP proceeding(SECY 06-0220, pg 7)

* COL Applicant will utilize as a baseline the FEIS toimplement the N&S process

COLA ER Process Used to IdentifyNew and Significant Information

Step 2: Document FEIS Key Inputs (informationused by NRC to make FEIS determination)m Careful review of FEIS conclusions and stated

assumptions

m This would include FEIS Appendix J, NRC StaffAssumptions Relevant to the Analysis of Impacts

m Based on the above review, document results inan-auditable form, e.g., table of FEIS Key Inputs

Step 3a: Screen FEIS Key Inputs for the following:m Information subject to change during the time

elapsed since the FEIS was issued

* Assumptions which may no longer be valid

Step 3b: Identify New Key Inputs, New information that could have an impact on an

NRC FEIS conclusion- not considered in FEIS; and

- not generally known or publicly available during thepreparation of the FEIS
