ff agrees that they are representative of a reasonable number of sites that have been or may be considered for a COL application. Local and regional geologic and seismic parameters are specific to the site and region and will be addressed by the COL applicant. This should include the provision of information sufficient to demonstrate that the design of the plant falls within the values of the actual site characteristics specified in a COL or CP application. 3. Construction Permit, Operating License, and Combined License Reviews If staff completes review of geologic and seismic aspects of the plant site related to potential for surface deformation due to faulting and confirms that the applicant has met all applicable requirements (i.e., appropriate portions of GDC 2 in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR 100.23) and guidelines (i.e., Regulatory Guides 1.165, 1.132, 1.198, 1.208, 4.7, and 1.206), the conclusion in the SER should state that investigations and analyses performed and information provided support the applicant's conclusions regarding geologic and seismic suitability of the subject nuclear power plant site in relation to potential for surface deformation due to faulting. Licensing conditions established by staff to resolve any significant deficiency identified in the application should be stated in sufficient detail to make clear the precise nature of the concerns and the required resolution. The application is also reviewed for any significant new information derived from site vicinity, site area, or site location geologic, seismic, geophysical, and geotechnical investigations that had not been previously applied to tectonic and ground motion models used in the PSHA. 2.5.3-19 Revision 4 - March 2007 Determinations regarding geologic and seismic suitability of the site are made by staff after CP, OL, or COL application reviews. Conclusions regarding an OL application will include evaluation of excavations for Seismic Category I structures. For COL
