o general objectives and specific review guidelines. The review guidelines represent what the staff believes should be considered by reviewers in determining if the general objectives are met. Because each of the objectives can be adequately addressed in many ways and may be satisfied without addressing each of the review guidelines, it will often be necessary for reviewers to use their expert judgment in determining the acceptability of a particular submittal.

Reviewers should become very familiar with the general objectives of each section of a PGP. The specific review guidelines can serve as the basis for making the subjective evaluations of the general objectives. C. When an objective is not met or a specific
