inserted in the appropriate COL FSAR chapter/section in lieu of duplication of the information. Alternatively, a COLA FSAR may incorporate the DCD content and ESP SSAR content directly into the FSAR, however, the same requirements of 10 CFR 52.79(b) and 10 CFR 52.79(d)(2) apply. Section C.2.6 provides guidance on FSAR information and specific regulatory issues for COL applicants referencing a DC or ESP, or both. The guidance includes specific organization and format requirements for such an FSAR, the use of an appropriate administrative scheme to identify FSAR information on the referenced DC and/or ESP, as well as numerous issues (e.g. COL action items, design interface requirements, departures and variances) that are reflected in the FSAR. Design Certification Application As required by 10 CFR 52.47(a), the application includes an FSAR that describes the facility, presents the design bases and the limits on its operation, and presents a safety analysis of the SSCs and the facility as a whole. The DCR appendices to 10 CFR Part 52 are similarly structured and contain a common set of definitions and terminology that includes defining the DCD for a DC as being analogous to the FSAR required by 10 CFR 52.47, “Contents of Applications; Technical Information.” Additionally, the DCRs establish a two-tier hierarchy of design-related information (Tier 1 and Tier 2). The FSAR should contain the technical information of the scope and level of detail described in the SRP. Further, as required by 10 CFR 52.47(a)(9), the FSAR documents an evaluation of the design against the SRP revision in effect 6 months before the docket date of the application. The evaluation should identify and describe all differences in design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for the design and those corresponding features, techniques, and measures given in the SRP acceptance criteria. Where a difference exists, the evaluation should discuss how the proposed
