in the documentation or issues related to the technical adequacy of the model must be addressed through the review process. The review process and the results of communications with the code submitter must also be documented as appropriate in the SER to provide a traceable history of the review process. Restrictions and limitations on use of the evaluation model must be explicitly documented in the SER. The SER must document areas that were reviewed, the method of review, and the findings in each area. The SER must also document areas that were not reviewed and provide the reasons for their omission. The reviewers should determine if the evaluation model is a revision to a previously reviewed evaluation model. If the original evaluation model has restrictions on its use, the restrictions must be explicitly addressed in the SER for the revised evaluation model. The review of the revised evaluation model may result in the imposition of new restrictions to be placed on its use. All restrictions on use of the revised evaluation model must be explicitly identified. SER restrictions have been determined not to be legally enforceable. Only statements in the approved description of the evaluation model are legally 16 enforceable. Therefore, the applicant must revise its topical report to reflect all restrictions on use of the model. V.

Except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commissions’s regulations, the method described herein will be used by the staff in its evaluation of conformance with Commission regulations.
