REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s identification and evaluation of the internal and external costs of construction and operation of the proposed project. The reviewer may rely on an independent analysis of benefits by State or regional authorities or the applicant’s analysis. An independent assessment may also be prepared. If a review of the applicant’s analysis is conducted, the reviewer must ensure that the applicant’s assumption, data, and methods have been accepted by reviewers for ESRP Chapters 3.0, 5.0, 7,0, 8.0, and 9.0. If reviewers have provided the independent analysis, the review in this ESRP should be modified accordingly. The scope of the review directed by this plan should include (1) capital costs, fuel costs, operating and maintenance costs, decommissioning costs, and any other identified internal costs, (2) the external costs of impacts (e.g., loss of productivity, loss of wildlife habitat) identified in previous environmental reviews, and (3) other external costs not associated with an identified environmental impact. Costs should be identified for the applicant’s proposed project and for any staff-identified alternatives to mitigate adverse impacts. Primary reliance should be placed on quantitative estimates where possible. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRPs 3.2 through 3.8.
