is information, is performed under SRP Section 2.5.1 on “Basic Geologic and Seismic Information.” 2. Review of historical earthquake data to determine the Ground Motion Response Spectrum (GRMS) is performed under SRP 2.5.2 on “Vibratory Ground Motion.” 3. For DC applications and COL applications referencing a DC rule or DC application, review of the site parameters in the Design Control Document (DCD) Tier 1 and Chapter 2 of the DCD Tier 21 submitted by the applicant is performed under SRP Section 2.0, “Site Characteristics and Site Parameters.” Review of site characteristics and site- related design parameters in ESP applications or in COL applications referencing an ESP is also performed under Section 2.0. The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. 2.5.3-5 Revision 4 - March 2007 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion (GDC) 2, "Design Bases for Protection Against Natural Phenomena" as it relates to consideration of the most severe of the natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area, with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated. 2. For ESP applications, GDC are not applicable. However, the GDC 2 requirement to identify geologic site characteristics that consider the most severe of the natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area and with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated is specifically identified in 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi). 3. 10 CFR 100.23, "Geologic and Seismic Siting Criteria," as it relates to determining the potential for surface tectonic and non-tectonic deformations at and
