d affected Native American tribal agencies ` 10 CFR 52.18 with respect to reviewing applications for early site permits ` 10 CFR 52.81 with respect to reviewing applications for combined licenses ` 10 CFR 100.10(c) and 10 CFR 100.20(c) with respect to meteorological conditions at the site and in the surrounding area ` 40 CFR 50 with respect to definition of criteria pollutants and National Ambient Air Quality Standards ` 40 CFR 51, Subpart W, with respect to requirements related to determination that the proposed Federal action conforms to applicable implementation plans ` 40 CFR 51, Appendix W, with respect to air-quality models ` 40 CFR 81, Subpart C, with respect to attainment status designations approved by the EPA. Regulatory positions and specific criteria necessary to meet the regulations identified above are as follows: ` The description of the general climate of the region, including severe weather, should be based on published climatological summaries from nearby representative sites with long periods of record (see references in this ESRP). NUREG-1555 2.7-6 October 1999 ` At least one annual cycle from the onsite meteorological program should be used to relate local meteorological conditions to local and regional climatology. Regulatory Guide 1.23, Onsite Meteorological Programs (NRC 1972), provides guidance related to onsite meteorology programs. ESRP 6.4 sets forth the staff review plan for evaluation of the onsite meteorological program. ` Atmospheric dispersion models and assumptions described in Regulatory Guide 1.111, Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors (NRC 1977), should be used for estimating relative atmospheric concentrations and relative deposition used in calculating individual and population doses from routine releases of radioactive effluents to the atmosphere. ` Atmospheric dispersion models and assumptions described in Regulatory Guide 1.145,
