The COL applicant should provide sufficient information to support the NRC licensing decision. Therefore, a COL action item cannot be deferred until after a COL is issued if resolution of that item is necessary for the NRC staff to make the findings required to issue the license. For example, if the COL action item addresses both information necessary for licensing action and information necessary to update the FSAR or other licensing-basis documents following issuance of the license, the COL applicant should provide the information necessary for licensing and should propose a method for ensuring the final closure of the remaining portion of the COL action item following the issuance of a COL.
