cated on capable faults (capable tectonic sources) as determined by the detailed faulting investigations. If in the future it becomes feasible to U design for surface faulting, it will be necessary to present the design basis for surface faulting and supporting data in considerable detail. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The three-phase review procedure described in Standard Review Plan (SRP) Section 2.5.1 should be applied to assessing the potential for surface faulting. The first phase consists of an acceptance review to determine the completeness of the ESR or SAR by comparing the contents with the Criteria described in Part II, Acceptance Criteria, of this section. The second phase consists of a detailed review of the applicant's data and other independently derived information, which may result in requests for additional information. The third phase is a final review to resolve open issues and prepare a Safety Evaluation Report (SER). The staff review procedure involves an evaluation to determine that the applicant has performed adequate investigations to fulfill the general requirements of Reference 2. Acceptable methods are described in Reference 3. Consultants or advisors may be called on to assist the staff in reviewing this section of the ESR or SAR'on a case-by-case basis. On request, the advisor or consultant provides expertise in numerous earth science disciplines and occasionally is able to provide first-hand knowledge of the site. A literature search is conducted independently by the staff concerning the regional and local geology and seismology. The staff also utilizes the expertise of the U.S. Geological Survey and other Federal agencies, State 2.5.3-5 Rev. 3 - March 1997 geological surveys, universities, and private industry to obtain additional, up-to-date geosciences information regarding Quaternary tectonics at the site. According to 10 CFR 100.23, applicants are required to investigate the potential for near-surface deformation, both tectonically
