e staff’s conclusion with respect to the merits of the procedure. The reviewer should discuss briefly those alternatives rejected because of specific deficiencies and state why the alternatives were rejected. The reviewer should also identify those alternatives judged environ- mentally equivalent or inferior to the proposed system. The use of a table similar to Table 9.4.3-1 to present the staff’s comparison of these potentially acceptable alternative transmission systems is recommended. When the reviewer has concluded that an alternative is environmentally preferable and should be consid- ered as the preferred route (or route segment), design, construction practice, or maintenance technique, sufficient additional narrative detail should be included in the material to justify the alternative on an environmental and economic-cost basis. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described herein will be used by the staff in evaluating conformance with the Commission’s regulations, except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative for complying with specified portions of the regulations.
