Draft Revision 6 – September 2016 for future surface displacements. In addition, staff should confirm that the application contains information on small earthquakes correlated to growth faults or fluid injection or withdrawal, as appropriate, to discern between tectonic activity and human-induced events and determine the potential for future movement on growth faults. (5) Relationship of Geological Features in the Site Vicinity to Regional Geological Features. The reviewer evaluates relationships of tectonic structures in the site vicinity with regional tectonic structures by using a literature review to determine that the applicant's evaluation of the regional tectonic framework is reasonable. The reviewer confirms that conclusions reached by the applicant are based on acceptable geologic principles and have considered appropriate geologic and geophysical data. The reviewer considers the resolution accuracy of the investigation methods used by the applicant. (6) Potential for Surface Deformation at the Site. The reviewer evaluates the information provided by the applicant to characterize past surface deformation events in the site region. The reviewer then assesses the applicant’s approach for integrating this information into an assessment of the potential for future surface deformation at the site per 10 CFR 100.23 (d)(2). The assessment should distinguish between tectonic and nontectonic surface deformation. If the potential for future surface deformation exists at the site, the reviewer will confirm that information in the application demonstrates that the potential effects of surface deformation are within the design basis of the proposed facility. Review Considerations Specific to 10 CFR Part 52 Application Type 1. Early Site Permit Reviews 10 CFR Part 52, Subpart A, “Early Site Permits” specifies the requirements and procedures applicable to the Commission’s review of an ESP application for approval of a proposed site. Information required in an
