nce document when an electronic medium is used for the COLA. When an application includes hyperlinks to the DCD and other reference documents, these files should be the files within the NRC electronic recordkeeping system (ADAMS). The ADAMS links will not be automatically updated when the ADAMS file is superseded by a newer version; therefore, the applicant would need to resubmit all files that would be impacted with updated links to the newer version. Likewise, a COLA may incorporate by reference documents related to an ESP, and the electronic applications may include hyperlinks to the ESP references in ADAMS. DG-1325, Page-41 COL applicants should facilitate the NRC’s review of COLAs that incorporate a DC by reference. For example, the applicant should integrate the plant-specific DCD into the FSAR included in the COLACOLACOLACOLA by inserting the information from the generic DCD into the FSAR or, for electronic submittals, by providing hyperlinks from the COLA to the appropriate section of the generic DCD. Regardless of the approach selected the applicant should clearly distinguish information quoted directly from the generic DCD from the plant-specific departures and exemptions to the generic DCD that the NRC will review in the COLA. In addition, site-specific information and operational programs should also be distinguished from information in the generic DCD. Applicants should clearly identify the information in the application and the FSAR in terms of its role in addressing COL action items, proposed departures or variances, replacement of conceptual design information, and supplemental information provided in a generic DCD or ESP. Applicants should identify information that is specific to the subject application and information that is referencing or will be referenced by another COLA (e.g., reference or standard information). The staff anticipates that, as described in 10 CFR 52.55(c), some COLAs will reference a design for which a DC application has been
