Draft Revision 6 – September 2016 conclusions. The reviewer also considers any significant new information derived from site-specific geologic, seismic, geophysical, and geotechnical investigations that have not been considered or applied to tectonic and ground motion models used in the PSHA (Section 2.5.2). Literature Review The staff conducts a literature search and review of relevant references (e.g., published geological reports, USGS professional papers and open-file reports, university theses, physiographic and geologic maps, and aeromagnetic and gravity maps) to acquire additional information on geology and seismology at the site vicinity, area and location with respect to surface deformation potential. However, as publication of data and results commonly lags behind completion of research projects a reviewer does not rely entirely on information submitted by the applicant or in published literature. The reviewer identifies studies underway in the site region and obtains information on preliminary results of these studies. Special provisions might be required to examine proprietary data. The reviewer gives particular attention to models or data that have the potential to introduce alternative interpretations to the models or data in the application that might affect conclusions for safety or suitability of the site. Development of Requests for Additional Information During the detailed technical review, staff develops requests for additional information (RAI) related to issues considered to be inadequately addressed in the application that might affect conclusions for safety or suitability of the site. If insufficient data are provided in the application to support interpretations and conclusions presented, the staff will request that the applicant provide additional clarifying information. Questions might arise from discovery of references not cited by the applicant that suggest alternative interpretations to the information and interpretations provided by
