ing the DC to include information that addresses the identified COL action items. These COL action items (COL license information items) are those regulatory matters that the DC vendor deferred to the COL applicant to address in the COLA. For example, these items include (1) complete design information for the remainder of a proposed facility that references a DC, (2) verification of site parameters, (3) completion of analyses and design reports for as-built plant systems, (4) development and implementation of operational programs, and (5) completion of designs included in the DAC. Similarly, a COL applicant that references an ESP addresses any COL action items included as part of the ESP that were deferred to be addressed in the COLA. Section C.2.11 provides explanatory information and guidance on this topic. Applicants should note that the terms “COL action item” and “COL information item” have been used interchangeably; however, this RG uses the term “COL action item” for consistency throughout the document. Design Interfaces—Design Certification and Early Site Permit The DC FSAR is required by 10 CFR 52.47(a)(25) to contain the interface requirements that are met for those portions of the nuclear power plant for which the DC application does not seek certification. Further, 10 CFR 52.47(a)(26) requires the DC FSAR to contain justification that compliance with the interface requirements is verifiable through inspections, tests, or analyses. COLAs referencing a DC are required by 10 CFR 52.79(d) to contain information sufficient to demonstrate that the characteristics of the site fall within the site parameters specified in the DC and that the interface requirements established for the design under 10 CFR 52.47 have been met. If not demonstrated in the application, the COL applicant should include a request for departure that complies with the requirements of 10 CFR 52.63, 10 CFR 52.93, and/or Section VIII of the referenced DCR appendix to 10 CFR
