ysical data, seismicity, and the tectonic history) and the regional tectonic model. The discussion should include identification of the methods used to locate the earthquake hypocenters, an estimation of their accuracy, and a detailed account that compares and contrasts the geologic structure involved in the earthquake activity with other areas within the seismotectonic province. Particular attention should be given to determining the recency and level of activity of faults with which instrumentally located earthquake hypocenters may be associated. Acceptance of the proposed seismic sources (those identified by the investigations) is based on the staff's independent review of the geologic and seismic information presented by the applicant and available in the scientific literature.
