ude. These parameters may include, but are' not limited to, slip rate, recurrence intervals, length, rupture area, and fault type (Ref. 11). 2.5.3-7 Rev. 3 - March 1997 Subsection 2.5.3.4 Ages of Most Recent Deformation. This subsection is evaluated to determine if the times of most recent activity have been estimated for the features identified, and there is sufficient bases supporting those estimates. Much of the effort will consist of determining whether the geochronological methodologies used by the applicant are based on accepted procedures. In some cases unusual or untested age-dating techniques may have been used. When such methods are employed, the staff will require documentation of the technique. The accuracy of all age-dating techniques used in the applicant's analysis should be carefully documented. Multiple samples should be tested, and more than one dating method should be applied to each horizon that is significant in estimating the age of a paleosiesmic event. The staff may require the services of one or more consultants who have expertise in the methods used. Subsection 2.5.3.5 Relationship of Tectonic Structures in the Site Area to Regional Tectonic Structures. This subsection is evaluated by determining through a literature search that the applicant's evaluation of the regional tectonic framework is consistent with that of recognized experts whose reports appear in the peer-reviewed published literature. The conclusions reached by the applicant should be based on sound geological principles and should explain the available geological and geophysical data. When special investigations are made to determine the structural relationship between faults that pass within 8 km (5 mi) of the site and regional faults, the resolution accuracy of the investigative techniques should be given. Subsection 2.5.3.6 Characterization of Capable Tectonic Sources. This subsection is evaluated to determine whether a sufficiently detailed investigation has been made by
