ordingly, a COL applicant that seeks applicability of the same regulations in regard to MC&A of SNM that apply to nuclear reactors licensed under 10 CFR Part 50 should request an exemption from 10 CFR 70.22(b), 10 CFR 70.32(c), 10 CFR 74.31, 10 CFR 74.41, and 10 CFR 74.51. C.2.14 Information Change Processes for Combined License Applicants OVERVIEW Under 10 CFR Part 52, a COLA may reference an ESP or DC, or both. A COL applicant that intends to change portions of the information contained in the referenced ESP or DC, or both, should comply with the 10 CFR Part 52 provisions that address the unique information change processes. A referenced ESP has regulatory finality in regard to the site as provided by 10 CFR 52.39, which describes processes for a COL applicant to request or to make changes to ESP information. A referenced DC has regulatory finality associated with the design as provided by 10 CFR 52.63(b) and the applicable Appendix to 10 CFR part 52. 10 CFR 52.63(b) describes the process for a COL applicant to request or to make changes to DC information. DG-1325, Page-94 It is essential that the COL applicant referencing an ESP or DC, or both, maintain a clear distinction between the information contained in the COLA itself and that information formally incorporated by reference from the ESP or DC, or both. Such distinction is necessary because of the different information change control and reporting requirements. The COL applicant is responsible for ensuring that the information presented in the application is complete through a combination of formal incorporation by reference and COLA-specific material. The COL applicant is also responsible for ensuring that the application is current and accurate. If information (e.g., site characteristics) has changed since the issuance of a referenced ESP or DC, changes to that referenced information may be necessary (e.g., an ESP variance). The guidance provided herein addresses the processes that a COL applicant follows
