e) and 10 CFR 52.25(a); 10 CFR 2, Subpart F, provides for Early Partial Decisions on Site Suitability Issues in connection with an application for construction; and 10 CFR 52, Appendix Q, provides for Pre-Application Early Review of Site Suitability Issues. It is anticipated that the guidance for the review and application handling process related to these matters will be covered in the Project Manager’s Handbook (NRC 1989). EPMs will direct reviewers to individual ESRPs in this document that may be useful in dealing with a specific matter under consideration. According to 10 CFR 51, Subpart A, Appendix A.1(b) and 10 CFR 51.95(a), the techniques of tiering and incorporation by reference may be used as appropriate to aid in the presentation of issues, eliminate repetition, or reduce the size of an EIS; in so doing, the EIS will summarize the discussion in the referenced document and provide specific section references to ensure that the public has easy access to relevant information. In appropriate circumstances, draft or final EISs of other Federal agencies may be adopted in whole or in part consistent with the procedures outlined in 40 CFR 1506.3. The concept of tiering is especially applicable to the preparation of EISs associated with COL applications that reference ESPs, and for EIS supplements in connection with OLs and LR. However, tiering should be considered NUREG-1555 October 1999 A.2 whenever there are existing environmental documents that contain relevant information. For example, tiering should be considered in the case of an application for a CP, ESP, or COL for a new plant at an existing nuclear facility.
