ed the robustness of this conclusion relative to critical assumptions in the analysis— specifically the impact of uncertainties in the risk and cost estimates and the use of alternative benefit-cost screening criteria. The staff concludes that the findings of the analysis would be unchanged even considering these factors. Therefore the staff concludes that the mitigation alternatives committed to by the applicant are appropriate and no further mitigation measures are warranted. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described herein will be used by the staff in evaluating conformance with the Commission’s regulations, except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative for complying with specified portions of the regulations.
