REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s review of environmental impacts on minority and low-income populations from proposed project routine operations and reasonably anticipated accidents to the extent that such information can serve as the basis of an environmental impact statement (EIS) section on environmental justice. The scope of the review directed by this plan should include consideration of the methods that are used to identify and quantify impacts on minority and low-income populations, the location and significance of any environmental impacts during operations on populations that are particularly sensitive, and any additional information pertaining to mitigation. The descriptions to be provided by this review should be of sufficient detail to permit subsequent staff assessment and evaluation of specific impacts, in particular whether these impacts are likely to be negative and disproportionate. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 2.5.4. Obtain descriptions of the minority and low-income populations that could be disproportionately impacted by proposed project operations and the mechanisms (including socioeconomic) by which disproportionate harm could occur. NUREG-1555 5.8.3-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 3.1. Obtain descriptions of power systems. ` ESRP 3.7. Obtain descriptions of power transmission systems and operations. ` ESRPs 5.1 through 5.8. Obtain descriptions of potential environmental (including socioeconomic [CEQ 1997]) impacts. ` ESRP 7.1. Obtain descriptions of potential accidents. ` ESRPs 9.3 and 9.4. If the reviewer concludes that proposed operations will result in disproportionate adverse impacts on minority or low-income populations that should be avoided, then obtain input from the reviewers for ESRPs 9.3 and 9.4 to consider
