FR 52.17(b)(3), respectively. Section C.2.9 provides guidance on ITAAC development and format. Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria As required by 10 CFR 52.80(a), a COLA includes the proposed inspections, tests, and analyses, including those applicable to EP, that the applicant should do and the acceptance criteria that are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are done and the acceptance criteria met, the facility has been constructed and will be operated in conformity with the COL, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), and the Commission’s rules and regulations. The COL applicant should include the proposed selection method and criteria for establishing ITAAC in FSAR Section 14.3 and include the proposed ITAAC in Part 8 of the COLA. For a COL applicant, successful completion of all ITAAC is a prerequisite for fuel load and a condition of the license. After the Commission makes its finding in accordance with 10 CFR 52.103(g) and authorizes fuel load, the ITAAC are no longer license requirements nor do they have legal standing. In recognition of the finite nature of the ITAAC, 10 CFR 52.80 identifies ITAAC as additional technical information required in the application. Therefore, Part 8 of the application containing the ITAAC will not become part of the facility’s FSAR. As required by 10 CFR 52.47(b)(1), a DC application includes the proposed ITAAC that are necessary and sufficient to give reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are done and the acceptance criteria met, a facility that references the DC has been constructed and will be operated in conformity with the DC, the provisions of the AEA, and the Commission’s rules and regulations. DC applicants using the document hierarchy convention of “Tier 1” and “Tier 2” should include the ITAAC along with the required design descriptions, significant interface
