t statements (EISs) associated with applications for nuclear power plant construction permits (CPs) (10 CFR 50) and EIS supplements in connection with the issuance of an operating license (OL) (10 CFR 50). In the years since the preparation of the original ESRPs, the addition of 10 CFRs 52 and 54 has expanded the licensing framework. The framework now includes early site permits (ESPs) (10 CFR 52, Subpart A); combined licenses (COLs) that reference an ESP (10 CFR 52, Subpart C); COLs that do not reference an ESP (10 CFR 52, Subpart C); and license renewal (LR) (10 CFR 54). Each of these licensing actions requires a specific set of environmental reviews that ultimately lead to an EIS or supplement to an EIS. The table presented in this appendix is a guide to selection of ESRPs that are appropriate for use in reviews associated with each of these licensing actions except LR. LR is treated in a supplement to this document. ESRPs are listed in rows by numerical order, and columns designate the application type. The entries in the cells indicate whether the review in connection with the application should include the topic covered by the ESRP assuming that the application is associated with a “green field” location. A “green field” location is defined as an undeveloped site. The cell entries are derived from requirements presented in 10 CFRs 50, 51, 52, and 54 and other regulatory guidance as of June 1, 1997. NRC Environmental Project Managers (EPMs) for reviews leading to preparation of EISs and supplements should review current Commission policy for changes to specific license requirements at the start of each project. Commission regulations also provide for environmental reviews of limited scope. Limited Work Authorizations are permitted by 10 CFR 50.10(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
