e margin region and for sites at which a known tectonic structure dominates the hazard. The staff will perform an independent evaluation of the earthquake potential associated with each seismic source that could affect the site; The staff will evaluate the applicant's controlling earthquakes based on historical seismicity (including maximum historical earthquakes) and paleoseismicity. For guidance in evaluating the earthquake potential and characterizing the uncertainty for sites that are assessed using methods other than the LLNL or EPRI methods and data bases, or for sites outside the CEUS, refer to the Senior Seismic Hazard Analysis Committee (SSHAC) Report (Ref. 12).
