nterchange agreements, wheeling arrangements, etc. ` ESRP 8.4. Provide a list of power pooling agreements as they might impact reserve margin criteria. ` ESRP 9.1. Provide a list of factors that might encourage or impede the possibility of purchasing electrical power rather than installing new generating capacity. ` ESRP 9.3. Identify and provide information on the geographical boundaries of the applicant’s service area(s). Data and Information Needs Affected States and/or regions are expected to prepare a need-for-power evaluation. NRC will review the evaluation and determine if it is (1) systematic, (2) comprehensive, (3) subject to confirmation, and (4) responsive to forecasting uncertainty. If the need for power evaluation is found acceptable, no additional independent review by NRC is needed, and the analysis can be the basis for ESRPs 8.2 through 8.4. October 1999 8.1-3 NUREG-1555 As part of their analyses of the need for power, States and/or regional authorities are expected to describe and assess the regional power system. The reviewer should evaluate the description and determine if it is comprehensive and subject to confirmation. If it is found acceptable, no additional data collection by NRC should usually be needed. These data may be supplemented by information sources such as the Energy Information Administration, FERC, the North American Electric Reliability Council, and others. If an analysis meeting the preceding criteria is not available, the following data or information should be obtained by NRC staff for review of the applicant’s need-for-power analysis: ` a map indicating the geographical and political boundaries of the relevant service area. The map should indicate major electrical load centers and major intertie-transfer capabilities with neighboring utility systems. If there are no specific system boundaries, the staff should obtain the best possible description of typical competitors and satisfy themselves that the proposed facility will
