* Acceptance review start date is consistent with the guidance provided in RIS 2008-01.

** 10 CFR 51.26(d) states that scoping is not required for a supplement to an EIS for a COL application that is submitted following a submittal of an early site permit application.

*** The target date for completion of the mandatory hearing is based on guidance in the SRM for SECY-10-0082, dated December 23, 2010. The SRM states that the objective for completing the mandatory hearing will be four months after the issuance of the FSER or Final Environmental Impact Statement. The target date assumes that the AP1000 design certification amendment rulemaking affirmation will be completed prior to the December 2011 target date for completion of the mandatory hearing.
