These certifications must state that—
(i) The proposed emergency plans are practicable;
(ii) These agencies are committed to participating in any further development of the plans, including any required field demonstrations; and
(iii) These agencies are committed to executing their responsibilities under the plans in the event of an emergency.
(2) If certifications cannot be obtained after sustained, good faith efforts by the applicant, then the application must contain information, including a utility plan, sufficient to show that the proposed plans provide reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency at the site.
(3) If complete and integrated emergency plans were approved as part of an early site permit, or submitted, reviewed, and approved as part of the CP application, new certifications that demonstrate compliance with the requirements of paragraph (i)(1) of this section are not required.

(n) Security program. A physical security plan that describes how the applicant will comply with § 53.860 (and 10 CFR part 11, if applicable, including the identification and description of jobs as required by § 11.11(a) of this chapter, at the proposed facility). The plan must list tests, inspections, audits, and other means to be used to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR parts 11 and 73, if applicable.
(o) Safeguards contingency plan. A safeguards contingency plan in accordance with the criteria set forth in appendix C to 10 CFR part 73.

Each application for this type of license must include the information contained in the applicant's safeguards contingency plan. (Implementing procedures required for this plan need not be submitted for approval.)
