A COL may reference an Early Site Permit (ESP), a standard Design Certification (DC), both, or neither. An ESP addresses the site that plant will be built on while a DC describes the reactor design. A COL application must address the information contained in an ESP or a DC if it does not reference them.
In 1993 the U.S. Department of Commerce, in conjunction with several public and private entities, created InterNIC to maintain a central database that contains all the registered domain names and the associated IP addresses in the U.S. (other countries maintain their own NICs (Network Information Centers) -- there is a link below that discusses Canada's system, for example).
Parts 0 to 199 are the requirements (and reserved for the requirements) prescribed by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and binding on all persons and organizations who receive a license from NRC to use nuclear materials or operate nuclear facilities.
