SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter dated December 23, 2014, KHNP and 
KEPCO filed with the NRC, pursuant to Section 103 of the Atomic Energy 
Act and Part 52 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 
CFR), an application for standard design certification of the APR1400 
Standard Plant Design.
    The APR1400 stands for Advanced Power Reactor with a 1,400 
megawatts electrical power and two-loop pressurized water reactor, 
developed in the Republic of Korea. Based on the self-reliant 
technologies and experiences from the design, construction, operation 
and maintenance of the Optimized Power Reactor 1000 (OPR1000), the 
APR1400 adopts advanced design features to enhance plant safety, 
economical efficiency, and convenience of operation and maintenance. 
The APR1400 application includes the entire power generation complex, 
except those elements and features considered site-specific. The 
acceptability of the tendered application for docketing and other 
matters relating to the requested rulemaking pursuant to 10 CFR 52.51 
for design certification, including provisions for participation of the 
public and other parties, will be the subject of subsequent Federal 
Register notices.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of January, 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Jeffrey A. Ciocco,
Senior Project Manager, Licensing Branch 2, Division of New Reactor 
Licensing, Office of New Reactors.
