Design Certification Rule Amendment Request for the AP1000 Design

    By letter dated May 26, 2007, as supplemented by letters dated 
October 26, November 2, December 12, 2007, January 11, and January 14, 
2008, Westinghouse Electric Company, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 
submitted an amendment request to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC) to revise AP1000 Design Certification (DC) Rule, filed 
pursuant to Section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act and Subpart B, 
``Standard Design Certifications,'' of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), part 52, ``License Certifications and Approvals 
for Nuclear Power Plants.'' The reactor design proposed for amendment 
in the request is the AP1000 design, Revision 15, as referenced in 10 
CFR 52, Appendix D, ``Design Certification Rule for the AP1000 
Design.''
    The NRC staff has determined that Westinghouse has submitted 
sufficient information in accordance with 10 CFR part 2, ``Rules of 
Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings and Issuance of Orders,''

number established for this review is 52-006. Docketing of the 
amendment request does not preclude the NRC from requesting additional 
information from the applicant as the review proceeds, nor does it 
predict whether the Commission will grant or deny the amendment 
request.
    Finally, the Commission will announce in a future Federal Register 
notice the opportunity to comment on the proposed rulemaking.
    Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC's
