When I inquired about this a few weeks ago, the Nature Publishing Group customer service representative informed me that: "Nature Communications" is only beginning to accept submissions for Open Access publishing on Oct. 20th, 2014.  The actual OA publishing date is January 1, 2016."

Best to check-in with them, directly, though...

Hope this bit helps,
