On January 25, 1999, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the

University dated January 6, 1999, for a license amendment to approve
its proposed decommissioning plan for the Iowa State Research Reactor

of the Iowa State University, in Ames, Iowa.
In accordance with 10 CFR 20.1405, the Commission is providing
notice and soliciting comments from local and State governments in the
vicinity of the site and any Indian Nation or other indigenous people
that have treaty or statutory rights that could be affected by the
decommissioning. This notice and solicitation of comments is published
pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1405, which requires publication in the Federal

with 10 CFR 20.1007, ``Communications,'' to the Executive Director for

Further, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(b)(5), notice is also
provided of the Commission's intent to approve the plan by amendment,
subject to such conditions and limitations as it deems appropriate and
necessary, if the plan demonstrates that decommissioning will be
performed in accordance with the regulations in this chapter and will
not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and
safety of the public.
A copy of the application is available for public inspection at the
Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, at 2120 L
