Register (59 FR 16246, April 6, 1994). A Notice for Opportunity for
Hearing was also issued in that Federal Register Notice. The
application was submitted by Energy Fuels Nuclear, Incorporated, a
predecessor of International Uranium (USA) Corporation.
The NRC received a letter dated July 22, 1999, from International
Uranium (USA) Corporation requesting that NRC, ``immediately terminate
all review work on the Reno Creek ISL Project Source Materials License
Application.'' The NRC considers this request a withdrawal of the
License Application in accordance with 10 CFR 2.107. As stated in 10
CFR 2.107(b), the withdrawal of an application does not authorize the
removal of any document from the files of the Commission. If it desires
to do so, International Uranium (USA) Corporation may again apply for a
specific license for the Reno Creek ISL Project at some time in the
future by submitting a license application in accordance with 10 CFR
40.31.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th Day of July 1999.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
