Notice and Solicitation of Comments Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1405 
and 10 CFR 50.82(b)(5) Concerning Proposed Action To Decommission Iowa

    On January 25, 1999, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the 
Commission) noticed receipt of an application from the Iowa State 
University dated January 6, 1999, for a license amendment to approve 
its proposed decommissioning plan for the Iowa State Research Reactor 
(Facility License No. R-59) located on the west edge of the main campus 
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 
Register and in a forum such as local newspapers, letters to State or 
local organizations, or other appropriate forum that is readily 
accessible to individuals in the vicinity of the site. Comments should 
be provided within 30 days of the date of this notice in accordance 
with 10 CFR 20.1007, ``Communications,'' to the Executive Director for 
Operations, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
    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 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20037.
