published in the Federal Register, 37 FR 28710 (1972), and Sections 
2.105, 2.700, 2.702, 2.714, 2.714a, 2.717 and 2.1207 of the 
Commission's Regulations, a single member of the Atomic Safety and 
Licensing Board Panel is hereby designated to rule on requests for 
hearing and/or petitions to intervene, and, if necessary, to serve as

the following proceeding.

Advanced Medical Systems

[Denial of Materials License]

    The hearing, if granted, will be conducted pursuant to 10 CFR part 
2 Subpart L of the Commission's Regulations, ``Informal Hearing 
Procedures for Adjudications in Materials and Operator Licensing 
Proceedings.'' This proceeding is established as a result of the 
petitioner, Advanced Medical Systems, requesting a hearing on October 
15, 1998, in response to an NRC letter dated September 28, 1998. The 
letter informs Advanced Medical Systems that its application for 
renewal of its license to possess and use nuclear materials has been 
denied due to a finding of the NRC Staff that it lacked the requisite 
financial assurance necessary for decommissioning the facility.
    The Presiding Officer in this proceeding is Administrative Judge B. 
Paul Cotter, Jr. Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.722, the 
Presiding Officer has appointed Administrative Judge Thomas D. Murphy 
to assist the Presiding Officer in taking evidence and in preparing a 
suitable record for review.
    All correspondence, documents and other materials shall be filed 
with Judge Cotter and Judge Murphy in accordance with 10 CFR 2.701. 
Their addresses are:

Administrative Judge B. Paul Cotter, Jr., Presiding Officer, Atomic 
Safety and Licensing Board Panel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
Washington, D.C. 20555
