Cedar Rapids will apply a $970,000 federal mass transit grant mainly to cover the city's operating shortfall of about $1.3 million for the year. The grant requires local matching funds for the remainder and will fund capital projects at 80 percent federal with 20 percent local.

IE seeks to have fine dismissed or reduced
Iowa Electric Light and Power asks the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to eliminate or lessen a $40,000 penalty for NRC rule violations at the Duane Arnold Energy Center near Palo. The emergency diesel generator failed to start in 30 seconds during a test, due to oil filter installation issues, though no public safety threat was found. The problem lasted 18 days and NRC allows operation with one generator for seven days until resolved. NRC will review IE's response before deciding on formal imposition and possible hearings.
