This report summarizes the study of the possibility of measuring sin{sup 2}thinsp{theta}{sub W} using the intense neutrino beam expected from the straight sections of the First Muon Collider ring. This study is based on realistic error calculations from the CCFR and the NuTeV experiments. Using a neutrino detector that is capable of identifying and distinguishing electrons and muons, along with a light isoscalar target, it is conceivable to measure sin{sup 2}thinsp{theta}{sub W} to the precision equivalent to the {ital W} mass uncertainty (experimental) of 30 MeV. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
