We investigate what kind of closed 3-manifolds can admit locally standard -actions. In particular, we will prove that for a closed connected 3-manifold M with , M admits a locally standard -action if and only if M is a connected sum of 8 copies of a -homology sphere N. So if such an M is irreducible, it must be homeomorphic to . Moreover, the argument can be extended to study orientable rational homology 3-spheres M with which admits locally standard -actions.
