DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology 

Notice of Prospective Grant of 

Exclusive Patent License 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology, Commerce. 

SUMMARY: This is a notice in accordance 

with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) and 37 CFR 

404.7(a)(1)(i) that the National Institute 

of Standards and Technology (‘‘NIST’’), 

U.S. Department of Commerce, is 

contemplating the grant of an exclusive 

license in the United States of America, 

its territories, possessions and 

commonwealths, to NIST’s interest in 

the invention embodied in U.S. Patent 

No. 5,514,501 (Application No. 08/ 

255,961), titled ‘‘Process For UVPhotopatterning of Thiolate Monolayers 

Self-Assembled On Gold, Silver and 

Other Substrates,’’ NIST Docket No. 93–

047US to Stratos Biosystems, LLC, 

having a place of business at 2401 

Elliott Avenue, 5th Floor, Seattle, 

Washington 98121. The grant of the 

license would be for the field of use: 

Substrates for analysis of proteins and 

nucleic acids by mass spectrometry in 

the Life Sciences Research and In Vitro 

Diagnostic markets. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J. 

Terry Lynch, National Institute of 

Standards and Technology, Office of 

Technology Partnerships, 100 Bureau 

Drive, Stop 2200, Gaithersburg, MD 

20899, Phone 301–975–2691. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

prospective exclusive license will be 

royalty bearing and will comply with 

the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 

209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective 

exclusive license may be granted unless, 

within thirty days from the date of this 

published Notice, NIST receives written 

evidence and argument which establish 

that the grant of the license would not 

be consistent with the requirements of 

35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The 

availability of the invention for 

licensing was published in the Federal 

Register on October 11, 1994. 

U.S. Patent No. 5,514,501 is owned by 

the U.S. government, as represented by 

the Secretary of Commerce. The 

invention is a process for creating a two 

dimensional spacial distribution pattern 

of ferent thiolate molecules on a 

substrate by illuminating a surface of a 

self-assembled monolayer of a first 

thiolate compound in the presence of 

oxygen with high frequency 

electromagnetic radiation distributed 

according to a desired pattern, and 

subsequently immersing the illuminated 

substrate in a solution of a second 

thiolate compound so that molecules of 

the first thiolate compound in 

illuminated areas of the monolayer are 

exchanged for molecules of said second 

thiolate compound; and a patterned 

biomolecular composite formed of a 

substrate which forms a self-assembled 

thiolate monolayer when immersed in a 

solution of a thiolate forming 

compound, a thiolate monolayer 

deposited on the substrate and 

composed of patterned areas of first and 

second thiolate compounds, 

respectively, the first thiolate compound 

having an affinity for specifically or 

nonspecifically adsorbing a biological 

molecule, and the second thiolate 

compound having essentially no affinity 

for the biological molecule, and at least 

one biological material adsorbed in a 

corresponding pattern on the patterned 

areas of the first thiolate compound in 

the thiolate monolayer.

clutter. A processor mitigates a clutter 

cloud in a reflected radar signal, the 

clutter cloud having a velocity growth 

rate. The processor includes an input for 

receiving a reflected radar signal, a 

delay line having a plurality of moving 

target indicator (MTI) Doppler filters, 

and an output connected in circuit with 

the plurality of MTI Doppler filters. The 

delay line covers a Doppler frequency 

range corresponding to the velocity 

growth rate of the clutter cloud. The 

reflected radar signal passes through the 

delay line to mitigate a portion of the 

reflected radar signal that is reflected by 

the clutter cloud from the reflected 

radar signal.

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(c) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) of 1969 (as amended), the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los 

Angeles District (Corps) Regulatory 

Branch, in coordination with the County 

of San Bernardino and in cooperation 

with U.S. Forest Service, has completed 

a Final Environmental Impact 

Statement/Environmental Impact Report 

(EIS/EIR) for the Burlington Northern 

Santa Fe (BNSF) Third Main Track 

Summit to Keenbrook Project. The 

proposed BNSF project requires 

authorization pursuant to section 404 of 

the Clean Water Act for approximately 

2.95 acres of fill placement in 

jurisdictional waters of the United 

States, including wetlands, to construct 

15.9 miles of a new main track through 

the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino 

County, California. Three alternatives 

were co-equally analyzed in the EIS/ 

EIR, including Alternative 1 (Reduced 

Footprint), Alternative 2 (Standard 

Engineering Design) and the No Action 

Alternative, as required by NEPA. As 

the project proponent and applicant, the 

BNSF Railway Co. selected Alternative 

1 as its preferred alternative. The Corps 

determined Alternative 1 is the 

environmentally preferred alternative 

and the least environmentally damaging
