this notice. Parties can find a complete 

discussion of all issues raised in this

memorandum which is on file in the 

Central Records Unit room B–099 of the 

main Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly

Preliminary Results of Review 

The Department preliminarily 

determines that revocation of the CVD 

order would likely lead to continuation 

or recurrence of a countervailable 

subsidy. The net countervailable 

subsidy likely to prevail if the order 

were revoked is 0.19 percent ad 

valorem. 

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs no later than December 7, 2005, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.309 

(c)(1)(i). Any interested party may 

request a hearing within 30 days of 

publication of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.310 (c). Rebuttal briefs, 

which must be limited to issues raised 

in the case briefs, may be filed not later 

than December 12, 2005, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.309 (d). Any hearing, 

if requested, will be held on or about 

December 14, 2005. The Department 

will issue a notice of final results of this 

sunset review, which will include the 

results of its analysis of issues raised in 

any such comments, no later than 

February 25, 2006. However, February 

25, 2006, falls on Saturday. It is the 

Department’s long–standing practice to 

issue a determination the next business 

day when the statutory deadline falls on 

a weekend, federal holiday, or any other 

day when the Department is closed. See 

Notice of Clarification: Application of 

‘‘Next Business Day’’ Rule for 

Administrative Determination Deadlines 

Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As 

Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). 

Accordingly, the deadline for 

completion of these final results is 

February 27, 2006. 

We are issuing and publishing the 

results and notice in accordance with 

sections 751(c), 752, and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act.

Title: Method for Selective Electroless 

Attachment of Contacts to 

Electrochemically-active Molecules. 

Abstract: A solution-based method for 

attaching metal contacts to molecular 

films is described. The metal contacts 

are attached to functional groups on 

individual molecules in the molecular 

film. The chemical state of the 

functional group is controlled to induce 

electroless metal deposition 

preferentially at the functional group 

site. The functionalized molecules may 

also be patterned on a surface to give 

spatial control over the location of the 

metal contacts in a more complex 

structure. Spatial control is limited only 

by the ability to pattern the molecular 

film. To demonstrate the feasibility of 

this concept, self-assembled monolayers 

of model, molecular-electronic 

compounds have been prepared on gold 

surfaces, and these surfaces were 

subsequently exposed to electroless 

deposition plating baths. These samples 

exhibited selective metal contact 

attachment, even on patterned surfaces.

Title: Portable LED-illuminated 

Radiance Source. 

Abstract: With the development of 

light-emitting diodes (LED) at many 

different wavelengths, compact, quasimonochromatic sources can be 

developed for radiometric uses. 

Temporally stable, spatially uniform 

and radiometically calibrated sources 

are needed in many different 

applications. Instead of using large 

integrating sphere sources, such 

radiance sources can also be used to 

measure the size-of-source effect (SSE) 

in radiation thermometers. These 

compact sources can be used for both 

initial characterizations and for periodic 

measurements to determine that the SSE 

has not changed. This invention 

provides the design, construction, and 

characterization of a LED-based 

radiance source (LRS). The performance 

of the LRS including spatial uniformity, 

temporal stability, spectral stability, and 

radiance are addressed. Different 

diffuser materials are assessed for 

spatial and angular uniformity.
