The subject five-year reviews were initiated in February 2005 to determine whether revocation of the antidumping duty orders on sodium thiosulfate from China, Germany, and the United Kingdom would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to a domestic industry. On May 9, 2005, the Department of Commerce published notice that it was revoking the orders effective March 7, 2005, because ``the domestic interested parties did not participate in these sunset reviews'' (70 FR 24393). Accordingly, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), the subject reviews are terminated.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is requesting proposals leading to one (1) award of a Cooperative Agreement to Study User Satisfaction with Access to Government Information and Services at Public Libraries and Public Access Computing Centers. This study will explore how the part of the population with limited access to Internet resources (individuals who do not have broadband access from home, work, or school; who choose to access government services and information from locations other than home, work, or school; or who do so through traditional means of access) accesses services and information from the Federal, State, and local governments and whether such users are satisfied with the information and services they are able to access. The study will also examine the ways that public libraries and public access computing centers provide assistance (e.g., reference services, tutorials, classes, training) to users seeking information and services from the Federal, State, and local governments. Eligible organizations include all types of libraries except Federal and for-profit libraries. Eligible libraries include public, school, academic, special, private (not-for-profit), archives, library agencies, and library consortia. In addition, research libraries that give the public access to services and materials suitable for scholarly research not otherwise available to the public and that are not part of a university or college are eligible. Institutions of higher education, including public and not- for-profit universities and colleges, are also eligible. Graduate schools of library and information science may apply as part of an institution of higher education. The Cooperative Agreement will be for up to 2 years. The award amount will be up to $500,000. Those interested in receiving the Program Solicitation should see the address and contact information below.
