University of Arizona et al.; Notice of Consolidated Decision on 
Applications for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments

    This is a decision consolidated pursuant to Section 6(c) of the 
Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Materials Importation Act of 1966 
(Pub. L. 89-651, 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR 301). Related records can be 
viewed between 8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. in Room 4211, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.
    Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. No instrument of 
equivalent scientific value to the foreign instruments described below, 
for such purposes as each is intended to be used, is being manufactured 
in the United States.
    Docket Number: 94-014. Applicant: University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 
85721. Instrument: ICP Mass Spectrometer, Model ICP 200. Manufacturer: 
Turner Spectroscopy, United Kingdom. Intended Use: See notice at 59 FR 
12893, March 18, 1994. Reasons: The foreign instrument provides: (1) 
sensitivity to 2x107 ions/sec for 1 ppm indium, (2) isotopic 
precision to 0.2% for Ag 107/109 ratio and (3) ICP, glow discharge and 
laser ablation ion sources.
    Docket Number: 94-032. Applicant: University of Michigan, Ann 
Arbor, MI 48109-1063. Instrument: ICP Multicollector Mass Spectrometer, 
Model Plasma 54. Manufacturer: Fisons Elemental, United Kingdom. 
Intended Use: See notice at 59 FR 16188, April 6, 1994. Reasons: The 
foreign instrument provides: (1) a double focusing magnetic sector 
design with extended geometry, (2) a block of nine Faraday collectors, 
(3) a Daly detector with ion counting and (4) a laser probe for spatial 
work.
    Docket Number: 94-037. Applicant: University of Delaware, Newark, 
DE 19716. Instrument: Used Mass Spectrometer, Model VG Prism Series II. 
Manufacturer: VG Isogas/Fisons Instruments, United Kingdom. Intended 
Use: See notice at 59 FR 18370, April 18, 1994. Reasons: The foreign 
instrument provides: (1) an internal precision of 0.006 per mil for 3 
bar l samples of C02 (2) a carbonate preparation system 
and (3) three adjustable Faraday collectors.
    The capability of each of the foreign instruments described above 
is pertinent to each applicant's intended purposes. We know of no 
instrument or apparatus being manufactured in the United States which 
is of equivalent scientific value to either of the foreign instruments.
