Applications for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments

    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), we invite comments on the question of whether 
instruments of equivalent scientific value, for the purposes for which 
the instruments shown below are intended to be used, are being 
manufactured in the United States.
    Comments must comply with Subsections 301.5(a)(3) and (4) of the 
regulations and be filed within 20 days with the Statutory Import 
Programs Staff, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230. 
Applications may be examined between 8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. in Room 
4211, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, 
N.W., Washington, D.C.
    Docket Number: 94-085. Applicant: University of Missouri-Kansas 
City, 5100 Rockhill Road, Kansas City, MO 64110. Instrument: X-Ray 
Photoelectron Spectrometer, Model MI201. Manufacturer: Kratos 
Analytical, United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used 
to study biological materials related to restorative dentistry and 
implants. These include synthetic hydroxy apatites, bio-polymers, 
composites, hydroxy apatite coatings, dentin, enamel and bone. The 
experiments are designed to provide surface chemical information of 
native surfaces or after modification through the use of etchants, 
polymers, or lasers. Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: 
July 8, 1994.
    Docket Number: 94-086. Applicant: University of Illinois at 
Chicago, Department of Chemistry, 845 W Taylor Street, Rm 4500, 
Chicago, IL 60607-7061. Instrument: Excimer Pumped Dye Laser, Model 
SCANMATE. Manufacturer: Lambda Physik, Germany. Intended Use: The 
instrument will be used to detect small gas phase molecules such as 
hydrogen (H2) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) in a molecular beam, 
using the technique of multiphoton ionization. In addition, the 
instrument will be used in the course Chemical Research, Chemistry 599 
by graduate students pursuing masters and doctoral degrees in 
chemistry. Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: July 8, 
1994.
    Docket Number: 94-088. Applicant: University of Hawaii at Manoa, 
Department of Horticulture, 3190 Maile Way, St. John 102, Honolulu, HI 
96822. Instrument: Portable Cholorphyll Fluorometer, Model PAM-2000. 
Manufacturer: Heinz Walz GmbH, Germany. Intended Use: The instrument 
will be used to make chlorophyll fluorescence determinations to 
discover the photosynthetic efficiency of vegetable crops which have 
been treated with methanol sprays to increase their productivity. 
Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: July 8, 1994.
    Docket Number: 94-089. Applicant: University of California, Los 
Alamos National Laboratory, P.O. Box 990, Los Alamos, NM 87545. 
Instrument: Field Emission Electron Microscope with Accessories, Model 
JEM-3000F. Manufacturer: JEOL Ltd., Japan. Intended Use: The instrument 
will be used for determining the structure and chemistry of interfaces, 
grain boundaries, dislocations and other defects in ceramics, 
intermetallics, composites, superconductors and semiconductors by high 
resolution phase contrast imaging as a function of defocus. Application 
Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: July 11, 1994.
