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 part 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 15 CFR 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: 93-141R. Applicant: University of California, Los 
Alamos National Laboratory, P.O. Box 990, Los Alamos, NM 87545. 
Instrument: Current Limiting Interrupting Device. Manufacturer: Calor-
Emag AG, Germany. Intended Use: Original notice of this resubmitted 
application was published in the Federal Register of December 13, 1993.
    Docket Number: 94-095. Applicant: Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory 
of Columbia University, Route 9W, Palisades, NY 10964. Instrument: High 
Temperature Resistivity Logging Tool. Manufacturer: CSM Associates 
Limited, United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used on 
board a U.S. drill ship to study sedimentary formations in the 
sediments below the ocean floor in areas of extremely high crustal 
temperatures. The tool will be lowered into the borehole to make a 
series of measurements and the data will be transmitted up a conducting 
cable to surface computers. The data will then be analyzed and used to 
produce scientific papers on the sedimentary and rock formations. 
Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: July 21, 1994.
    Docket Number: 94-096. Applicant: Southern Methodist University, 
3225 Daniel Avenue, Dallas, TX 75275-0395. Instrument: IR Mass 
Spectrometer System, Model MAT 252. Manufacturer: Finnigan MAT, 
Germany. Intended Use: The instrument will be used in the analysis of 
whole rocks, minerals, and fluids in order to determine their isotope 
ratios for oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen (and to a lessor extent 
nitrogen) with specific interest in the stable (non-radioactive) 
isotopes of these elements. The major objectives of the research are to 
understand the evolution of the Earth's lithosphere and its fluid 
envelope. In addition, the instrument will be used for educational 
purposes in various geology courses. Application Accepted by 
Commissioner of Customs: July 22, 1994.
