West Virginia University 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 part 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: 94-075. Applicant: West Virginia University, 
Morgantown, WV 26505-6315. Instrument: Atom/Radical Source, Model 
CARS25. Manufacturer: Oxford Applied Research, United Kingdom. Intended 
Use: See notice at FR 59 34411, July 5, 1994. Reasons: The foreign 
instrument provides atomic nitrogen or hydrogen in appreciable 
quantities while minimizing ion production to decrease formation of 
point defects in the growth and doping of wide band gap semiconductors. 
Advice Received From: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 
August 10, 1994.
    Docket Number: 94-076. Applicant: The Georgia Institute of 
Technology, Atlanta, GA 30322. Instrument: High-Shear Mixing Bleach 
Reactor, Model CRS1015. Manufacturer: CRS Reactor Engineering, Sweden. 
Intended Use: See notice at FR 59 34411, July 5, 1994. Reasons: The 
foreign instrument provides: (1) high shear mixing with medium 
consistency (10 - 25%) pulp samples, (2) precise, programmable control 
of oxygen and ozone pressure and (3) a special impeller for high and 
for low consistency samples. Advice Received From: Forest Service, 
U.S.D.A., August 10, 1994.
    Docket Number: 94-081. Applicant: University of Minnesota, 
Minneapolis, MN 55455. Instrument: Fabry-Perot Interferometer System. 
Manufacturer: JRS Instruments, Switzerland. Intended Use: See notice at 
FR 59 38438, July 28, 1994. Reasons: The foreign instrument provides: 
(1) an active isolation system to minimize vibration, (2) a common 
translation stage to synchronize scanning of the interferometers and 
(3) maximum jitter during scanning at 10.0 nm. Advice Received From: 
National Institute of Standards and Technology, August 22, 1994.
    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Forest Service, 
U.S.D.A. and National Institute of Standards and Technology advise that 
(1) the capabilities of each of the foreign instruments described above 
are pertinent to each applicant's intended purpose and (2) they know of 
no domestic instrument or apparatus of equivalent scientific value for 
the intended use of each instrument.
    We know of no other instrument or apparatus being manufactured in 
the United States which is of equivalent scientific value to any of the 
foreign instruments.
