in the United States.
    Docket Number: 94-068. Applicant: University of Illinois at 
Chicago, Chicago, IL 60607-7137. Instrument: Monocular Oculometer for 
the Human Eye. Manufacturer: Devices for Movement Measurements, 
Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 59 FR 31208 June 17, 1994. 
Reasons: The foreign instrument provides: (1) a Bouis design, (2) high 
stability due to a high degree of electronic ( rather than mechanical) 
operation, (3) accuracy to 1/3 deg. of visual angle and (4) a 1000 Hz 
sampling rate. Advice Received From: National Institutes of Health, 
August 30, 1994.
    Docket Number: 94-073. Applicant: The Regents of the University of 
California, Riverside, CA 92521. Instrument: Mass Spectrometer, Model 
MAT 900. Manufacturer: Finnigan MAT, Germany. Intended Use: See notice 
at 59 FR 32418, June 23, 1994. Reasons: The foreign instrument 
provides: (1) capability for atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, 
(2) liquid chromatography at flow rates to 2 ml per minute and (3) 
acquisition times to 0.3 second per decade. Advice Received From: 
National Institutes of Health, August 22, 1994.
    Docket Number: 94-078. Applicant: University of Pittsburgh, 
Pittsburgh, PA 15260. Instrument: Mass Spectrometer, Model VG AutoSpec. 
Manufacturer: Fisons Instruments, United Kingdom. Intended Use: See 
notice at 59 FR 34412, July 5, 1994. Reasons: The foreign instrument 
provides: (1) EBE geometry, (2) mass range to 4500 at 8kV potential, 
(3) resolution to 60 000 and (4) scan rate to 5 per second. Advice 
Received From: National Institutes of Health, August 22, 1994.
    Docket Number: 94-079. Applicant: Argonne National Laboratory, 
Argonne, IL 60439. Instrument: EPR Spectrometer, Model ESP300-E-10-12. 
Manufacturer: Bruker Instruments, Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 
59 FR 34412, July 5, 1994. Reasons: The foreign instrument provides: 
(1) capability for both conventional and time-resolved electron 
paramagnetic measurements and (2) continuous wave EPR resolution of 50 
to 100 ns. Advice Received From: National Institutes of Health, August 
22, 1994.
    National Institutes of Health advises 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.
