The University of Georgia, 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: 94-092. Applicant: The University of Georgia, 
Athens, GA 30602. Instrument: Motion Analysis System, Model ELITEPLUS. 
Manufacturer: Bioengineering Technology and Systems, Italy. Intended 
Use: See notice at 59 FR 46963, September 13, 1994. Reasons: The 
foreign instrument provides: (1) accuracy of 0.1 mm at 280 mm field of 
view and (2) compatibility with the 100 Hz data collection rate of 
Salira proprietary software. Advice Received From: National Institutes 
of Health, September 29, 1994.
    Docket Number: 94-095. Applicant: Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory 
of Columbia University, Palisades, NY 10964. Instrument: High 
Temperature Resistivity Logging Tool. Manufacturer: CSM Associates 
Limited, United Kingdom. Intended Use: See notice at 59 FR 48420, 
September 21, 1994. Reasons: The foreign instrument provides 
measurement of: (1) sediment resistivity, (2) fluid conductivity and 
(3) temperative in ocean borehole environments to 350 deg. C at 
pressures to 100 Mpa. Advice Received From: Los Alamos National 
Laboratory, October 26, 1994.
    Docket Number: 94-097. Applicant: University of Vermont, 
Burlington, VT 05405. Instrument: Cardiac Monitor, Model Leycom Sigma 
5-DF. Manufacturer: Cardio Dynamics, The Netherlands. Intended Use: See 
notice at 59 FR 49644, September 29, 1994. Reasons: The foreign 
instrument provides: (1) continuous measurement of ventricular blood 
volume by means of a conductance catheter and (3) a new 12-electrode 
dual field operating mode. Advice Received From: National Institutes of 
Health, September 29, 1994 .
    Docket Number: 94-101. Applicant: Stanford University, Stanford, CA 
94306. Instrument: Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction System, 
Model EK-2035-R. Manufacturer: Staib Instrumente, Germany. Intended 
Use: See notice at 59 FR 49645, September 29, 1994. Reasons: The 
foreign instrument provides: (1) high beam energy (35 kev), (2) 
differential pumping for operation at pressures as high as 10-2 
mbar and (3) beam blanking at 200 Hz to minimize damage to grown 
materials. Advice Received From: National Institute of Standards and 
Technology, June 7, 1994 (Comparable Case).
    National Institutes of Health, Los Alamos National Laboratory 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.
