    Docket Number: 94-106. Applicant: Texas A&M Research Foundation, 
College Station, TX 77843-3578. Instrument: Two Fluorometers and 
Accessories, Model AquatrackA MK III. Manufacturer: Chelsea 
Instruments, United Kingdom. Intended Use: See notice at 59 FR 52287, 
October 17, 1994.
    Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. No instrument of 
equivalent scientific value to the foreign instrument, for such 
purposes as it is intended to be used, is being manufactured in the 
United States. Reasons: The foreign instrument provides: (1) a 
logarithmic scale to permit chlorophyll measurements over 5 orders of 
magnitude variation without recalibration, (2) a low power requirement 
(250 mA) for battery operation and (3) deployability in seawater.
    This capability is pertinent to the applicant's intended purposes 
and we know of no other instrument or apparatus of equivalent 
scientific value to the foreign instrument which is being manufactured 
in the United States.
