    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: 94-107. Applicant: Brigham Young University, Provo, 
UT 85602. Instrument: Excimer-Pumped Laser System. Manufacturer: 
Lambda-Physik, Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 59 FR 52287, 
October 17, 1994. Reasons: The foreign instrument provides a pulse 
energy of 400 mJ at a frequency of 308 nm and a maximum repetition rate 
of 100 Hz for optimal pumping of both UV and visible dyes.
    Docket Number: 94-110. Applicant: Dartmouth College, Hanover, New 
Hampshire 03755. Instrument: Mass Spectrometer, Model MAT 252. 
Manufacturer: Finnigan MAT, Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 59 FR

level adjustable from 35 to 40 kA instantaneous current and (4) a peak 
let-through current of 80 kA to prevent short circuit peaks to 295 kA.
    The capabilities of each of the foreign instruments described above 
are pertinent to each applicant's intended purposes. We know of no 
instrument or apparatus being manufactured in the United States which 
is of equivalent scientific value to any of the foreign instruments.
