    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), we invite comments on the question of whether 
instruments of equivalent scientific value, for the purposes for which 
the instruments shown below are intended to be used, are being 
manufactured in the United States.
    Comments must comply with 15 CFR 301.5(a)(3) and (4) of the 
regulations and be filed within 20 days with the Statutory Import

studies will include by are not limited to the following: (1) analysis 
of membrane biogenesis induced by increased HMG-CoA reductase levels, 
(2) analysis of embryonic and regenerative neural development in 
insects, (3) several studies of 5S RNA-TFIIIA and 42S RNP particles in 
the oocyte, (4) research of extracts from purified germ cells and mouse 
mutants, (5) assessment of mechanisms that coordinate cell cycle 
functions, (6) questions concerning the morphogenesis of glial cells 
and neurons, (7) determination of whether strain non-uniformities arise 
in muscle cells subject to rapid length perturbations, and (8) tracking 
of cells in mitotic specific domains. Application Accepted by

    Docket Number: 95-002. Applicant: Metropolitan Water District of 
Southern California, Water Quality Lab, 700 Moreno Avenue, La Verne, CA 
91750. Instrument: Mass Spectrometer, Model Autospec. Manufacturer: 
Fisons, United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to 
identify unknown organic compounds that are formed at very low 
concentrations in drinking water during disinfection processes and to 
study the precursors that when disinfected form the disinfection by-
products. While the main use of the instrument will be in research 
applications, it will be used periodically for the education and 
training of postdoctoral assistants and undergraduate cooperative-
education students who are working on disinfection by-product studies. 
Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: January 6, 1995.
