    This decision is made 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

    Docket Number: 94-142. Applicant: Kansas State University, 
Manhattan, KS 66506-5501. Instrument: IR Mass Spectrometer System, 
Model 20-20. Manufacturer: Europa Scientific, United Kingdom. Intended 
Use: See notice at 60 FR 442, January 4, 1995.
    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) dual 
isotope capabilities for carbon and nitrogen, (2) trace gas analysis 
for CH4, CO2, N2O and (3) 13C analysis in areas 
currently hindered by limitations on 14C based analysis. The 
National Institutes of Health advises in its memorandum dated March 20, 
1995 that (1) these capabilities are pertinent to the applicant's 
intended purpose and (2) it knows of no domestic instrument or 
apparatus of equivalent scientific value to the foreign instrument for 
the applicant's intended use.
    We know of no other instrument or apparatus of equivalent 
scientific value to the foreign instrument which is being manufactured 
in the United States.
