    Docket Number: 96-122. Applicant: University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 
Lincoln, NE 68588-0304. Instrument: Diamond Anvil Cells, Model Diacell. 
Manufacturer: Diacell, United Kingdom. Intended Use: See notice at 62 
FR 979, January 7, 1997.
    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) high 
pressure capability to 750 kbar, (2) metal membrane drive for precise 
control and (3) hemispherically movable diamond cups for superior 
alignment. A domestic manufacturer of similar equipment advised on 
February 3, 1997 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.
