651, 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR part 301). Related records can be viewed

    Docket Number: 97-013. Applicant: Norfolk State University, 
Norfolk, VA 23504. Instrument: Q-Band ESR Spectrometer with 
Accessories. Manufacturer: Bruker Instruments Inc., Germany. Intended 
Use: See notice at 62 FR 10543, March 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) A 34 GHz 
Gunn source (Q-Band) with 80 mW power, 60 dB +/-0.2 attenuation, 100 
MHz tuning range and (2) a low temperature Q-Band resonator. A domestic 
spectrometer manufacturer advises 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.
