Applications for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments

    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 
Programs Staff, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230. 
Applications may be examined between 8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. in Room 
4211, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, 
N.W., Washington, D.C.
    Docket Number: 97-038. Applicant: Florida State University, NHMFL, 
1800 E. Dirac Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32310. Instrument: EPR W-Band 
System, Model ELEXSYS. Manufacturer: Bruker Instruments, Germany. 
Intended Use: The article is intended to be used for studies of the 
electron paramagnetic resonance spectra related to the environment of 
unpaired electrons in biological samples (proteins, fat, nucleic acid 
or whole cells). In addition, the instrument will be used for training 
graduate students for research in the courses BSC (biological science) 
5392 ``Graduate Tutorial'' and BSC 5905 ``Dissertation Research.'' 
Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: May 13, 1997.

    Docket Number: 97-040. Applicant: University of Wisconsin, 750 
University Avenue, A. W. Peterson Building, Madison, WI 53706. 
Instrument: Ti:Sapphire Laser, Model MBR-110. Manufacturer: Microlase 
Optical Systems, United Kingdom. Intended Use: The article is intended 
to be used for studies of electron gas-phase atoms and gas-phase 
molecules with emphasis on rare gas atoms and alkali atoms. Experiments 
will be conducted to obtain electron impact cross sections with the 
goals of studying the efficiency of energy transfer in the various 
inelastic processes and understanding the relevant electron-atom and 
electron-molecule interactions. Application accepted by Commissioner of 
Customs: May 20, 1997.
