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,

    Docket Number: 97-073. Applicant: Research Foundation of The City 
University of New York, 79 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10003. 
Instrument: Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer, EMX Series. 
Manufacturer: Bruker Instruments, Germany. Intended Use: The instrument 
will be used for studies of Lithium-transition metal insertion 
compounds; prefluorinated polymers prepared by chemical or radiation 
crosslinking. Investigations will be conducted to determine the 
correlation between EPR spectroscopic parameters and electrical 
properties of the materials, the goal of which is to better understand 
the atomic/molecular level processes associated with electrical 
conductivity. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: August 
21, 1997.

    Docket Number: 97-074. Applicant: Case Western Reserve University, 
School of Medicine, Department of Biochemistry, 10900 Euclid Avenue, 
Cleveland, OH 44106. Instrument: Stopped-Flow Spectrometer, Model 
SX.18MV. Manufacturer: Applied Photophysics Ltd., United Kingdom. 
Intended Use: The instrument will be used to investigate the kinetics 
of the interaction between biological macromolecules and ligands in 
experiments conducted to: (1) Monitor the interaction between RNA 
polymerase and double stranded DNA, (2) monitor the interaction of 
cinnamoyl-CoA substrates with enoyl-CoA hydratase and (3) monitor the 
interaction of transcription factors with ribosomes. Application 
accepted by Commissioner of Customs: August 22, 1997.
