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: 97-086. Applicant: University of Texas at Austin, 
Bellmont 222, Austin, TX 78712. Instrument: 3-D Motion Analysis System, 
Model Vicon 140. Manufacturer: Oxford Metrics, Ltd., United Kingdom. 
Intended Use: The instrument will be used to record and quantify an 
individual's movement performance during a series of experiments on the 
stability of standing balance, control of standing balance during 
threats to balance and the stability and variability of kinematic and 
kinetic variables during walking. These kinds of experiments are done 
with infants and young children, young adults and older adults. In 
addition, the instrument will be used for educational purposes in the 
courses KIN 388 Motor Control Laboratory Techniques and KIN 382 Motor 
Development Assessment in which students will learn the technical 
skills necessary to collect their own data and perform subsequent 
processing and data interpretation. Application accepted by 
Commissioner of Customs: September 19, 1997.
    Docket Number: 97-087. Applicant: Research Foundation of CUNY, 79 
Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10003. Instrument: Stopped-Flow Rapid 
Kinetics Accessory, Model SFA-20. Manufacturer: Hi-Tech Scientific, 
United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument is an accessory used as a 
complement to existing instrumentation, i.e. temperature-jump, 
spectrophotometers and fluorimeters. The phenomena to be investigated 
are rapid substitution reactions of trigonal boron acids. Studies will 
then be extended to complexation reactions of a variety of bidentate 
chelating ligands. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: 
September 22, 1997.
