Research Foundation of CUNY; Notice of Decision on Application 
for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instrument

    This decision is made 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). Related records can be viewed 
between 8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. in Room 4211, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.
    Docket Number: 97-087. Applicant: Research Foundation of CUNY, New 
York, NY 10003. Instrument: Stopped-Flow Rapid Kinetics Accessory, 
Model SFA-20. Manufacturer: Hi-Tech Scientific, United Kingdom. 
Intended Use: See notice at 62 FR 53594, October 15, 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: This is a compatible accessory for an 
instrument previously imported for the use of the applicant. It 
provides both UV/visible and fluorescence detection of reaction 
kinetics that can be rapidly deployed with a wide variety of 
spectrometers using a plug-in umbilical. This capability is pertinent 
to the applicant's intended purposes and we know of no domestic 
accessory which can be readily adapted to the previously imported 
instrument.
