Reasons: The foreign instrument provides capability for measurements in 
a magnetic field up to 6.0 tesla at temperatures down to 0.015 deg. K 
with field uniformity to 0.15% in a 1.0 cm3 central region. 
A domestic manufacturer of similar equipment advised March 14, 2001

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.
