Application for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instrument

    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 an 
instrument of equivalent scientific value, for the purposes for which 
the instrument shown below is intended to be used, is 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, DC 20230. 
Applications may be examined between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. in Room 4211, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC.
    Docket Number: 01-010. Applicant: University of Colorado, 
Department of MCD Biology, 347 UCB, Boulder, CO 80309-0347.
    Instrument: Electron Microscope, Model Tecnai F20.
    Manufacturer: FEI Company, The Netherlands. Intended Use: The 
instrument is intended to be used for the study of the structure of 
biological materials in three dimensions. Sometimes these will be 
components of cells such as organelles or filaments; sometimes large 
molecules within cells. In addition, the structure of molecules will be 
studied at very high resolution by extracting and preparing them so 
that many copies of the molecule can be imaged at once and these images 
averaged. The goal of these investigations is to achieve a detailed 
understanding of the 3-dimensional structure of some cellular 
component, which in turn can be used to increase the understanding of 
the component.
