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 5:00 p.m. in Room 
4211, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC.
    Docket Number: 01-013. Applicant: Stanford University, Department 
of Biological Sciences, Herrin Labs 80, Off Serra Street, Stanford, CA 
94305-5020. Instrument: Electron Microscope, Model JEM-1230. 
Manufacturer: JEOL Ltd., Japan.
    Intended Use: The instrument is intended to be used to carry out a 
variety of research projects which might include:
    1. Ultrastructural studies of cultured hippocampal neurons to 
identify morphological features of synapse formation,

[[Page 33233]]

    2. Immuno-labeling studies of various molecules involved in synapse 
formation between hippocampal neurons,
    3. Analysis of the spatial and temporal regulatory circuitry that 
controls the bacterial cell cycle,
    4. Comparative studies of mutant and wild type Drosophila (fruit 
fly) larvae to identify the role of genes in anatomical features,
    5. Immuno-electron microscopy to visualize cellular protein 
locations in submicron levels in various cell types,
    6. Morphological detection of bacterial surface pili, which are 
virulence factors in many bacterial pathogens,
    7. Studies of structural changes in wild type, mutant, and non-
virulent cells as they progress through the cell cycle,
    8. EM analysis of cellular changes in non-virulent and pathogenic 
organisms, and
    9. Immuno-localization and structural studies of the budding yeast 
Saccharomyces cerevisiae to identify yeast structures and proteins.
    Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: June 8, 2001.
