    Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. No instrument of 
equivalent scientific value to the foreign instrument, for such

horizontal plane with a simultaneous steeper temperature gradient along 
the vertical portion for growth of various oxide single crystals. The 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration advised May 8, 2002 that 
(1) this capability is pertinent to the applicant's intended 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.
