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 
instruments of equivalent scientific value, for the purposes for which 
the instruments shown below are intended to be used, are 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 Suite

    Docket Number: 02-044. Applicant: Dartmouth College, 6015 McNutt, 
Room 104, Hanover, NH 03755. Instrument: Electron Microscope, Model 
JEM-1010. Manufacturer: JEOL Ltd., Japan. Intended Use: The instrument 
is intended to be used to study the basic principles of chromosome 
movement during cell division. Cells are grown in culture and at 
precise times during the cell cycle they are chemically fixed and 
embedded in acrylic polymer plastic. The cells are then cut into very 
thin sections and used to examine very fine mechanistic aspects of 
chromosome attachment to the spindle, the structure responsible for 
chromosome movement. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: 
September 27, 2002.
    Docket Number: 02-046. Applicant: Brandeis University, Rosenstiel 
Research Center (MS-029), 415 South Street, Waltham, MA 02454-9114. 
Instrument: Electron Microscope, Model Tecnai F30 TWIN. Manufacturer: 
FEI Company, The Netherlands. Intended Use: The instrument is intended 
to be used to study biological assemblies of proteins and collect 
images of these complexes which are then analyzed by computer to 
determine three-dimensional structures. Electron scattering and image 
formation will also be studied. Application accepted by Commissioner of 
Customs: October 31, 2002.
