University of Colorado, et al., Notice of Consolidated Decision 
on Applications for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments

This is a decision pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Educational, 
Scientific, and Cultural Materials Importation Act of 1966 (Pub. L. 89-
651, as amended by Pub. L.106-36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR part 301). 
Related records can be viewed between 8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. in Room 
2104, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th and Constitution Ave, NW, 
Washington, D.C.
Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. We know of no instruments 
of equivalent scientific value to the foreign instruments described 
below, for such purposes as each is intended to be used, that was being 
manufactured in the United States at the time of its order.
Docket Number: 08-016. Applicant: University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 
80309. Instrument: Three-Channel Digital Radio Vector Field Sensor 
(RVFS). Manufacturer: Swedish Institute of Space Physics, Sweden. 
Intended Use: See notice at 73 FR 30377, May 27, 2008. Reasons: The 
instrument has a capability to work with dipole antennas of two 
different lengths (1 m and 3 m) and a capability to oversample the 
output I&Q data. These specifications enable the instrument to operate 
in both mobile-mount and stationary conditions which is essential to 
the intended use.
Docket Number: 08-017. Applicant: City College of the City University 
of New York, New York, NY 10031. Instrument: Ultrabroadband Ti:Sapphire 
Laser Model Rainbow-DFG. Manufacturer: Femtolasers, Inc., Austria. 
Intended Use: See notice at 73 FR 30377, May 27, 2008. Reasons: The 
instrument can generate optical pulses of less than 7 femtoseconds 
which is fundamental to the intended use. The amplifier system will be 
coupled with a 6 femtosecond laser and streak camera system to provide 
high spatial, high temporal and high spectral resolution for 
characterization, tunneling and carrier/phonon dynamics studies for 
nanoscale semiconductor quantum structures and devices.
