    Docket Number: 10-043. Applicant: National Superconducting 
Cyclotron Laboratory of Michigan State University. Instrument: Radio 
Frequency Quadropole Accelerator (RFQ). Manufacturer: Institut fur 
Angewandte Physik, Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 75 FR 40775, 
July 14, 2010. Comments: None received. Reasons: Unique characteristics 
of this instrument pertinent for the intended purposes include the 
reachable power and electrode voltage level, simple tuning of rod-
voltage flatness, and simple resonance frequency tuning in order to 
guarantee the required ion beam properties. No other RFQ structure can 
deliver these features in the according frequency range of 80.5 MHz. 
Decision: Approved. We know of no instruments of equivalent scientific 
value to the foreign instrument, for such purposes as this is intended 
to be used and with the unique characteristics described above, that 
was being manufactured in the United States at the time of its order.
