Instruments

    Applications may be examined between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. in Room 
3720, Statutory Import Programs Staff, U.S. Department of Commerce 14th 
and Constitution Ave., NW., Room 2104 Washington, DC 20230.
    Docket Number: 11-041. Applicant: Washington University, 660 South 
Euclid Avenue, Saint Louis, MO 63110-1093. Instrument: Transmission 
electron microscope. Manufacturer: JEOL Ltd., Japan. Intended Use: See 
notice at 76 FR 43263, July 20, 2011.
    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), the Department of 
Commerce and the Department of Homeland Security determine, inter alia, 
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 as well as whether the 
instrument or apparatus is for the exclusive use of the applicant 
institution and is not intended to be used for commercial purposes.
    On August 16, 2011, Washington University officials notified the 
Department that they wished to withdraw the above-referenced 
application for duty-free entry of a scientific instrument. They noted 
that the instrument will be cleared through Customs with duty paid by 
the vendor in order to meet a scheduling requirement. As noted in the 
regulations at section 301.5(g), the Department of Commerce shall 
discontinue processing an application when a request has been made by 
the applicant to withdraw the application. Therefore, the Department of 
Commerce has discontinued the processing of this application, in 
accordance with section 301.5(g) of the regulations. See 15 CFR 
301.5(g).
