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.

Department of Commerce shall discontinue processing an application when 
a request has been made by the applicant to withdraw the application.
