Fermi Research Alliance, et al.; Notice of Decision on 
Application 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 
3720, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th and Constitution Ave, NW, 
Washington, DC.
    Docket Number: 17-014. Applicant: Fermi Research Alliance, Batavia, 
IL 60510. Instrument: ICARUS T600 Detector. Manufacturer: The European 
Organization for Nuclear Research, Switzerland. Intended Use: See 
notice at 82 FR 57212, December 4, 2017. Comments: None received. 
Decision: Approved. We know of no instruments of equivalent scientific 
value to the foreign instruments described below, for such purposes as 
this is intended to be used, that was being manufactured in the United 
States at the time of order. Reasons: The instrument will be used to 
study the rate at which muon neutrinos, a type of elementary particle, 
change flavor to electron neutrinos as they travel the distance between 
three LArTPC detectors. This is the only instrument that meets the 
requirements for position and time resolution of particle trajectories.
    Docket Number: 17-015. Applicant: New Mexico Institute of Mining 
and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801. Instrument: Unit Telescope Enclosure 
#1 (UTE1). Manufacturer: European Industrial Engineering (EIE) Group, 
Italy. Intended Use: See notice at 82 FR 57212, December 4, 2017. 
Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. We know of no instruments 
of equivalent scientific value to the foreign instruments described 
below, for such purposes as this is intended to be used, that was being 
manufactured in the United States at the time of order. Reasons: The 
instrument will be used to study star and planet formation, active 
galactic nuclei and stellar accretion and mass loss. Unique features of 
the instrument include access to all astronomical objects above 30 
degrees in elevation, with an inner axis rotation angle between +40 
degrees and -50 degrees, as well as thermal stability and protection 
from shock load and vibration.
    Docket Number: 17-016. Applicant: Yale University, New Haven, CT 
06520. Instrument: Mosquito crystal robot. Manufacturer: TTP Labtech, 
United Kingdom. Intended Use: See notice at 82 FR 57212-13, December 4, 
2017. Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. We know of no 
instruments of equivalent scientific value to the foreign instruments 
described below, for such purposes as this is intended to be used, that 
was being manufactured in the United States at the time of order. 
Reasons: The instrument will be used to obtain crystals of the 
biological macromolecule with and without its binding partner(s). 
Unique features of the instrument include disposable tips, which are 
essential to avoid cross contamination.
    Docket Number: 17-018. Applicant: Brookhaven National Laboratory, 
Upton, NY 11973. Instrument: Solid State Klystron Modulator. 
Manufacturer: Scandinova Systems AB, Sweden. Intended Use: See notice 
at 82 FR 57213, December 4, 2017. Comments: None received. Decision: 
Approved. We know of no instruments of equivalent scientific value to 
the foreign

instruments described below, for such purposes as this is intended to 
be used, that was being manufactured in the United States at the time 
of order. Reasons: The instrument will be used to study the 
magnetization, structure and conductivity of various organic and 
inorganic specimens such as proteins, ferrite, and superconducting 
materials. This is the only instrument with specific electrical socket 
to connect to the klystron, a solenoid magnet with magnetic field 
contours specific to the Model E37302A.
