Application(s) for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments
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), we invite comments
on the question of 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.
Comments must comply with 15 CFR 301.5(a)(3) and (4) of the
regulations and be postmarked on or before September 9, 2019. Address
written comments to Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room 3720, U.S.
Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230. Applications may be
examined between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the U.S. Department of
Commerce in Room 3720.
Docket Number: 19-002. Applicant: University of Chicago Argonne
LLC, Operator of Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 South Cass Avenue,
Lemont, IL 60439-4873. Instrument: S1-S3 magnets. Manufacturer:
Danfysik, Denmark. Intended Use: The instrument(s) are the components
of a 4th generation synchrotron accelerator, i.e., the Advanced Photon
Source Upgrade (APSU) accelerator, one of the most technologically
complex machines in the world. APSU is a non-profit research facility
which provides ultra-bright, high-energy x-ray beams to more than 5000
(and growing) scientists from across the United States. These
scientists come from universities, medical schools, and other research
institutions. Their research covers nearly every scientific discipline,
from materials science to biology, chemistry, environmental, geological
and planetary science and fundamental physics. APS provide x-ray beams
of a broad parameters that allow them to collect data in unprecedented
detail and in amazingly short time frames. According to the applicant,
the research results achieved through APS will make real and positive
impact on our technologies, health, economy and fundamental
understanding of the materials that make up our world. Justification
for Duty-Free Entry: There are no instruments of the same general
category manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: April 2, 2019.
Docket Number: 19-003. Applicant: University of Chicago Argonne
LLC, Operator of Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 South Cass Avenue,
Lemont, IL 60439-4873. Instrument: Canted Undulator Front-End Fixed
Masks and Photon Shutters. Manufacturer: Strumenti Scientific CINEL
S.R.L., Italy. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to assemble
the new canted undulator front ends for the Advanced Photon Source
upgrade. The front end consists of a series of components that connect
the storage ring to the user beamline in order to deliver a photon beam
that will be used as a three-dimensional X-ray microscope for
experimental purposes. The properties of the materials studied include
but are not limited to grain structure, grain boundary and interstitial
defects and morphology. These properties are not only studied at
ambient environments but also under high pressure, temperature, stress
and strain. The objective is to further the understanding of different
materials and material properties. Justification for Duty-Free Entry:
There are no instruments of the same general category manufactured in
the United States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs:
April 3, 2019.
Docket Number: 19-004. Applicant: University of Chicago Argonne
LLC., Operatory of Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 South Cass Avenue,
Lemont, IL 60439-4873. Instrument: Unipolar polar supplies.
Manufacturer: Danfysik, Denmark. Intended Use: The instrument is part
of a complex machine to be used for basic research that provides a very
stable and filtered direct current (DC) to power electromagnet to bend,
focus and correct electrons particle (e-) in a multi bend achromat
(MBA) storage ring (SR). The nominal current varies from 100 A to 300A
and the required stability and ripple is better than 10 parts per
million (<10 ppm). The equipment should comply with APS safety
standards and mechanical dimensions to be installed in existing racks.
According to the applicant, APS-U is approaching a new era in science
and engineering, one that promises a revolutionary understanding of
complex materials and chemical processes across the entire hierarchy of
lengthscales and timescales. This understanding demands that we move
beyond exploration of equilibrium phenomena and beyond models based on
idealized materials and systems, to be able to create new states and
achieve extraordinary new functions. The improvements in photon beam
[[Page 42890]]
properties, combined with rapid, ongoing advances in x-ray optics,
insertion devices, detectors, computing and theory will make it
possible for researchers at x-ray light sources to explore a new
landscape of scientific problems that previously were completely
inaccessible. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: There are no
instruments of the same general category manufactured in the United
States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: April 5, 2019.
Docket Number: 19-006. Applicant: University of Chicago Argonne
LLC, Operatory of Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 South Cass Avenue,
Lemont, IL 60439-4873. Instrument: Q4 and Q5 magnets. Manufacturer:
Danfysik, Denmark. Intended Use: The instrument(s) are the components
of a 4th generation synchrotron accelerator, i.e., the Advanced Photon
Source Upgrade (APSU) accelerator, one of the most technologically
complex machines in the world. APSU is an non-profit research facility,
that will provide ultra-bright, high-energy x-ray beams to more than

science and fundamental physics. APS provide x-ray beams of a broad
parameters that allow them to collect data in unprecedented detail and
in amazingly short time frames. According to the applicant, the
research results achieved will constantly make real and positive impact
on our technologies, health, economy and fundamental understanding of
the materials that make up our world. Justification for Duty-Free
Entry: There are no instruments of the same general category
manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by Commissioner
of Customs: April 8, 2019.
Docket Number: 19-007. Applicant: University of Chicago Argonne
LLC, Operator of Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 South Cass Avenue,
Lemont, IL 60439-4873. Instrument: Fixed Masks, Photon Shutters, Grid
Masks. Manufacturer: Strumenti Scientific CINEL S.R.L., Italy. Intended
Use: The instrument and components will be used to assemble the new
high heat load front ends for the Advanced Photon Source upgrade. The

ring to the user beamline to deliver a photon beam that will be used as
a three-dimensional X-ray microscope for experimental purposes. The
materials/phenomena studied vary from material properties analysis,
protein mapping for pharmaceutical companies, X-ray imaging and
chemical composition, but are not limited to grain structure, grain
boundary and interstitial defects and morphology under high pressure,
temperature, stress and strain. Justification for Duty-Free Entry:

Docket Number: 19-009. Applicant: Fermi Research Alliance (FRA),
Kirk & Pine Street, Batavia, IL 60510. Instrument: Linac Coherent Light
Source II (LCLS-II) cryomodules' vacuum vessels. Manufacturer: Wuxi
Creative Technologies Company, Ltd., WXCX, China. Intended Use: The
instrument will be used to study scientific research including the
studies of elementary particles. Each vessel is assembled with other
components to form a CW cryomodule. The Vessel is a cylindrical vacuum
shell that the cold mass upper assembly (``Assembly'') is inserted
into. The Vessel provides the insulating vacuum and other necessary
conditions to cool down and operate the cryomodules in the LCLS-II
upgrade. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: There are no instruments of
the same general category manufactured in the United States.
