by Pub. L. 106-36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR part 301), we

[[Page 31724]]

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 May 15, 2024. Address 
written comments to Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room 41006, U.S.

    Docket Number: 24-009. Applicant: The Regents of the University of 
Michigan, 5082 Wolverine Tower, 3003 South State Street, Ann Arbor, MI 
48109-1287. Instrument: Formula Student Motor and Motor Controllers. 
Manufacturer: AMK Motion GmbH + CoKG, Germany. Intended Use: The 
instrument is intended to be used to teach current engineering students 
at the University of Michigan about vehicle integration, design, and 
dynamics. This is taught to students through participation in the 
national wide intercollegiate Formula SAE competitions. This motor is a 
critical component in the electric powertrain of the vehicle as each 
motor will independently control each wheel of the car. These specific 
motors from AMK allow our team to learn the fundamentals of such a 
process without having to design and manufacture our motors and motor 
controllers, which is a far more expensive, time-consuming, and 
knowledge-heavy process. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: According 
to the applicant, there are no instruments of the same general category 
manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by Commissioner 
of Customs: January 3, 2024.

    Dated: April 19, 2024.

Director, Subsidies and Economic Analysis, Enforcement and Compliance.
