Instruments Ltd., United Kingdom. Intended Use: See notice at 59 FR 
59212, November 16, 1994.
    Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. No instrument of 
equivalent scientific value to the foreign instrument, for such

United States. Reasons: The foreign instrument provides an instrument 
platform that can be towed to depths of 400 m at speeds to 10 knots 
with a dive/climb rate to 2.5 m/second. A university research

pertinent to the applicant's intended purpose and (2) it knows of no 
domestic instrument or apparatus of equivalent scientific value to the 
foreign instrument for the applicant's intended use.
    We know of no other instrument or apparatus of equivalent 
scientific value to the foreign instrument which is being manufactured 
in the United States.
