    Applications 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; 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 filed within 20 days with the Statutory Import 
    Programs Staff, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230. 
    Applications may be examined between 8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. in Room 
    4211, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, 
    N.W., Washington, D.C.
        Docket Number: 94-154. Applicant: University of Hawaii, School of 
    Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, Department of Geology & 
    Geophysics, 2525 Correa Road, Honolulu, HI 96822. Instrument: ICP Mass 
    Spectrometer, Model PlasmaQuad. Manufacturer: Fisons Instruments, 
    United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used for the 
    determination of elemental abundances and isotopic ratios in a variety 
    of solid and fluid samples. The instrument is essential for continuing 
    and new studies in the general fields of: 1) mid-ocean ridge processes, 
    2) processes in active back-arc basins and island arcs, 3) mantle 
    plumes and hotspots, 4) deep interior of the Earth, 5) extraterrestrial 
    materials 6) marine mineral deposits, 7) marine particulates and 
    sediments, 8) atmospheric particulates and sediment trap material, 9) 
    hydrothermal processes and 10) Ocean Drilling Program related research. 
    In addition, the instrument will be used [[Page 5166]] for various 
    educational purposes such as teaching the theory of operation and 
    standard analytical practices and for other curriculum courses. 
    Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: December 29, 1994.
        Docket Number: 95-001. Applicant: Beckman Research Institute of the 
    City of Hope, Division of Immunology, 1450 East Duarte Road, Duarte, CA 
    91010. Instrument: Mass Spectrometer, Model MAT 900. Manufacturer: 
    Finnigan MAT, Germany. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to 
    characterize macromolecular structures, principally peptides and 
    proteins, isolated in small quantities from biological systems. There 
    is also a limited need for the accurate mass analysis of small organic 
    molecules with sufficient resolution and mass accuracy to define 
    elemental composition. Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: 
    January 4, 1995.
