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: 97-086. Applicant: University of Texas at Austin,
Bellmont 222, Austin, TX 78712. Instrument: 3-D Motion Analysis System,
Model Vicon 140. Manufacturer: Oxford Metrics, Ltd., United Kingdom.
Intended Use: The instrument will be used to record and quantify an
individual's movement performance during a series of experiments on the
stability of standing balance, control of standing balance during
threats to balance and the stability and variability of kinematic and
kinetic variables during walking. These kinds of experiments are done
with infants and young children, young adults and older adults. In
addition, the instrument will be used for educational purposes in the
courses KIN 388 Motor Control Laboratory Techniques and KIN 382 Motor
Development Assessment in which students will learn the technical
skills necessary to collect their own data and perform subsequent
processing and data interpretation. Application accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: September 19, 1997.
Docket Number: 97-087. Applicant: Research Foundation of CUNY, 79
Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10003. Instrument: Stopped-Flow Rapid
Kinetics Accessory, Model SFA-20. Manufacturer: Hi-Tech Scientific,
United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument is an accessory used as a
complement to existing instrumentation, i.e. temperature-jump,
spectrophotometers and fluorimeters. The phenomena to be investigated
are rapid substitution reactions of trigonal boron acids. Studies will
then be extended to complexation reactions of a variety of bidentate
chelating ligands. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs:
September 22, 1997.
