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

Docket Number: 98-048. Applicant: North Carolina State University,
Purchasing Department, Box 7212, Raleigh, NC 27695. Instrument:
Electron Microscope, Model JEM-2010F. Manufacturer: JEOL Ltd., Japan.
Intended Use: The instrument will be used to study the microstructure
and chemistry of various semiconductors, semiconductor-based
heterostructures, metals, metal alloys, composites, and ceramics
including high-temperature superconductors and relative multilayered
structures. In addition, the instrument will be used for students in
the TEM course MAT 515 where they learn theoretical aspects of electron
microscopy. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: October 1,
1998.
Docket Number: 98-049. Applicant: North Carolina State University,
Purchasing Department, Campus Box 7212, Raleigh, NC 27695-7212.
Instrument: Oxylite Oxygen Monitor, Model 2000. Manufacturer: Oxford
Optonix Ltd., United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used
to measure oxygenation in spontaneous canine and feline tumors, a model
of human cancer. These measurements will be done as part of ongoing
studies of experimental cancer treatment, and the study of tumor
physiology. The instrument will also be used to measure changes in
tumor oxygenation produced by interventions such as breathing toxic
gases or through use of vasoactive agents. The objectives of these
experiments will be to more completely classify the extent of tumor
oxygenation, to relate oxygen concentrations to treatment with
radiation and/or hyperthermia and to assess changes in oxygenation
during treatment. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs:
October 6, 1998.
