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, DC 20230.

School of Pharmacy, CB #7360, Beard Hall, S. Colombia Street, Chapel
Hill, NC 27599. Instrument: Nose Only Inhalation System. Manufacturer:
ADG Developments Ltd., United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument is
intended to be used to evaluate novel therapies for the treatment of
tuberculosis in animal models by delivering aerosols of drug by nose
only exposure to Mycobacterium infected guinea pigs. Application
accepted by Commissioner of Customs: October 28, 1999.
Docket Number: 99-026. Applicant: Boston University, Department of
Biology, 44 Cummington Street, Boston, MA 02215. Instrument: Electron
Microscope, Model JEM-2010. Manufacturer: JEOL Ltd., Japan. Intended
Use: The instrument is intended to be used in the study of the
ultrastructure of biological specimens, especially neurons in the brain
during experiments conducted to determine whether the structure of
neurons is altered under a variety of experimental conditions, such as
different levels of activity or molecular signaling. In addition, the
instrument will be used to investigate the development and maturation
of brain neurons and their synapses to determine how structure and
ultrastructure change with growth and maturation of the organism.
Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: October 28, 1999.
Docket Number: 99-027. Applicant: University of Hawaii, School of
Ocean, Earth Science and Technology, Department of Oceanography, 1000

Counter, Model GM-25-5. Manufacturer: Riso National Laboratory,
Denmark. Intended Use: The instrument is intended to be used for the
measurement of naturally occurring radionuclides in seawater. Various
marine regimes will be sampled at a variety of oceanic depths in order
to estimate the spatial and temporal distribution of radioactive
elements. The instrument will be used during the graduate level course
Ocean 633, Chemical Oceanography Lab Methods to teach oceanographic
laboratory and field analytical techniques. Application accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: November 4, 1999.
