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 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 Subsections 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: 94-085. Applicant: University of Missouri-Kansas
City, 5100 Rockhill Road, Kansas City, MO 64110. Instrument: X-Ray
Photoelectron Spectrometer, Model MI201. Manufacturer: Kratos
Analytical, United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used
to study biological materials related to restorative dentistry and
implants. These include synthetic hydroxy apatites, bio-polymers,
composites, hydroxy apatite coatings, dentin, enamel and bone. The
experiments are designed to provide surface chemical information of
native surfaces or after modification through the use of etchants,
polymers, or lasers. Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs:
July 8, 1994.
Docket Number: 94-086. Applicant: University of Illinois at
Chicago, Department of Chemistry, 845 W Taylor Street, Rm 4500,
Chicago, IL 60607-7061. Instrument: Excimer Pumped Dye Laser, Model
SCANMATE. Manufacturer: Lambda Physik, Germany. Intended Use: The
instrument will be used to detect small gas phase molecules such as
hydrogen (H2) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) in a molecular beam,
using the technique of multiphoton ionization. In addition, the
instrument will be used in the course Chemical Research, Chemistry 599
by graduate students pursuing masters and doctoral degrees in
chemistry. Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: July 8,
1994.
Docket Number: 94-088. Applicant: University of Hawaii at Manoa,

96822. Instrument: Portable Cholorphyll Fluorometer, Model PAM-2000.
Manufacturer: Heinz Walz GmbH, Germany. Intended Use: The instrument
will be used to make chlorophyll fluorescence determinations to
discover the photosynthetic efficiency of vegetable crops which have
been treated with methanol sprays to increase their productivity.
Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: July 8, 1994.
Docket Number: 94-089. Applicant: University of California, Los
Alamos National Laboratory, P.O. Box 990, Los Alamos, NM 87545.
Instrument: Field Emission Electron Microscope with Accessories, Model
JEM-3000F. Manufacturer: JEOL Ltd., Japan. Intended Use: The instrument
will be used for determining the structure and chemistry of interfaces,
grain boundaries, dislocations and other defects in ceramics,
intermetallics, composites, superconductors and semiconductors by high
resolution phase contrast imaging as a function of defocus. Application
Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: July 11, 1994.
