DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
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: 94-075. Applicant: West Virginia University, Physics
Department, G-30 Hodges Hall, Morgantown, WV 26505-6315. Instrument:
Atom/Radical Source, Model CARS25. Manufacturer: Oxford Applied
Research, United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used in
research concerning the formation of point defects during molecular
beam epitaxy growth and doping of wide band gap semiconductors.
Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: May 27, 1994.
Docket Number: 94-076. Applicant: The Georgia Institute of
Technology, 225 North Avenue, NW, Atlanta, GA 30322. Instrument: High-
Shear Mixing Bleach Reactor, Model CRS1015. Manufacturer: CRS Reactor
Engineering, Sweden. Intended Use: The instrument will be used in a
study to develop novel bleaching technologies, such as ECF and TCF
processes, other than traditional chlorine processes. The instrument
will be used for educational and research purposes mostly by graduate
students seeking advance degrees. Application Accepted by Commissioner
of Customs: May 31, 1994.
Docket Number: 94-077. Applicant: The Ohio State University,
Aeronautical & Astronautical Research Laboratory, 2300 West Case Road,
Columbus, OH 43235. Instrument: High Power, High Pressure Arc Discharge
Plasma Source System. Manufacturer: Institute of Problems of
Electrophysics, CIS. Intended Use: The instrument will be used for
research that involves the determination of arc discharge mode, energy
and power transfer efficiencies, electrode and insulator damage and
wear. The experiments will be conducted for various gases over a range
of initial pressures and currents and will involve electrical, pressure
transducer and optical measurements. In addition, the instrument will
contribute to educational objectives by providing the basis for student
thesis research and design projects, and by challenging students with
problems related to their coursework. Application Accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: June 3, 1994.
Docket Number: 94-078. Applicant: University of Pittsburgh,
Chemistry Department, 350 Thackeray Hall, Pittsburgh, PA 15260.
Instrument: Mass Spectrometer, Model VG AutoSpec. Manufacturer: Fisons
Instruments, United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used
to produce mass spectra of a wide variety of unique synthetic products
and intermediate compounds (natural products, organic substrates for
enzyme interaction, vitamin derivatives, and novel synthetic products)
in the support of various research programs. The instrument will also
be used to investigate the mechanisms of bombardment induced gas-phase
ion chemistry and will involve the designing of additives to a FAB
matrix that will induce specific chemical reactions within the mass
spectrometer. In addition, the instrument will be used for educational
purposes in the course Chemistry 2700 Graduate Research. Application
Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: June 3, 1994.
Docket Number: 94-079. Applicant: Argonne National Laboratory, 9700
South Cass Avenue, Argonne, IL 60439. Instrument: EPR Spectrometer,
Model ESP300-E-10-12. Manufacturer: Bruker Instruments, Germany.
Intended Use: The instrument will be used to study photo-induced charge
separation in natural photosynthetic and model photosynthetic systems.
The experiments to be conducted will be both conventional electron
paramagnetic resonance experiments on stable radicals and time-resolved
electron paramagnetic resonance. Application Accepted by Commissioner
of Customs: June 3, 1994.
Docket Number: 94-080. Applicant: University of California, Los
Alamos National Laboratory, P.O. Box 990, Los Alamos, NM 87545.
Instrument: Electron Microscope, Model JEM 2010. Manufacturer: JEOL
Ltd., Japan. Intended Use: The instrument will be used for the study of
liquid crystal polymers and thermosets. Experiments will be performed
on a variety of liquid crystalline materials to investigate the effect
of different preparation schemes on the structure and the resulting
properties. Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: June 7,
1994.
