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: 99-016. Applicant: Purdue University, BRWN/WTHR
Chemistry Building, W. Lafayette, IN 47907-1393. Instrument: ICP Mass
Spectrometer, Model PlasmaQuad 3. Manufacturer: VG Elemental, United
Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument is intended to be used to
chemically characterize samples of geologic materials--both terrestrial
and extraterrestrial--and meteoric water samples. Geologic samples will
be quantified as received (i.e. as solids, either powdered, as polished
slabs or as thin sections) or as solutions, after their acid
dissolution. Water samples will be analyzed without further processing.
In addition, the instrument will be used for educational purposes in
undergraduate research. Application accepted by Commissioner of
Customs: June 16, 1999.
Docket Number: 99-017. Applicant: The Burnham Institute, 10901
North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037. Instrument: Cryo Electron
Microscope, Model Tecnai 12 Twin. Manufacturer: FEI Company, The
Netherlands. Intended Use: The instrument is intended to be used for
training postdoctoral scientists in the use of electron cryo-microscopy
to examine tissue samples during research focusing on image
reconstruction of actin filaments decorated with cytoskeletal proteins.
All the projects will involve electron cryo-microscopy and image
analysis, fitting of crystal structures to the em maps. Application
accepted by Commissioner of Customs: June 18, 1999.
