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: 97-059. Applicant: University of Connecticut, School
of Pharmacy, 372 Fairfield Road, Storrs, CT 06269-2092. Instrument:
Interfacial Rheometer, Model CIR-100. Manufacturer: Camtel Ltd., United
Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to investigate the
interfacial rheology of proteins, surfactants and other surface active
agents and determine their film strength. These investigations will be
conducted in order (1) to obtain a clear understanding
[[Page 42237]]
of the role of interfacial rheology in emulsion and microcapsule
stability and protein denaturation; (2) to determine conditions and
identify substances that will result in the formation of more stable
emulsions and microcapsules; and (3) to identify conditions that result
in protein denaturation, molecular unfolding, competition between
molecules for the interfacial space and conditions that protect against
protein denaturation. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs:
July 10, 1997.
Docket Number: 97-061. Applicant: Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution, 360 Woods Hole Road, Woods Hole, MA 02543. Instrument: IR
Mass Spectrometer, Model DELTAplus. Manufacturer: Finnigan,
Germany. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to study the
production of organic material by marine algae, the consumption of that
material within the oceanic water column and the fate of the residual
organic matter arriving at the seafloor. Specifically, the instrument
will be used to measure the abundances of the stable isotopes of
carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen. Application accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: July 16, 1997.
Docket Number: 97-063. Applicant: University of Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign, Purchasing Division, 506 South Wright Street, 207 Henry
Administration Building, Urbana, IL 61801. Instrument: (2) Gas
Composition Analyzers, Model Epison III. Manufacturer: Thomas Swan &
Co. Ltd., United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to
study the electronic and optical properties of Indium-containing
semiconductor compounds and their use in microelectronic and
optoelectron devices. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs:
July 16, 1997.
