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: 95-067. Applicant: The Salk Institute for Biological
Studies, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037. Instrument:
DIP-2000 Imaging Plate X-ray Diffraction Image Processor with Kappa-
goniometer and SRA M18XHF Rotating Anode X-ray Generator. Manufacturer:
MAC Science Co., Ltd., Japan. Intended Use: The instrument will be used
to collect X-ray diffraction data from crystals made with biological
macromolecules such as signal transduction, ion conductance, and
protein-DNA recognition during the study of proteins such as transducin
from bovine eye and potassium channels from rat kidney. Application
Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: August 1, 1995.
Docket Number: 95-068. Applicant: University of California,
Department of Nutritional Sciences, 119 Morgan Hall, Berkeley, CA
94720-3104. Instrument: Mass Spectrometer, Model JMS-AX505WA.
Manufacturer: JEOL, Japan. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to
measure isotope incorporation levels in different metabolites during
studies of glucose, fat and protein metabolism in animals and humans.
Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: August 1, 1995.
Docket Number: 95-069. Applicant: Saint Barnabas Medical Center, 94
Old Short Hills Road, Livingston, NJ 07039. Instrument: Electron
Microscope, Model JEM-1210. Manufacturer: JEOL, Japan. Intended Use:
The instrument will be used in several research projects to study
ultrastructural features of biomedical research specimens from
experimental animals, cultured cells and various tissues from patients
with pathological disorders. In addition, the instrument will be used
to train pathology residents in the application of the electron
microscope. Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: August 1,
1995.
Docket Number: 95-070. Applicant: Rutgers, The State University,

Instrument: Cryogenic Cooling System. Manufacturer: Oxford Cryosystems,
United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used for X-ray
crystallographic studies of proteins with the objective of solving the
atomic structure of a subject protein. The instrument will also be used
to teach undergraduate courses in crystallography in which students
will be trained in the skills necessary to the analysis of protein
crystal by means of X-ray Diffraction. Application Accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: August 4, 1995.
Docket Number: 95-071. Applicant: Colorado State University,
Natural
[[Page 48506]]
Resource Ecology Lab, NESB Building, Fort Collins, CO 80523.
Instrument: Mass Spectrometer, Model OPTIMA. Manufacturer: VG - Fisons,
United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to measure
the isotopic abundance of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen in
plant, soil and air samples in experiments ranging from field studies
to laboratory analysis. In addition, the instrument will be used in the
course Physiological Plant Ecology and Isotope Biogeochemistry to
examine plant and soil processes that modify isotope fractionation.
Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: August 4, 1995.
