    This decision is made pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Educational,

    Docket Number: 95-030. Applicant: University of Pennsylvania,

and Compressor-Vacuum-Unit, Model OM/4. Manufacturer: Heinrich 
Burghart, Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 60 FR 29826, June 6, 
1995.
    Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. No instrument of 
equivalent scientific value to the foreign instrument, for such

United States. Reasons: The foreign instrument provides: (1) filtered

duration between 50ms and infinity, and (3) thermostabilized odorant 
flow with manual or external triggering. The National Institutes of 
Health advises in its memorandum dated July 11, 1995 that (1) these 
capabilities are pertinent to the applicant's intended purpose and (2) 
it knows of no domestic instrument or apparatus of equivalent 
scientific value to the foreign instrument for the applicant's intended 
use.
    We know of no other instrument or apparatus of equivalent 
scientific value to the foreign instrument which is being manufactured 
in the United States.
