West Virginia University et al.; Notice of Consolidated Decision
on Applications for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments
This is a decision consolidated 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). Related records can be
viewed between 8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. in Room 4211, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.
Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. No instrument of
equivalent scientific value to the foreign instruments described below,
for such purposes as each is intended to be used, is being manufactured
in the United States.
Docket Number: 94-075. Applicant: West Virginia University,
Morgantown, WV 26505-6315. Instrument: Atom/Radical Source, Model
CARS25. Manufacturer: Oxford Applied Research, United Kingdom. Intended
Use: See notice at FR 59 34411, July 5, 1994. Reasons: The foreign
instrument provides atomic nitrogen or hydrogen in appreciable
quantities while minimizing ion production to decrease formation of
point defects in the growth and doping of wide band gap semiconductors.
Advice Received From: National Aeronautics and Space Administration,
August 10, 1994.
Docket Number: 94-076. Applicant: The Georgia Institute of
Technology, Atlanta, GA 30322. Instrument: High-Shear Mixing Bleach
Reactor, Model CRS1015. Manufacturer: CRS Reactor Engineering, Sweden.
Intended Use: See notice at FR 59 34411, July 5, 1994. Reasons: The
foreign instrument provides: (1) high shear mixing with medium
consistency (10 - 25%) pulp samples, (2) precise, programmable control
of oxygen and ozone pressure and (3) a special impeller for high and
for low consistency samples. Advice Received From: Forest Service,
U.S.D.A., August 10, 1994.
Docket Number: 94-081. Applicant: University of Minnesota,
Minneapolis, MN 55455. Instrument: Fabry-Perot Interferometer System.
Manufacturer: JRS Instruments, Switzerland. Intended Use: See notice at
FR 59 38438, July 28, 1994. Reasons: The foreign instrument provides:
(1) an active isolation system to minimize vibration, (2) a common
translation stage to synchronize scanning of the interferometers and
(3) maximum jitter during scanning at 10.0 nm. Advice Received From:
National Institute of Standards and Technology, August 22, 1994.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Forest Service,
U.S.D.A. and National Institute of Standards and Technology advise that
(1) the capabilities of each of the foreign instruments described above
are pertinent to each applicant's intended purpose and (2) they know of
no domestic instrument or apparatus of equivalent scientific value for
the intended use of each instrument.
We know of no other instrument or apparatus being manufactured in
the United States which is of equivalent scientific value to any of the
foreign instruments.
