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 filedwithin 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: 97-096. Applicant: Princeton University, Purchasing, P.O. 33, Armory Building, 110 Washington Road, Princeton, NJ 08544- 0033. Instrument: Crystal Growth Furnace, Model FZ-T-10000-HVP-II-P. Manufacturer: Crystal Systems Inc., Japan. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to study the detailed properties of transition metal oxides which undergo metal insulator and magnetic transitions at both the charge transfer and Mott-Hubbard regimes. Spin ladder compounds, another important topic of current research in Materials Physics, will also be investigated through the use of single crystals grown in the floating zone apparatus. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: November 13, 1997.

Docket Number: 97-097. Applicant: North Carolina State University, Campus Box 7212, Raleigh, NC 27695. Instrument: Sample Cartridges for Photoelectron Emission Microscope. Manufacturer: Elmitec, Germany. Intended Use: The instrument is part of an existing photoelectron emission microscope system that will be used to mount and process samples. Specifically, it will allow mounting the sample to the sample manipulator, to a sample, transfer rod, and a sample manipulator in an MBE processing system. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: December 5, 1997.

Docket Number: 97-098. Applicant: University of Vermont, Department of Medicine, Given Building, Burlington, VT 05405. Instrument: Special Laboratory Glass. Manufacturer: Louwers Hapert Glasstechnics BV, The Netherlands. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to assemble tubes which are used in the reduction of water to hydrogen by the zinc reduction method. In this case, the hydrogen released by this method will be analyzed by mass spectrometry to determine the amount of deuterium in each sample. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: December 4, 1997. Frank W. Creel,

Director, Statutory Import Programs Staff.
