Application(s) 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, as amended 
by Pub. L. 106-36; 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 postmarked on or before June 13, 2016. Address 
written comments to Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room 3720, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230. Applications may be 
examined between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the U.S. Department of 
Commerce in Room 3720.
    Docket Number: 15-051. Applicant: Iowa State University of Science 
and Technology, 211 TASF, Ames, IA 50011-3020. Instrument: Electron 
Microscope. Manufacturer: FEI, Co., Czech Republic and Great Britain. 
Intended Use: The instrument will be used to perform microstructure 
examination, compositional analysis and orientation analysis on 
materials such as metals, compounds, alloys, oxides and organic 
materials. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: There are no instruments 
of the same general category manufactured in the United States. 
Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: April 13, 2016.
    Docket Number: 15-055. Applicant: Rutgers University, 136 
Frelinghuysen Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854. Instrument: Optical Floating 
Zone Furnace. Manufacturer: Crystal Systems Corporation, Japan. 
Intended Use: The instrument will be used to grow high quality bulk 
single crystals of a variety of complex quantum materials including 
multiferroics, ferroelectrics and low-symmetry magnets. Research 
projects will include the duality between FR and PUA states in 
hexagonal manganites, the duality between Ising triangular 
antiferromagnetism and improper ferroelectricity in hexagonal systems, 
the domains and domain walls in other polar or chiral magnets, the 
domains and domain walls in new hybrid improper ferroelectrics, the 
domains and domain walls in metastable phases at the phase boundaries, 
and magnetic skyrmion in non-centrosymmetric magnets. The instrument is 
equipped with 5 high power (1000 W in total) continuous wavelength 
laser diodes as a heating source. Five lasers ensure temperature 
homogeneity along the azimuthal direction around the crystal rod to be 
greater than 95%. The maximum temperature gradient along the growth 
direction is greater than 150 degrees Celsius/mm. Crystal growth can go 
from extremely stable and slow growth to very rapid quenching mode, 
0.01 to 300 mm/h. This enables the growth of incongruently melting and 
highly evaporating materials. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: There 
are no instruments of the same general category manufactured in the 
United States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: April 
29, 2016.
    Docket Number: 15-058. Applicant: UChicago Argonne, 9700 South Cass 
Avenue, Lemont, IL 60439-4873. Instrument: IEX ARPES Cryo-Manipulator. 
Manufacturer: Omnivac, Hansjoerg Ruppender, Germany. Intended Use: The 
instrument will be used to cool and position single crystal and thin 
film samples in an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) 
chamber. ARPES is used to map the electronic band structure of 
material. Samples include high-temperature superconductors, graphene, 
and other low dimensional materials, metals and complex oxides. The 
instrument's unique features include ultra-high vacuum compatible, six-
axes of motion with a specified range x: +/- 10mm, 1[micro]m, +/- 
0.05[micro]m, y: +/- 10mm, 1[micro]m, +/- 0.05[micro]m, z: 300mm, 
1[micro]m, +/- 0.05[micro]m, polar rotation: 360 degrees, 0.005 
degrees, 0.0001 degrees, flip rotation: -15/+60 degrees, .1 degree, 
0.05 degrees, azimuthal rotation: +/-90 degrees, .1 degree, 0.05 
degrees, a low base temperature of 5.5K and high vibrational stability 
(motion at the sample < 500 nm). Justification for

Duty-Free Entry: There are no instruments of the same general category 
manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by Commissioner 
of Customs: March 2, 2016.
    Docket Number: 16-003. Applicant: Oregon Health & Science 
University, 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road, Portland, OR 97239. 
Instrument: Electron Microscope. Manufacturer: FEI Company, the 
Netherlands. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to study how 
genomic features in model systems and humans encode the molecular, 
cellular and tissue structures that comprise normal and diseased 
tissues and apply the resulting information to improve management of 
human diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, 
immunodeficiency and dementia. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: There 
are no instruments of the same general category manufactured in the 
United States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: April 
15, 2016.
    Docket Number: 16-006. Applicant: Texas Southwestern Medical 
Center, 5323 Harry Hinos Blvd., Dallas, TX 75390. Instrument: Electron 
Microscope. Manufacturer: FEI Company, the Netherlands. Intended Use: 
The instrument will be used to learn how imaged proteins and molecules 
perform their cellular functions, which can be used to understand cases 
where these proteins and molecules malfunction and cause disease, such 
as cancer. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: There are no instruments 
of the same general category manufactured in the United States. 
Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: May 6, 2016.
    Docket Number: 16-009. Applicant: Stanford University, 299 Campus 
Drive West, Stanford, CA 94305-5126. Instrument: Electron Microscope. 
Manufacturer: FEI Company, Netherlands. Intended Use: The instrument 
will be used to determine the structures of proteins and protein 
complexes to atomic (3.5 angstroms+) or near atomic (10 angstroms+) 
resolution. Determining the structures to such high resolution will 
give insight into the basic biology of systems such as tissue samples, 
whole cells and purified proteins. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: 
There are no instruments of the same general category manufactured in 
the United States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: 
March 2, 2016.
