Lafayette College; Notice of Decision on Application for Duty-
Free Entry of Scientific Instruments

    This is a decision 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). 
Related records can be viewed between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. in Room 
3720, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th and Constitution Ave NW., 
Washington, DC.
    Docket Number: 16-020. Applicant: Lafayette College, Easton, PA 
18042. Instrument: High Power Q-Switched Diode-Pumped Solid State 
Laser. Manufacturer: EdgeWave GMBH, Germany. Intended Use: See notice 
at 81 FR 89434, December 12, 2016. Comments: None received. Decision: 
Approved. We know of no instruments of equivalent scientific value to 
the foreign instruments described below, for such purposes as this is 
intended to be used, that was being manufactured in the United States 
at the time of order. Reasons: The instrument will be used to study 
time-dependent finite chemical rate and mixing effects in turbulent 
combustion and the investigation of coherent structures in turbulent 
boundary layers. The instrument is approximately 10 times more powerful 
than any other high-repetition diode-pumped solid state available from 
a U.S. manufacturer. Techniques to be performed include Planar Laser 
Induced Fluorescence imaging, exploiting the high-repetition rate and 
tenability features of the instrument.

    Dated: March 31, 2017.
