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 August 16, 2017. 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: 17-009. Applicant: UChicago Argonne, 9700 South Cass 
Avenue, Lemont, IL 60439-4873. Instrument: Electron Beams Position 
Processors. Manufacturer: Instrumentation Technologies, Slovenia. 
Intended Use: The instrument will be used to measure the precise 
position of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) storage ring electron beam 
with resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers from DC to 1000 kHz. It can 
also turn by turn position to the 1 micrometer level for fast 271 kHz 
(the turn by turn rate) beam position measurement, without which the 
required vertical beam stability of 400 nm will not be met. The 
instrument also has a daisy chain capability to accumulate and send all 
data from several bpm processors to the fast-orbit-feedback processor, 
without which data cannot be sent at 32 bpms to the local fast-orbit 
feedback processors at the same time. 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 4, 2017.
    Docket Number: 17-010. Applicant: New Mexico Institute of Mining 
and Technology, 801 Leroy Place, Socorro, NM 87801. Instrument: 
DelayLine Trolley #2 (DLT2). Manufacturer: University of Cambridge/
Cavendish Lab, United Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument will be 
flexure-mounted and voice-coil actuated on a motorized wheeled carriage 
inside each delay line pipe of the Magdalena Ridge Observatory 
Interferometer. The instrument's unique specifications include a 
wavelength of operation that covers both the visible and near infrared, 
between 600 nm and 2400 nm, and a limiting group-delay tracking 
limiting magnitude of H=14 to allow observations of extragalactic 
targets while tracking on the science object rather than a nearby 
reference star. 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 1, 2017.
    Docket Number: 17-011. Applicant: William Marsh Rice University, 
6100 Main St., Houston, TX 77005. Instrument: 3D Laser Lithography 
System. Manufacturer: Nanoscribe GmbH, Germany. Intended Use: The 
instrument will be used to prepare materials for investigations of the 
mechanical, optical, electronic, and thermal properties of substrates 
for cell culture growth to better understand cancer propagation and 
tumors,

mechanical trusses with nanoscale structure to create and study light, 
strong composite materials and metal structures to understand and 
control optical properties of materials in new ways. The distinctive 
feature of the instrument is its computer control integrated with both 
sample-stage motion in three dimensions with nano-resolution, and 
longer-distance scanning mirror technology to cover large (hundreds of 
microns) distances quickly. 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 8, 
2017.
    Docket Number: 17-012. Applicant: Lawrence Berkeley National 
Laboratory, One Cyclotron Road, M/S 971-PROC, Berkeley, CA 94720. 
Instrument: Custom undulator magnetic system mfg'd. to LBNL spec. for 
an accelerator research facility; (1) 1st article & (21) production 
units. Manufacturer: Vacuumschmelze GmbH & Co. KG, Germany. Intended 
Use: The instrument will be used as a core component of a free-
electron-laser which produces x-rays for scientific discovery. To reach 
sufficiently high magnetic field values (1.3 Tesla) the instrument 
requires magnets with maximum field energy and poles with the highest 
saturation fields. 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 26, 2017.
    Docket Number: 17-013. Applicant: William March Rice University, 
6100 Main St., Houston, TX 77005. Instrument: Professional Lab-Device 
electrospraying/electrospinning Unit V2.0. Manufacturer: Yflow 
Nanotechnology Solutions, Spain. Intended Use: The instrument will be 
used to prepare samples and materials for experiments. The 
electrospinning and electrospraying capabilities of this instrument 
will allow studies of the mechanical, biodegradation, optical, 
architectural, drug elution, biocompatibility, and cell metabolism 
among other such properties as materials for basic science and 
engineering research. The instrument is unique in its capabilities to 
control climate, jet diameter, micro-droplet production, fibered core-
shell capsule production, core-shell capsules, and co/multi-axial 
designs. 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 23, 2017.
