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 December 26, 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: 17-014. Applicant: Fermi Research Alliance, 2000 
East Wilson Street, Batavia, IL 60510. Instrument: ICARUS T600 
Detector. Manufacturer: The European Organization for Nuclear Research, 
Switzerland. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to study the 
rate at which muon neutrinos, a type of elementary particle, change 
flavor to electron neutrinos as they travel the distance between three 
LArTPC detectors. This is the only instrument that meets the 
requirements for position and time resolution of particle trajectories. 
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: July 12, 2017.

    Docket Number: 17-015. Applicant: New Mexico Institute of Mining 
and Technology, 801 Leroy Place, Socorro, NM 87801. Instrument: Unit 
Telescope Enclosure #1 (UTE1). Manufacturer: European Industrial 
Engineering (EIE) Group, Italy. Intended Use: The instrument will be 
used to study star and planet formation, active galactic nuclei and 
stellar accretion and mass loss. Unique features of the instrument 
include access to all astronomical objects above 30 degrees in 
elevation, with an inner axis rotation angle between +40 degrees and -
50 degrees, as well as thermal stability and protection from shock load 
and vibration. 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: July 24, 2017.

    Docket Number: 17-016. Applicant: Yale University, 333 Cedar 
Street, SHM B323, New Haven, CT 06520. Instrument: Mosquito crystal 
robot. Manufacturer: TTP Labtech, United Kingdom. Intended Use: The 
instrument will be used to obtain crystals of the

biological macromolecule with and without its binding partner(s). 
Unique features of the instrument include disposable tips, which are 
essential to avoid cross contamination. 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: July 25, 2017.

    Docket Number: 17-018. Applicant: Brookhaven National Laboratory, 
P.O. Box 5000, Upton, NY 11973. Instrument: Solid State Klystron 
Modulator. Manufacturer: Scandinova Systems AB, Sweden. Intended Use: 
The instrument will be used to study the magnetization, structure and 
conductivity of various organic and inorganic specimens such as 
proteins, ferrite, and superconducting materials. This is the only 
instrument with specific electrical socket to connect to the klystron, 
a solenoid magnet with magnetic field contours specific to the Model 
E37302A. 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: August 16, 2017.
