Yale School of Medicine; 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: 15-061. Applicant: Yale School of Medicine, New 
Haven, CT 06510. Instrument: SuperK Extreme EXR-20 white light laser. 
Manufacturer: NKT Photonics, Denmark. Intended Use: See notice at 81 FR 
71702, October 18, 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 as an excitation source 
for the study of intracellular processes and structures at super 
resolution. The experiments require a high power pulsed excitation 
source at a wavelength of 590 nm, and minimal after pulse tail and sub 
100 ps pulse width.

    Docket Number: 17-009. Applicant: UChicago Argonne, Lemont, IL 
60439-4873. Instrument: Electron Beams Position Processors. 
Manufacturer: Instrumentation Technologies, Slovenia. Intended Use: See 
notice at 82 FR 34924, July 27, 2017. 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 
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.

    Docket Number: 17-010. Applicant: New Mexico Institute of Mining 
and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801. Instrument: Delay Line Trolley #2 
(DLT2). Manufacturer: University of Cambridge/Cavendish Lab, United 
Kingdom. Intended Use: See notice at 82 FR 34924, July 27, 201. 
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 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.

    Docket Number: 17-011. Applicant: William Marsh Rice University, 
Houston, TX 77005. Instrument: 3D Laser Lithography System. 
Manufacturer: Nanoscribe GmbH, Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 82 
FR 34924, July 27, 2017. 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 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.

    Docket Number: 17-012. Applicant: Lawrence Berkeley National 
Laboratory, 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: Vacuumschemelze GmbH 
& Co., KG, Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 82 FR 34924-25, July 
27, 2017. 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 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.

    Docket Number: 17-013. Applicant: William Marsh Rice University, 
Houston, TX 77005. Instrument: Professional Lab-Device electrospraying/
electrospinning Unit V2.0. Manufacturer: Yflow

Nanotechnology Solutions, Spain. Intended Use: See notice at 82 FR 
34924-25, July 25, 2017. 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 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.
