scientific educational uses requiring a
CTEM. We know of no CTEM, or any
other instrument suited to these
purposes, which was being
manufactured in the United States
either at the time of order of each
instrument OR at the time of receipt of
application by U.S. Customs and Border
Protection.

Applications 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; 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 filed within 20 days with the
Statutory Import Programs Staff, U.S.
Department of Commerce, Washington,
D.C. 20230. Applications may be
examined between 8:30 A.M. and 5:00
P.M. in Suite 4100W, U.S. Department
of Commerce, Franklin Court Building,
1099 14th Street, NW, Washington, D.C.
Docket Number: 05–052. Applicant:
University of Texas, Medical Branch at
Galveston, 301 University Boulevard,
Galveston, TX 77555. Instrument:
Electron Microscope, Model JEM–2100.
Manufacturer: JEOL Ltd., Japan.
Intended Use: The instrument is
intended to be used to determine high–
resolution, three dimensional structures
of large biological entities such as
protein, DNA, and RNA assemblies,
cellular organelles, and tissues and to
develop electron tomography to obtain
structures of asymmetrical assemblies
and of whole cells or large organelles. It
will also be used to train graduate
students and post–doctoral scientists in
macromolecular structure determination
and electron microscopy. Application
accepted by Commissioner of Customs:
December 1, 2005.
Docket Number: 05–053. Applicant:

Jkt 208001
Jones Bridge Road, Chevy Chase, MD
20815–6789. Instrument: Electron
Microscope, Model Techni G2 F20
TWIN. Manufacturer: FEI Company, The
Netherlands. Intended Use: The
instrument is intended to be used for
studying the structural analysis of
biological complexes that makes them
cellular units of function, and the
structural bases for regulating such
complexes including structural
characterization of microtubules and
their interaction with cellular factors
and antimitotic ligands, transcription
initiation and regulation, and the
molecular machinery involved in
transcription–coupled DNA repair. It
will also be used for undergraduate and
graduate research. Application accepted
by Commissioner of Customs: December
7, 2005.
Docket Number: 05–054. Applicant:
University of Illinois, Suite 212 Tech
Plaza, 616 East Green Street,
Champaign, IL 61820. Instrument:
Curved Image Plate Detector.
Manufacturer: Technische Universitat
Darmstadt, Germany. Intended Use: The
instrument is intended to be used to
develop a fast, high-resolution, x–ray
powder diffraction apparatus using a
beamline facility at the Advanced
Photon Source of Argonne National
Laboratory. It will be employed to study
in–situ, high temperature (to 2000
degrees C) material properties and
behavior of ceramics and ceramic
composites including phase
transformation mechanisms (e.g.,
martensitic), the kinetics of phase
transformations and the chemical
reactions of binary and ternary mixtures
of ceramic materials, and phase
equilibria and phase diagrams with the
general goal of developing tougher and
stronger high temperature structural
composites. Application accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: December 7,
2005.
Docket Number: 05–055. Applicant:
Rutgers, The State University of New
Jersey, 3 Rutgers Plaza, New Brunswick,
NJ 08901–88559. Instrument: Near–field
Optical Microscope for integration with
micro–Raman. Manufacturer: Nanonics
Imaging Ltd., Israel. Intended Use: The
instrument is intended to be used to
image the structure and map the
chemistry of example nanostructured
materials (such as silicon wafers)in a
variety of undergraduate laboratory
courses involving nanomaterials.
Application accepted by Commissioner
of Customs: December 9, 2005.
DOCKET NUMBER: 05–056. Applicant:
University of Illinois at Chicago,
Department of Physics (m/c 273), 845

7059. Instrument: Magnesium Fluoride
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
77145
Windows. Manufacturer: Laser–
Laboratorium, Gottingen, Germany.
Intended Use: The instrument is
intended to be used to provide
amplification of a light beam to a power
above 10 to the 12th W for studies
including the following:
1. Measuring fragments such as ions and
photons of materials irradiated directly
with an intense ultraviolet beam
2. Determining the energy flow and the
nature of secondary radiation produced
3. Instrumental control of the focus,
thereby maximizing the intensity at
which such experiments can be
conducted
4. Studying absorption and excitation.
The instrument will also be used for
instruction of graduate students.
