Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 208 / Friday, October 27, 2006 / Notices
Advice received from the: Air Force
Research Lab.
Docket Number: 06–037. Applicant:
Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT
06459–0170. Instrument:
Micromanipulators and Control System,
Temperature Control and Moveable Top
Plate . Manufacturer: Scientifica, United
Kingdom. Intended Use: See notice at 71
FR 42632, July 27, 2006. Reasons: The
foreign instrument provides sub–micron
precision and stability so as to allow the
manipulators and moveable table to
record neurons electrically in whole–
cell patch–clamp mode, with a heater to
maintain in vivo temperatures. An
electrode can penetrate the neuronal
membrane allowing electrical control of
the neuron. The manipulators, movable
table and heater are computer controlled
to automatically guide the manipulators
back to preset positions. Advice
received from: The National Institutes of
Health.
Docket Number: 06–041. Applicant:
University of Illinois at Chicago,
Chicago, IL 6067–7059. Instrument:
Beam Stabilizing System. Manufacturer:
Laser Laboratorium Gottingen,
Germany. Intended Use: See 71 CFR
42633, July 27, 2006. Reasons: The
instrument is intended to be used with
a KrF Laser in order to improve the
beam quality of the laser, maximizing
the possibility of a uniform beam with
an even wavefront for ultraviolet
operation at 248 nm with extension of
operation into the x–ray range of 0.29
nm for general studies of the interaction
of intense radiation with matter. Advice
received from: The National Institutes of
Health.
Docket Number: 06–044. Applicant:
Columbia University, New York, NY.
Instrument: Ultra–High Vacuum Low
Temperature Scanning Tunneling
Microscope. Manufacturer: Omicron
Nano Technology, Germany. Intended
Use: See 71 FR 42633, July 27, 2006.
Reasons: The foreign instrument
provides:
1. A fully cryogenic STM that is
directly connected to a liquid
helium cryostat at 4 K, with a hold
time of 15 hours before recharging
is necessary
2. Cooling of both sample and tip for
operation and measurement at 4 K
with spatial sample/tip
instrumental drift rates of less than
1 billionth of an inch per hour.
3. Tip manipulation and transfer
inside the ulta–high vacuum
chamber without exposure to
ambient air conditions.
Docket Number: 06–045. Applicant:
Purdue University, Laboratory of
Chemistry, West Lafayette, IN 47907–
2084. Instrument: Nd:YAG Laser/ Dye
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:53 Oct 26, 2006
Jkt 211001
Laser. Manufacturer: InnoLas, Germany.
Intended Use: See notice at 71 FR
42633, July 27, 2006. Reasons: The
foreign instrument provides:
1. Incorporation of both lasers into a
single compact housing, ensuring
that both lasers are properly aligned
and minimizing realignment if they
are moved. The smaller footprint
saves limited laboratory space.
2. Exceptional mechanical and
thermal stability associated with the
laser body being fabricated out of a
single cast–aluminum body
resulting in superior reliability and
an exceptionally stable day–to-day
beam profile with minimal beam
walk for maximal beam overlap
3. The Nd:YAG laser radiates a
600mJ/pulse at 1064 nm, 300mJ/
pulse at 532 nm and 140 mJ/pulse
at 355 nm.
4. Repetition rate of 20 Hz. All nine
of the other Nd:YAG lasers in the
lab operate at 20 Hz making this
rate an absolute requirement for
planned multi–laser experiments.
Advice received from: The National
Institutes of Health.
Docket Number: 06–046. Applicant:
University of Colorado, JILA
Department, Boulder, CO 80309.
Instrument: Nd:YAG Laser, Model SL–
300–20 D . Manufacturer: InnoLas,
Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 71
FR 42633, July 27, 2006 (comparable
case with 06–065). Reasons: The foreign
instrument provides exceptional
stability and reliability to perform
experiments run every day over months
and years. Down time must be minimal.
The laser must be operated in an
environment subject to vibration from
turbomolecular vacuum pumps. The
housing of an InnoLas laser is machined
out of a single, monolithic metal block
and offers superior stability in a
vibrationally harsh environment. The
laser must also operate at a repetition
rate of 20 Hz to be synchronized with
the rest of the experiment and should be
mounted as close as possible to the ion
source for laser safety, making minimal
dimensions of the laser head desirable.
The capabilities of each of the foreign
instruments described above are
pertinent to each applicant’s intended
purpose and we know of no other
instrument or apparatus being
manufactured in the United States
which is of equivalent scientific value to
any of the foreign instruments.

England fisheries in the exclusive
economic zone (EEZ).
Recommendations from this group will
be brought to the full Council for formal
consideration and action, if appropriate.
