actual experience in the administration
of revolving loan funds and the
preservation of Multi-Family Housing,
with a successful record, for the
following number of full years.
Applicants must have actual experience
in both the administration of revolving
loan funds and the preservation of
Multi-Family Housing in order to
qualify for points under the selection
criteria. If the number of years of
experience differs between the two
types of above listed experience, the
type of experience with the lesser
number of years will be used for the
selection criteria.
(a) At least one but less than three
years—5 points;
(b) At least three but less than five
years—10 points;
(c) At least five but less than 10
years—20 points; or
(d) 10 or more years—30 points.
(4) Administrative. The Administrator
may assign up to 25 additional points to
an application to account for the
following items not adequately covered
by the other priority criteria set out in
this section. The items that will be
considered are the amount of funds
requested in relation to the amount of
need; a particularly successful
affordable housing development record;
a service area with no other PRLF
coverage; a service area with severe
affordable housing problems; a service
area with emergency conditions caused
by a natural disaster; an innovative
proposal; the quality of the proposed
program; economic development plan
from the local community, particularly
a plan prepared as part of a request for
an Empowerment Zone/Enterprise
Community designation; or excellent
utilization of an existing revolving loan
fund program. The Administrator will
document the reasons for the particular
point allocation.
VI. Appeal Process
All adverse determinations regarding
applicant eligibility and the awarding of
points as part of the selection process
are appealable. Instructions on the
appeal process will be provided at the

Notice of Consolidated Decision on
Applications 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. .106–36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR part
301). Related records can be viewed

Room 2104, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th and Constitution Ave,
NW, Washington, D.C.
Comments: None received. Decision:
Approved. We know of no instruments
of equivalent scientific value to the
foreign instruments described below, for
such purposes as each is intended to be
used, that was being manufactured in
the United States at the time of its order.
Docket Number: 08–032. Applicant:
University of Maryland, Institute for
Research in Electronics and Applied
Physics, College Park, MD 20742.
Instrument: Atomic Layer Deposition
System. Manufacturer: Beneq Oy,
Finland. Intended Use: See notice at 73
FR 45209, August 4, 2008. Reasons: This
instrument is able to accommodate a
variety of substrates of dissimilar sizes
and shapes, including medical implants
and flexible integrated circuits. The
instrument also is able to accommodate
3–D samples and has a minimum of six
sources per reactor. These features are
required for the research.

Frm 00012
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
MD 20742. Instrument: Low
Temperature Near Field Confocal
Optical Microscope. Manufacturer:
Nanonics Imaging Ltd, Israel. Intended
Use: See notice at 73 FR 45209, August
4, 2008. Reasons: The instrument has
the following features which are
essential in performing the research:
simultaneous NSOM/AFM/Confocal
imaging, normal force sensing open
system architecture (transmission,
reflection and collection modes),
temperature continuously adjustable
from 8K to 300K, 5x1048 Torr high
vacuum capability, large scanning range
(50µm in the Z direction), fine NSOM
spatial resolution (~50nm), multi–probe
capability for independent pump probe
measurement control, fast temporal
resolution (~300fs).
Docket Number: 08–038. Applicant:
Washington State University, Pullman,
Washington 99164–7040. Instrument:
Piezoelectric Microarray Spotter.
Manufacturer: Scienion AG, Germany.
Intended Use: See notice at 73 FR
45209, August 4, 2008. Reasons: The
instrument has a unique feature which
is a non–contact spotter to avoid
interference from dust and sensitivity to
shifts in relative humidity. Another
essential feature is that the instrument
is able to be used as a liquid handling
robot.
Docket Number: 08–039. Applicant:
University of Michigan–Dearborn,
Dearborn, MI 48128. Instrument: X–Ray
Computer Tomography System.
Manufacturer: Phoenix X–Ray Inc.,
Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 73
FR 45209, August 4, 2008. Reasons: The
instrument has an X–ray tube power
high enough to penetrate metal alloy
specimens which is required for the
research. It also has a relatively high
resolution which is also essential to the
research.
