Request for Comments Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden (including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information collection; they also will become a matter of public record. Dated: March 16, 2010. Gwellnar Banks, Management Analyst, Office of the Chief Information Officer. Docket Number: 10–004. Applicant: State University of New York College at Geneseo, Erwin Hall 218, 1 College Circle, Geneseo, NY 14454. Instrument: MultiView 2000TS Microscope System. Manufacturer: Nanonics Imaging Ltd., Israel. Intended Use: This instrument will be used, among other things, to study the folding structure of A–beta proteins around nanostructures. This instrument combines an optical microscope with a scanning probe imaging system. Specifically, this instrument can perform near–field scanning optical microscopy. A pertinent feature of this instrument is the ability to switch between scanning the tip and the sample stage. It is also well suited for soft materials than other instruments, as it detects the probe coming close to the sample surface by monitoring a frequency shift in a nano– tuning fork. Other unique features include the ability to use conventional AFM type silicon cantilevers as well as cantilevered optical fiber probes with exposed probe geometry, providing normal force sensing; the capability to image side walls with an exposed tip glass AFM probe and the ability to image in both NSOM and AFM with AC operating modes. Justification for Duty– Free Entry: No instruments of same general category are believed to be manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: March 10, 2010.

Applicant: West Virginia University, One Waterfront Place, PO Box 6024, Morgantown, WV 26506. Instrument: Electron Microscope. Manufacturer: JEOL, Japan. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to study the microstructure and chemistry of a variety of metallic, ceramic and semiconductor materials. This instrument is capable of imaging crystal structure and defects from the micron to atomic scale using TEM and HREM. A unique feature of this instrument is an analytical pole piece for high resolution work while maintaining high tilting capability. Justification for Duty–Free Entry: There are no domestic manufacturers of this type of electron microscope. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: December 17, 2009. Docket Number: 10–003. Applicant: St. Lawrence University, 23 Romoda Drive, Canton, NY 13617. Instrument: Electron Microscope. Manufacturer: FEI, Czech Republic. Intended Use: This instrument will be used in the advanced study of diverse fields such as geochemistry, sedimentology and neurophysiology. This instrument has several SE detectors that are optimized for use in high–vacuum, low–vacuum and ultra–low vacuum environments and can be freely switched between these three modes. This allows for the investigation of conductive, non– conductive and high vacuum incompatible specimens. Justification for Duty–Free Entry: No instruments of same general category are manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: March 3, 2010.
