Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum (‘‘Decision
Memorandum’’) from Lynn Fischer Fox,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy &
Negotiations, to Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, dated concurrently
with this notice, which is hereby
adopted by this notice. The issues
discussed in the Decision Memorandum
include the likelihood of continuation
or recurrence of dumping, the
magnitude of the margin of dumping
likely to prevail if the suspended
investigation were terminated, and
whether to disregard Ventura’s
response. Parties can find a complete
discussion of all issues raised in this
sunset review and the corresponding
recommendations in this public
memorandum, which is on file
electronically via Import
Administration’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (‘‘IA
ACCESS’’). Access to IA ACCESS is
available to registered users at https://
iaaccess.trade.gov/ and in the Central
Records Unit (‘‘CRU’’), Room 7046 of
the main Department of Commerce
building. In addition, a complete
version of the Decision Memorandum
can be accessed directly on the Internet
at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper
copy and electronic version of the
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Final Results of Review
Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and (3)
of the Act, the Department determines
that termination of the suspended
antidumping duty investigation on

This is a decision pursuant to Section

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 in
conjunction with the Panoramic Survey
Telescope & Rapid Response System
(Pan-STARRS), to discover and
characterize Earth-approaching objects,
both asteroids and comets that might
pose a danger to the Earth, as well as a
wide range of other research areas of
astronomy. Critical performance
characteristics include the ability to
detect objects much fainter than has
hitherto been possible with sufficient
resolution to measure both the position
and brightness level to the required
precision, that the instrument be
sufficiently robust and reliable that it
can carry out continuous observations
without direct human supervision
under both benign and harsh
meteorological observing conditions,
and servicing and maintenance that can
be performed as quickly as possible to
minimize system down time. The heat
released by the electrical/electronic
components cannot have an impact on
the system point spread function that
exceeds a combined total of 0.1
arcseconds. Other key features that were
not proposed by domestic vendors
include the use of 36 actuators to
control the shape of the telescope’s
primary mirror, active cooling of the
mechanical structure containing the
primary mirror, design and performance
analysis of the structures holding the
telescope secondary mirror in position,
the mechanical design and performance
analysis of the telescope ‘‘truss’’, active
cooling of the motors that move the
telescope, additional performance
margin of the telescope motors to
provide additional power and torque in
the presence of high motor loads, and
the serviceability of several key
telescope components that traditionally
are both prone to failure and hard to get
at, as well as allowing the removal of
extremely difficult components.

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
analyze neural circuits employing
principally bioimaging,
electrophysiology and genetic
approaches to understand visual
perception and the organization of the
visual cortex, synapse physiology and
mechanisms of synaptic signaling and
computation, the molecular
mechanisms of synaptic function, the
cellular organization of cortical circuit
function, and the digital anatomy of the
brain. To precisely identify synaptic
contacts between neurons and
distinguish between overlapping
processes or actual synaptic contacts
requires high resolution imaging with
an Electron Microscope (EM) including
3D reconstruction of each process and
its surroundings. Furthermore,
relatively large volumes of brain should
be imaged to cover the entire region and
profile even for a single neuron. The
instrument allows automatic imaging of
multiple regions of interest on the
sample and stage montaging for large
fields of view, and a cutting thickness
down to 15 nm.

27186, May 9, 2013. 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
make extremely high-resolution images
of a diverse range of astronomical
objects. The images made using the
instrument will allow a variety of
astrophysical processes in the target
objects to be investigated, such as
protostellar accretion, disk clearing as
evidence for planet formation, jest,
outflows and magnetically channeled
accretion, and the detection of substellar companions. In order to obtain
interference fringes the path lengths
traveled by the light from celestial
objects via the telescopes to the point
where interference takes place must be
equalized to a few microns. The extra
path (delay) that must be inserted varies
continuously as the Earth rotates, and
depends on the location of the target in
the sky. The instrument is used within
the Magdalena Ridge Observatory
Interferometer to equalize these path

lengths—one trolley for each
telescope—by acting as a continuously
movable retro-reflector. For most of the
sky to be accessible, a delay range
approximately equal to the longest intertelescope separation must be available,
requiring an unprecedented monolithic
delay line length of almost 200 m. The
need to accommodate 350 m baselines
places a unique combination of
requirements on the delay lines and
hence the Delay Line Trolleys that run
within them.

Instrument: Two-Photon Laser Scanning
Microscope. Manufacturer: Femtonics
Ltd., Hungary. Intended Use: See notice
at 78 FR 27186–27187, May 9, 2013.
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
examine the connectivity and functional
computations performed by individual
neurons in the primary visual cortex of
tree shrews, as well as to study the
population mechanisms responsible for
rapid development of direction
selectivity in the ferret primary visual
cortex. Experiments will include in vivo
two-photon microscopy experiments
that examine the response properties of
neurons, two-photon imaging in the
dendritic tree of single neurons to
monitor dendritic inputs and integration
as evoked by visual stimuli, and twophoton imaging in the visual cortex to
monitor how large populations of cells
develop into a coherent circuit that
capably detects directional movement in
a visual space. The instrument is unique
in that it allows for fast, random-access
two-photon imaging in three
dimensions. The experiments depend
on this fast 3D scanning to capture
sufficient data from the dendrites of a
single neuron or large numbers of cells
in a neuronal population. The
instrument’s capabilities are achieved
through the use of acousto-optical
deflectors in x-, y-, and z-axes and are
unmatched by galvanometric scanning
systems that are bounded by inertial
constraints.

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 resolve
whether changes in intracellular ion
activity are circadian in nature, identify
the underlying mechanisms for stem
cell regeneration in damaged tissue, and
examine the regulatory mechanisms for
metabolic activity in yeast. The
microscopic imaging will be used to
investigate cellular properties of mice,
zebrafish, planaria, yeast, and
paramecium, as well as to analyze the
absorption and fluorescence of ceramic
optical material. Intracellular ion
movement requires fluorescent confocal
and FRET imaging. The fate-mapping of
the stem cells requires fast fluorescent
scanning provided by the instrument.
