Advisory Committee to the Commission
will convene by conference call at 1:00
p.m. (EST) on Thursday, January 30,
2020. The purpose of the meeting is to
discuss next steps regarding the release
of its report on school discipline.
DATES: Thursday, January 30, 2020, at
1:00 p.m. EST
ADDRESSES: Public call-in information:
Conference call-in number: 1–800–353–
6461 and conference call 7996118.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Evelyn Bohor at ero@usccr.gov or by
phone at 202–376–7533.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested
members of the public may listen to the
discussion by calling the following tollfree conference call-in number: 1–800–
353–6461 and conference call 7996118.
Please be advised that before placing

conference call operator will ask callers
to provide their names, their
organizational affiliations (if any), and
email addresses (so that callers may be
notified of future meetings). Callers can
expect to incur charges for calls they
initiate over wireless lines, and the
Commission will not refund any
incurred charges. Callers will incur no
charge for calls they initiate over landline connections to the toll-free

conference call 7996118.
Members of the public are invited to
make statements during the open
comment period of the meeting or
submit written comments. The
comments must be received in the
regional office approximately 30 days
after each scheduled meeting. Written
comments may be mailed to the Eastern
Regional Office, U.S. Commission on
Civil Rights, 1331 Pennsylvania
Avenue, Suite 1150, Washington, DC

Application(s) 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, as amended by Pub. L. 106–
36; 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 postmarked on or before February 12,
2020. Address written comments to
Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room
3720, U.S. Department of Commerce,
Washington, DC 20230. Applications
may be examined between 8:30 a.m. and
5:00 p.m. at the U.S. Department of
Commerce in Room 3720.
Docket Number: 19–012. Applicant:
University of Minnesota, 116 Union
Street SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455.
Instrument: Photomultiplier tube.
Manufacturer: Hainan Zhanchuange
Photonics Technology, China. Intended
Use: The instrument will be used to
study the properties of neutrino
oscillation. Neutrinos are very hard to
detect and require several thousand
tonnes of target material to have any

chance of seeing the neutrino
interactions. The CHIPS detector is a
pilot project which aims to reduce the
cost of neutrino experimentation by
around a factor of fifty. This is done by
reducing the structural engineering and
installing the detector in a lake, where
students can exploit the buoyancy of the
used materials. Photomultipliers are
highly sensitive light detectors able to
detect light at the single photon level;
these will be installed in a large 25
meter diameter cylindrical detector
filled with water. This experiment is
built employing several physics
graduate students and provides work
experience for many physics and
engineering undergraduates.
Justification for Duty-Free Entry: There
are no instruments of the same general
category manufactured in the United
States. Application accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: June 28,
2019.
