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 November 9, 2020. Address written comments to Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room 3720, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230.

Docket Number: 20–003. Applicant: Rice University, Department of Microengineering, 6100 Main Street, Houston, TX 77030. Instrument: Ultrasonic Linear Piezo Stage and Controller. Manufacturer: Xeryon, Belgium. Intended Use: According to the applicant, the instrument will be used to study automatic and large-scale surgical implantation of nanoelectrode threads into rodent and primate brains. Specifically, a platform is developed that can insert 8 ultraflexible nanoelectrode threads (uNETs) into the brain simultaneously and independently, while each insertion site is flexibly defined by the surgeons’ and researchers’ need and can be precisely researched by micromanipulators. Successful development of this technology will significantly reduce the time, errors and tissue trauma during brain surgery, meanwhile, it will open opportunities such as slow-speed insertion, flexibly targeting multiple regions and large-scale neural recordings. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: According to the applicant, there are no instruments of the same general category manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: July 31, 2020. Docket Number: 20–004. Applicant: Texas A&M University, AgriLife Research, 2147 TAMU, College Station, TX 77843–2147. Instrument: 3D Microfabrication System Photonic Professional GT. Manufacturer: Nanoscribe, Germany. Intended Use: According to the applicant, the instrument will be used to conduct research in the broad areas of material research, thin-film metal semiconductors, bio microfluidics, medical devices and optical/photonic devices, to name a few. These physical platforms will manifest in the forms of devices (ranging from 1–200 cm2) that will then be taken to individual laboratories for further experimentation in the aforementioned fields under the guidance and scope of the Texas A&M University research communities. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: rate applies to the following entities: Goodluck India Limited (formerly Good Luck Steel Tubes Limited); Good Luck Steel Tubes Limited Good Luck House; and Good Luck Industries. 7 Tube Investments of India Ltd. is also known as Tube Investments of India Limited. Assessment Rate In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after publication of these final results. Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by Goodluck and TII, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption from September 25, 2017 through December 31, 2018, at the ad valorem rate listed above for each respective company. Cash Deposit Requirements Pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amount indicated above for 2018 for Goodluck and TII, on shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this review. For all nonreviewed firms, CBP will continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the most recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These cash deposit instructions, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction. jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). 5.86 4.27 2018 subsidy rate (percent ad valorem) Notification to Interested Parties VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:05 Oct 16, 2020 Jkt 253001 Dated: October 13, 2020.
