Decision on Application for Duty-Free
Entry of Scientific Instruments; Rice
University, et. al
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. L. 106–36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR
part 301). On October 19, 2020, the
Department of Commerce published a
notice in the Federal Register
requesting public comment on whether
instruments of equivalent scientific
value, for the purposes for which the
instruments identified in the docket(s)
below are intended to be used, are being
manufactured in the United States. See
Application(s) for Duty-Free Entry of
Scientific Instruments, 85 FR 66305,
October 19, 2020 (Notice). We received
no public comments. Related records
can be viewed through prior
arrangement with Ms. Dianne Hanshaw
at Dianne.Hanshaw@trade.gov.
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: See Notice at 85
FR 66305, October 19, 2020. 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 were being manufactured in the
United States at the time of order.
Reasons: 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

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 were
being manufactured in the United States
at the time of order. Reasons: According
to the applicant, the instrument will be
used to conduct research in the broad
areas of material research, thin-film
metal semiconductors, biomicrofluidics, 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.

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 were
being manufactured in the United States
at the time of order. Reasons: According
to the applicant, the instrument will be
used to study precision measurement
for the particle beam position in the
Advanced Photon Source Upgrade
storage ring. The measurement
information is used to steer the particle
beam and photon beam that will be used
as a three-dimensional X-ray
microscope for experimental purposes.
The materials/phenomena include
material properties analysis, protein
mapping for pharmaceutical companies,
X-ray imaging and chemical
composition determination and many
others, but are not limited to grain
structure, grain boundary and
interstitial defects and morphology.
These properties are not only studied at
ambient environments, but also under

canted undulator front ends for the
Advanced Photon Source upgrade. The
front end consists of a series of
components that connect the storage
ring to the user beamline in order to
deliver a photon beam that will be used
as a three-dimensional X-ray

From the People’s Republic of China:
Continuation of the Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Orders

International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) and the International Trade
Commission (ITC) have determined that
revocation of the antidumping duty
(AD) and the countervailing duty (CVD)
orders on certain oil country tubular
goods (OCTG) from the People’s
Republic of China (China) would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping, countervailable subsidies, and
material injury to an industry in the
United States. Therefore, Commerce is
publishing a notice of continuation of
the AD and CVD orders.
DATES: Applicable December 3, 2020.

year (sunset) reviews of the AD and
CVD orders on OCTG from China,3
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As
a result of its reviews, Commerce
determined that revocation of the
Orders on OCTG from China would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence
of dumping and countervailable
subsidies. Therefore, Commerce notified
the ITC of the magnitude of the margins
of dumping and the subsidy rates likely
to prevail should the Orders be revoked,
pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and
752(b) and (c) of the Act.4
On November 27, 2020, the ITC
published its determination that
revocation of the Orders on OCTG from
China would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act.5
Scope of the Orders
The scope of these orders consists of
certain OCTG, which are hollow steel
products of circular cross-section,
including oil well casing and tubing, of
iron (other than cast iron) or steel (both
carbon and alloy), whether seamless or
welded, regardless of end finish (e.g.,
whether or not plain end, threaded, or
threaded and coupled) whether or not
conforming to American Petroleum
Institute (API) or non-API
specifications, whether finished
(including limited service OCTG
products) or unfinished (including
green tubes and limited service OCTG
products), whether or not thread
protectors are attached. The scope of
these orders also covers OCTG coupling
stock. Excluded from the scope of these
orders are casing or tubing containing
10.5 percent or more by weight of
chromium; drill pipe; unattached
couplings; and unattached thread
protectors.
The merchandise covered by these
orders is currently classified in the
