A–570–131 and C–570–132: Twist Ties From China Requestor: Essential Ribbons, Inc. The twist tie component of twist ties attached with bows are covered by the orders. Commerce determined the twist tie component was within the scope of the orders based on an analysis under19 CFR 351.225(k)(3). First, Commerce examined the merchandise as a whole and found it had multiple components because it was described as having two pieces with different functions and the pieces were either not attached or attached by a single stitch. Then Commerce examined the twist tie component and found it was explicitly covered by the scope in both function and physical description. Finally, Commerce examined if the inclusion of the twist tie with the attachable bow resulted in an exclusion of the scope inquiry merchandise from the scope of the orders. Since there is no exclusion for a twist tie that is a component of merchandise that has a bow, Commerce found the twist tie was not excluded from the orders. The twist tie component of twist ties attached with bows is, therefore, covered by the scope of the orders; November 27, 2023.

L. 89–651, as amended by Pub. L. 106–36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR part 301). On March 22, 2024, 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, 89FR20426–27, (Notice). We received no public comments regarding the instruments in docket numbers: 24–001; 24–002; 24– 005; 24–007. We did receive comments, from SRI International, regarding the instruments in docket numbers: 24–003; 24–004; 24–006; and 24–008. Comments: In its comments regarding the instruments in docket numbers: 24– 003; 24–004; 24–006; and 24–008, SRI International claims that currently, no domestic manufacturer offers an off-theshelf or custom-made item of equivalent scientific value. Decision: Approved. We know of no instrument of equivalent scientific value to the foreign instrument 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. Docket Number: 24–001. Applicant: Fermi Research Alliance, P.O. Box 500, Batavia, IL 60510. Instrument: Helium Refrigeration/Liquification Plant and accompanying accessories. Manufacturer: Air Liquide, France. Intended Use: The PIP II linear PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 47897 accelerator will provide unparalleled achievement in particle acceleration. These accelerated particles will be born at the FNAL site in Batavia, IL and accelerated via the PIP II linear accelerator through the Earth approximately 900 miles west into the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) located in Lead, SD, to discover whether neutrinos violate the fundamental matter-antimatter symmetry of physics. The design, research, development, and results from the construction and use of the PIP II Linear Accelerator will be the subject of high energy physics and physics engineering courses at dozens of domestic and international institutions of higher education. No specific course titles are available at this time, but the information will be extensively discussed and challenged at college and university classrooms for years to come. Docket Number: 24–002. Applicant: Washington University in St. Louis, One Brookings Drive, St. Louis, MO 63130– 4899. Instrument: Two-Dimensional Material Metallographic Microscopic Transfer System. Manufacturer: HIGH HOPE ZHONGDING CORPORATION, China. Intended Use: The instrument is intended to be used for all general twodimensional (2D) materials like graphene, molybdenum sulfide, black phosphorus, 2D magnetic et al., to perform a comprehensive set of optical experiments aimed at elucidating optical and magnetic properties of superlattices based on 2D materials et al. The main objective is to create new quantum materials as designed, to study exotic quantum states, which is crucial for the evolution of optical, electronic and information technologies of the future. This transfer stage is particularly developed for cutting-edge technology in the fabrication and manipulation of two-dimensional materials, which is crucial for researchers in these fields. Docket Number: 24–003. Applicant: University of Colorado JILA Department, Campus Box 440 UCB, JILA Building, Room S/175, Boulder, CO 80309. Instrument: Narrow Linewidth Laser. Manufacturer: Shanghai Precilasers Technology Co, Ltd., China. Intended Use: The instrument will be intended to be used for Quantum simulation using Lithium atoms in a cryogenic environment. Ultracold Lithium atoms will be used for studies of the Fermi-Hubbard model, which are an ideal platform for such studies due to their broadly tunable interactions with Feshbach resonances. Observation will determine whether low temperature phases of the Fermi-Hubbard model can be revealed by performing our experiments within a cryogenically E:\FR\FM\04JNN1.SGM 04JNN1
