Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 17 / Tuesday, January 28, 2025 / Notices
Commerce postpone the preliminary
determinations in the LTFV
investigations of CORE from Australia,
Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the
Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan,
Türkiye, the UAE, and Vietnam.3 The
petitioners stated, ‘‘{p}ostponement of
the preliminary determinations is
necessary and appropriate given the size
and complexity of these investigations,
the number of participating
respondents, and the numerous
extensions of time received by
respondents to submit responses to
Commerce’s initial questionnaire,’’ and
that the postponement ‘‘will allow
Commerce adequate time to issue
supplemental questionnaires and
develop a comprehensive record in
these investigations.’’ 4
For the reasons stated above, and
because there are no compelling reasons
to deny the request, in accordance with
section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.205(e), Commerce is
postponing the deadline for the
preliminary determinations by 50 days
(i.e., to 190 days after the date on which
these investigations were initiated). As
a result, Commerce will issue its
preliminary determinations in the
above-referenced investigations no later
than April 3, 2025. In accordance with
section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final
determinations of these investigations
will continue to be 75 days after the
date of the preliminary determinations,
unless postponed at a later date.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
Dated: January 21, 2025.

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 18,
2025. Address written comments to

Docket Number: 24–028. Applicant:
Arizona State University, 1711 S Rural
Road, Tempe, AZ 85281. Instrument:
Ultra High Pressure Multi-Anvil
apparatus with DIA module.
Manufacturer: Max Voggenreiter GmbH,
Germany. Intended Use: The instrument
is intended to be used to enable
materials to be processed under a much
wider range of pressure and temperature
than currently available in the United
States. Materials subjected to extreme
pressure (and temperature) undergo
significant changes in shape, bonding
and atomic-scale structure. The goal of
the FORCE Mid-Scale Research
Instrumentation Project is to establish a
Facility for High Pressure Research
located at Arizona State University
(ASU), but accessible to researchers
throughout the U.S., and the rest of the
World, through the acquisition and
implementation of highly specialized
high-pressure instrumentation.
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: August 15,
2024.
Docket Number: 24–034. Applicant:

with a center wavelength of 502.88 nm
and 1 watt of output power. This laser
will couple certain vibrational and
electronic states of the molecule YO,
which is the system under study in our
lab. Currently, we use a 649 nm laser
(also from Precilasers) to couple a
different set of levels. Integrating this
laser into our experiment, we expect a
significant enhancement in the number
of molecules we can trap enabling new
scientific goals. Justification for DutyFree Entry: According to the applicant,
there are no instruments of the same
general category manufactured in the
United States. Application accepted by

Building, Room S/175, Boulder, CO
80309. Instrument: Soft X-ray scientific
CMOS camera. Manufacturer: Fuzhou
Tucsen Photonics, Ltd., China. Intended
Use: According to the applicant, the
instrument is intended to be used as a
low-dose soft X-ray ptychographic
imaging, for biological samples, which
can benefit from an imaging sensor with
high frame rates, low read out noise and
high quantum efficiency. Our current
generation tabletop soft X-ray source is
limited to low flux, further adding to the
need for a high sensitivity X-ray camera.
Most of our current cameras utilize
backside illuminated CCD technology,
which is somewhat limited in all of
those categories. Justification for DutyFree Entry: According to the applicant,
there are no instruments of the same
general category manufactured in the
United States. Application accepted by

Linewidth Fiber Laser. Manufacturer:
Shanghai Precilasers Technology
Company, Ltd., China. Intended Use:
The instrument is intended to be used
for the trapping and controlling chains
of singly ionized barium atoms. The
materials to be investigated are quantum
information aspects associated with the
internal level structure of the atoms and
their quantum mechanical motion.
Studying the efficiency of quantum
algorithms using trapped ion systems
and utilizing trapped ion systems as
precision probes for search of new
physics. Graduate students in the Katz

Instrument: Multi-collector high
resolution inductively-coupled plasma
mass spectrometer with collision cell.
Manufacturer: Nu Instruments, United
Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument
is intended to be used to enhance the
research capabilities of the Earth and
Environmental Sciences department.
Currently planned experiments include
using thallium isotopes and selenium
isotopes to study past ocean oxygen
variations from rock samples, strontium
and calcium isotopes to investigate
calcium carbonate saturation states, and
boron isotopes to reconstruct past ocean
acidity from corals. These analyses will
provide important insights of past
climate change and geochemical cycles
of various elements. This instrument
maybe used for demonstration purposes
only for high level analytical chemistry
and geochemistry classes. The goal of
this course is to introduce the use of
stable and radioactive isotopes as tools
to trace the movement of air, water, and
sediments through the atmosphere,
hydrosphere, biosphere, and
lithosphere. Justification for Duty-Free

Use: The instrument is intended to be
used for research focusing on using
ultracold Strontium monohydroxide
(SrOH) molecules for precision
measurements of physics beyond the
Standard Model, including the electron
Electric Dipole Moment (eEDM) and
dark matter. To conduct these precision
measurements, the SrOH molecules
must first be laser-slowed and lasercooled to extremely low temperatures
and high densities. A high-power,
single-frequency 688 nm laser system
from Shanghai Precilasers will be used
to cool the SrOH molecules inside a
magneto-optical trap (MOT). This
process requires precise addressing of a
transition with MHz precision and a
high photon scattering rate for eRective
trapping. Justification for Duty-Free
