Docket Number: 11–012. Applicant: 

UChicago Argonne, LLC. 9700 South 

Cass Ave., Lemont, IL 60439. 

Instrument: TFS500 Atomic Layer 

Deposition System. Manufacturer: 

Beneq OY, Finland. Intended Use: The 

instrument will be used in experiments 

on atomic layer deposition (ALD) 

growth of thin film materials to 

determine the optimal conditions of 

temperature, pressure, flux and 

precursor combinations. For the 

research the instrument is required to 

have a modular deposition chamber so 

that the system can be reconfigured to 

optimize the coating process for 

different substrates. It also requires a 

precursor delivery system that can be 

heated to 500 degrees Celsius to 

vaporize non-volatile chemical 

precursors. It also requires inert gas 

purging between the deposition 

chamber and outer heating chambers to 

contain the precursors without the need 

for a gas-tight seal at this junction. 

Justification for Duty-Free Entry: There 

are no instruments of the same general

UChicago Argonne, LLC. 9700 South 

Cass Ave., Lemont, IL 60439–4873. 

Instrument: Single Roll Presser. 

Manufacturer: A–Pro Co., Ltd, South 

Korea. Intended Use: The instrument 

will be used for making novel electrodes 

for lithium-ion cells, which are 

subjected to electrochemical 

performance testing to determine the 

influence of the active materials in the 

electrodes and electrolyte. The 

instrument is unique in that it is semiautomated with a high attention to 

dimensional tolerances, temperature 

control and safety, helping guarantee 

that the research cells made will be of 

industrial level quality and consistency 

for the experiments. Justification for 

Duty-Free Entry: There are no 

instruments of the same general 

category being manufactured in the 

United States. Application accepted by 

Commissioner of Customs: February 2,

Nanotechnology Center, 1205 West State 

Street, West Lafayette, IN 47907–2057. 

Instrument: Rapid Thermal Annealer. 

Manufacturer: Qualiflow Jipelec, 

France. Intended Use: The instrument 

will be used to conduct fast temperature 

ramping experiments with the purpose 

of annealing the research sample within. 

The instrument is designed for quick 

ramping of temperature in order to keep 

the thermal budget at a minimum. The 

instrument has a temperature ramp rate 

of 300 degrees Celsius per second. Other 

key characteristics that distinguish this 

instrument from others are vacuum 

purge capability and contamination 

control. Justification for Duty-Free 

Entry: There are no instruments of the 

same general category being 

manufactured in the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

response to a request from the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), National Coordinator 

for Health Information Technology, the 

National Voluntary Laboratory 

Accreditation Program (NVLAP) is 

considering establishing an 

accreditation program for laboratories 

that test HIT electronic health record 

technology. 

NVLAP accreditation criteria are 

established in accordance with the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR, title 15, 

Part 285), NVLAP Procedures and 

General Requirements. To be accredited 

by NVLAP, laboratories conducting 

testing of HIT electronic health record 

technology will be required to meet 

ISO/IEC International Standard 17025, 

general requirements for the 

competence of testing and calibration 

laboratories. In addition, for each new 

LAP, NVLAP works with the affected 

testing community to develop programspecific technical requirements. These 

requirements tailor the general 

accreditation criteria referenced in 

Sections 4 and 5 of the NIST handbook 

150 to the test and services in the new 

LAP. Program-specific requirements 

include the details of the scope of 

accreditation, test and measurement 

equipment, personnel requirements, 

validation of test methods, and 

reporting of test results. 

NVLAP accreditation does not imply 

any guarantee (certification) of 

laboratory performance or test/ 

calibration data. NVLAP accreditation is 

a finding of laboratory competence.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Species Covered in This Notice 

This notice is relevant to federally 

threatened Central California Coast 

(CCC) steelhead (Oncorhynchus 

mykiss). 

Authority 

Scientific research permits are issued 

in accordance with section 10(a)(1)(A) 

of the ESA of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531– 

1543) and regulations governing listed 

fish and wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 

222–226). NMFS issues permits based 

on findings that such permits: (1) Are 

applied for in good faith; (2) if granted 

and exercised, would not operate to the 

disadvantage of the listed species which 

are the subject of the permits; and (3) 

are consistent with the purposes and 

policies set forth in section 2 of the 

ESA. The authority to take listed species 

is subject to conditions set forth in the 

permits. 

Anyone requesting a hearing on the 

application listed in this notice should 

set out the specific reasons why a 

hearing on this application would be 

appropriate (see ADDRESSES). Such 

hearings are held at the discretion of the 

Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, 

NMFS. 

Application Received 

URS Corporation in Oakland, CA, is 

requesting a 5-year scientific research 

permit (Permit 16115) to take juvenile 

CCC steelhead associated with a 

research project in the Guadalupe River 

watershed in Santa Clara County, CA. In 

the study described below, researchers 

do not expect to kill any listed fish but 

a small number may die as an 

unintended result of the research 

activities. 

The purpose of the research program 

is to collect warmwater fish species to 

analyze individuals for total mercury 

content, and to obtain information on 

CCC steelhead presence. Target species 

include adult California roach (Lavinia 

symmetricus) and young of the year 

largemouth bass (Micropterus 

salmoides). CCC steelhead captured 

during sampling will be placed in an 

aerated bucket, enumerated, measured 

and released at the point of capture; no 

samples will be taken of CCC steelhead. 

Locations and habitat conditions in 

areas that CCC steelhead are captured 

will be noted. 

Sampling will occur once annually in 

2011, 2012, and 2016; sample collection 

will take place between May 1 and June 

30, depending on seasonal weather 

patterns and permit conditions. Fish 

will be collected by backpack 

electrofisher at five stream sampling 

sites. Captured unlisted warmwater fish 

will be analyzed for total mercury 

content to assess the success of Total 

Maximum Daily Load implementation 

efforts. URS Corporation will also be 

conducting boat electrofishing in 

reservoirs that do not contain ESA-listed 

anadromous fish and therefore take of 

CCC steelhead is not expected as a 

result of this collection method.
