*Docket Number:*                     11-019.                     *Applicant:*                     University of Wyoming, 1000 East University Avenue Laramie, WY 82072.                     *Instrument:*                     Electron Microscope.                     *Manufacturer:*                     Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, Japan.                     *Intended Use:*                     The instrument will be used to examine animal tissues to diagnose diseases, especially those caused by viral infections. For some diseases, electron microscopy provides the most accurate and timely method of arriving at a presumptive or definitive diagnosis.                     *Justification for Duty-Free Entry:*                     There are no instruments of the same general category manufactured in the United States.                     *Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs:*                     March 11, 2011.                

*Docket Number:*                     11-020.                     *Applicant:*                     U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service. 10300 Baltimore Ave Beltsville, MD 20705.                     *Instrument:*                     Electron Microscope.                     *Manufacturer:*                     Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, Japan.                     *Intended Use:*                     The instrument will be used to identify and characterize new viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and plant and animal cell structures. Standard electron microscopy                           ( print page 20953)                        techniques will be utilized to observe the samples.                     *Justification for Duty-Free Entry:*                     There are no instruments of the same general category manufactured in the United States.                     *Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs:*                     March 11, 2011.                

*Docket Number:*                     11-024.                     *Applicant:*                     Mayo Clinic. 200 First St SW Rochester, MN 55905.                     *Instrument:*                     Electron Microscope.                     *Manufacturer:*                     FEI Company, the Netherlands.                     *Intended Use:*                     The instrument will be used to evaluate tissue looking for ultrastructural indicators of disease, as well as other experiments including cell culture morphology, transplant and host tissue interactions, and implant artifacts and breakage. Techniques to be used include standard transmission electron microscopy preparative procedures as well as specialized techniques including immunoelectron microscopy, negative staining and electron tomography.                     *Justification for Duty-Free Entry:*                     There are no instruments of the same general category manufactured in the United States.                     *Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs:*                     March 14, 2011.
