Docket Number: 09–070. Applicant: 

Haverford College, Haverford, PA 

19041. Instrument: JEM–1400 Electron 

Microscope. 

Manufacturer: JEOL Ltd., Japan. 

Intended Use: See notice at 75 FR 3895, 

January 25, 2010. 

Comments: None received. Decision: 

Approved. No instrument of equivalent 

scientific value to the foreign 

instrument, for such purposes as these 

instruments are intended to be used, 

was being manufactured in the United 

States at the time the instruments were 

ordered. Reasons: Each foreign 

instrument is an electron microscope 

and is intended for research or scientific 

educational uses requiring an electron 

microscope. We know of no electron 

microscope, or any other instrument 

suited to these purposes, which was 

being manufactured in the United States 

at the time of order of each instrument.

Decision on Applications for Duty-Free 

Entry of Scientific Instruments 

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). Related records can be viewed 

between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. in Room 

3720, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

14th and Constitution Ave., NW., 

Washington, DC. 

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 was being manufactured in 

the United States at the time of its order. 

Docket Number: 09–068. Applicant: 

University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AK 

72071. Instrument: Fluorescence 

Lifetime Imaging Microscope. 

Manufacturer: PicoQuant Photonics, 

Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 75 

FR 3895, January 25, 2010. 

Reasons: The instrument must be able 

to perform using lasers with both 

continuous wave (CW) and pulsed 

mode. The use of picoseconds pulsed 

lasers is necessary to measure 

fluorescence lifetime. The use of CW 

lasers, so that the fluorophores will be 

continuously excited, is necessary to 

measure fluorescence intensity. The 

driver that controls the laser head 

provides user-selectable pulsed 

repetition rates. This instrument is 

unique in that it is capable of pulsed 

interleaved excitation (PIE)— 

Fluorescence Resonance Energy 

Transfer (FRET) and of allowing 

repetition rates to be continuously 

varied down to the 200 kHz range. 

Furthermore, the instrument is 

compatible with atomic force 

microscopy by using objective scanning 

mode rather than sample scanning mode 

so that the sample-scanning Atomic 

Force Microscope (AFM) can be added 

to the microscope in a future upgrade. 

We know of no Fluorescence Lifetime 

Imaging Microscopes being 

manufactured in the United States at the 

time of order of this instrument.

research permit to: (1) monitor the 

abundance of loggerhead and green sea 

turtles; (2) characterize the aggregations
