DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

International Trade Administration 

For the Regents of the University of 

Idaho et al.; Application(s) for DutyFree Entry of Scientific Instruments 

Pursuant to section 6(c) of the 

Educational, Scientific and Cultural 

Materials Importation Act of 1966 (Pub. 

L. 89–651, asamended 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 8, 

2024. Address written comments to 

Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room 

41006, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

Washington, DC 20230. Please also 

email a copy of those comments to

Docket Number: 23–017. Applicant: 

For the Regents of the University of 

Idaho, 875 Perimeter Drive, MS 2006, 

Moscow, ID 83844–2006. Instrument: 

EcoUnit(s). 

Manufacturer: Regineering GmbH, 

Germany. Intended Use: The instrument 

is intended to be used to study the 24 

EcoUnits composing the Deep Soil 

Ecotron (https://deepsoilecotron.org/) 

will be used specifically to study deep 

soils (i.e., soils greater than 30 cm in 

depth), as well as the associated surface 

soils (i.e., soils 0–30 cm in depth) and 

the above ground plant community. The 

techniques employed will include 

experimental design that enables 

researchers through the use of these 

EcoUnits to precisely manipulate and 

control a suite of environmental 

variables controlled by EcoUnits. 

Additionally, researchers will employ 

state of the art sensors to monitor soil 

temperature, moisture, and gas fluxes, 

as well as plant root growth an 

morphology, and soil microbial 

communities via next-generation 

sequencing. 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: October 20, 

2023. 

Docket Number: 23–018. Applicant: 

University of Chicago, 5640 S Ellis 

Avenue, ERC LL248, Chicago, IL 60637. 

Instrument: Fiber Laser Amplifier. 

Manufacturer: PercilLasers, 

China.Intended Use: The instrument is 

intended to be used for the laser 

amplifier in question which will allow 

us to improve both the quality of 

Rydberg excitation and the number of 

atoms which can be simultaneously 

excited, which in turn will extend the 

complexity of quantum circuits which 

can be implemented in this experiment. 

Large quantum circuits are of 

fundamental interest in understanding 

the information complexity of quantum 

systems and may also enable the study 

of complex many-body phenomena such 

as quantum magnetism. 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: 

September 7, 2023. 

Dated: January 12, 2024.
