1966 (Pub. L. 89–651, as amended by 

Pub. L. 106–36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR 

part 301). OnJuly 25, 2024, the 

Department of Commerce published a 

notice in the Federal Register 

requesting public comment on whether 

instruments of equivalent scientific 

value, for the purposes for which the 

instruments identified in the docket(s) 

below are intended to be used, are being 

manufactured in the United States. See 

Application(s) for Duty-Free Entry of 

Scientific Instruments, 89 FR60354–55, 

July 25, 2024 (Notice). We received no 

public comments. 

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 were being manufactured in 

the United States at the time of order. 

Docket Number: 24–010. Applicant: 

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 

77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, 

MA 02114. Instrument: Fiber Laser. 

Manufacturer: PreciLasers, China. 

Intended Use: The instrument will be 

used to study Potassium 40 atoms that 

are fermionic alkali atoms; their alkali 

electronic structure makes them 

straight-forward to trap and manipulate 

using lasers. The potassium 40 atoms 

will first be cooled sympathetically by 

sodium 23 atoms, then transferred into 

a series of optical traps, which will use 

the lasers ordered from PreciLasers. The 

final optical trap will be a 2D square 

optical lattice, where additional optical 

potentials and magnetic fields will be 

applied, and the response of the atoms 

observed through a microscope. 

Docket Number: 24–012.Applicant: 

The University of Texas at Austin, 

BEG—JJ Pickle Research Campus, 10100 

Burnet Road, Building 130, Austin, TX 

78758. 

Instrument: Ocean Alpha SL20- 

Autonomous Survey Boat. 

Manufacturer: Ocean Alpha Group Ltd., 

China. Intended Use: According to the 

applicant, the instrument is intended to 

be used as an unmanned surface vehicle 

(USV) that is designed to survey the 

depths of inland waters where it is not 

accessible for UT Austin staff. USV will 

have complimentary use of the in-house 

airborne lidar system (Lecia Chiroptera5) where lidar derived depths require 

verification. UT Austin staff will be able 

to deploy the USV from a shoreline, and 

control it remotely, with safety. 

Docket Number: 24–017.Applicant: 

State University of New York at Stony 

Brook, 100 Nicolls Road, 230 Admin 

Building, Stony Brook, NY 11794. 

Instrument: 556 nm high power, narrow 

linewidth laser. Manufacturer: Shanghai 

Precilasers Technology Co., Ltd., China. 

Intended Use: According to the 

applicant, the instrument is intended to 

be used in a quantum optics apparatus 

using Ytterbium atoms in an ultrahigh 

vacuum environment. The experiment 

will laser cool and trap single Ytterbium 

atoms and interface them with single 

photons in an optical cavity. The 

importance is the long-lived clock states 

of Ytterbium atoms, as well as the 

hyperfine ground states, both of which 

are excellent to use as qubits in a 

quantum device and store quantum 

information for a long time. 

Docket Number: 24–018. Applicant: 

Harvard University, 17 Oxford Street, 

Cambridge, MA 02138. Instrument: 

Single Frequency Fiber Laser. 

Manufacturer: Shanghai Precilasers 

Technology Co., Ltd., China. Intended 

Use: According to the applicant, the 

instrument is intended to be used to 

explore methods of taking full control of 

the internal and external degrees of 

freedom of single diatomic molecules 

(calcium monofluoride, CaF) for various 

quantum applications. The interest is in 

quantum simulation of lattice-spin 

models using CaF molecules trapped in 

an optical tweezer array. To load CaF 

molecules into an optical tweezer array, 

they must be first laser slowed and laser 

cooled to very low temperature and high 

density. The laser cooling transition 

used here is one of the only two desired 

strong electronic transitions in CaF 

molecules that possesses a diagonal 

Frank-Condon factor which supports 

scattering many photons with 

reasonable number of repump lasers. 

This laser system will be used to 

perform the above work in a research 

laboratory in the Department of Physics 

at Harvard University. The research 

work enabled by this system is part of 

the training of graduate students, 

undergraduate students, and 

postdoctoral research fellows. 

Docket Number: 24–019. Applicant: 

Harvard University, Department of 

Physics, 60 Oxford Street, Cambridge, 

MA 02138. Instrument: Fiber Laser. 

Manufacturer Shanghai Precilasers 

Technology Co., Ltd., China. Intended 

Use: According to the applicant, the 

instrument is intended to be used for 

Ytterbium (Yb) atom’s dipolar 

interaction. When Yb atoms excite their 

Rydberg states, there will be a strong 

dipolar interaction between the atoms. 

This interaction is also long-range. The 

main techniques used will be a) ultrahigh vacuum techniques and b) laser 

stabilization techniques.The instrument 

will be used to educate undergraduate 

and graduate students.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the countervailing duty 

(CVD) order on Laminated Woven Sacks 

(LWS) from the Socialist Republic of 

Vietnam (Vietnam) would be likely to 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

countervailing subsidies at the levels 

indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Sunset 

Review’’ section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable September 11, 2024.

substantive responses from any other 

interested parties, including the 

Government of Vietnam, and no 

interested party requested a hearing. On 

June 21, 2024, Commerce notified the 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

that it did not receive an adequate 

substantive response from respondent 

interested parties, and that Commerce 

would conduct an expedited (120-day)

Exploration Advisory Board 

AGENCY: Office of Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Research (OAR), National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA), Department of 

Commerce (DOC). 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth the 

schedule and proposed agenda for a 

meeting of the Ocean Exploration 

Advisory Board (OEAB). OEAB 

members will discuss and provide 

advice on the Federal ocean exploration 

program, with a particular emphasis on 

the topics identified in the section on 

Matters to Be Considered. 

DATES: The announced meeting is 

scheduled for Wednesday, October 9, 

2024 from 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. (ET) 

through Thursday, October 10, 2024 

from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. (ET). 

ADDRESSES: This meeting will be held 

on the NOAA Campus in Silver Spring, 

MD. Information about how the public 

can observe virtually will be posted to 

the OEAB website at https://

oeab.noaa.gov/. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

David Turner, Designated Federal 

Officer, Ocean Exploration Advisory 

Board, National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration, 

David.Turner@NOAA.gov or (859) 327– 

9661. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOAA 

established the OEAB under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and 

legislation that gives the agency 

statutory authority to operate an ocean 

exploration program and to coordinate a 

national program of ocean exploration. 

The OEAB advises NOAA leadership on 

strategic planning, exploration 

priorities, competitive ocean 

exploration grant programs, and other 

matters as the NOAA Administrator 

requests. 

OEAB members represent government 

agencies, the private sector, academic 

institutions, and not-for-profit 

institutions involved in all facets of 

ocean exploration—from advanced 

technology to public engagement. 

In addition to advising NOAA 

leadership, NOAA expects the OEAB to 

help to define and develop a national 

program of ocean exploration—a 

network of stakeholders and 

partnerships advancing national 

priorities for ocean exploration. 

Matters To Be Considered: NOAA 

laboratory and program science reviews 

are conducted every five years to 

evaluate the quality, relevance, and 

performance of research conducted in 

NOAA OAR laboratories and programs. 

On October 9–10, 2024, the Ocean 

Exploration Advisory Board will 

conduct a five-year program review of 

the NOAA Ocean Exploration program. 

Three focus areas have been identified 

for the review: Ensuring a National 

Program of Ocean Exploration; 

Technological Innovation and
