3See Petitioners’ Letter, ‘‘Postponement of the 

Preliminary Determinations,’’ dated January 10, 

2025. 

4 Id. at 2. 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determinations in the LTFV 

investigations of CORE from Australia, 

Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the 

Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, 

Tu ̈rkiye, the UAE, and Vietnam.3 The 

petitioners stated, ‘‘{p}ostponement of 

the preliminary determinations is 

necessary and appropriate given the size 

and complexity of these investigations, 

the number of participating 

respondents, and the numerous 

extensions of time received by 

respondents to submit responses to 

Commerce’s initial questionnaire,’’ and 

that the postponement ‘‘will allow 

Commerce adequate time to issue 

supplemental questionnaires and 

develop a comprehensive record in 

these investigations.’’ 4

For the reasons stated above, and 

because there are no compelling reasons 

to deny the request, in accordance with 

section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(e), Commerce is 

postponing the deadline for the 

preliminary determinations by 50 days 

(i.e., to 190 days after the date on which 

these investigations were initiated). As 

a result, Commerce will issue its 

preliminary determinations in the 

above-referenced investigations no later 

than April 3, 2025. In accordance with 

section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final 

determinations of these investigations 

will continue to be 75 days after the 

date of the preliminary determinations, 

unless postponed at a later date. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

L. 89–651, as amended 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 18, 

2025. Address written comments to

Docket Number: 24–028. Applicant: 

Arizona State University, 1711 S Rural 

Road, Tempe, AZ 85281. Instrument: 

Ultra High Pressure Multi-Anvil 

apparatus with DIA module. 

Manufacturer: Max Voggenreiter GmbH, 

Germany. Intended Use: The instrument 

is intended to be used to enable 

materials to be processed under a much 

wider range of pressure and temperature 

than currently available in the United 

States. Materials subjected to extreme 

pressure (and temperature) undergo 

significant changes in shape, bonding 

and atomic-scale structure. The goal of 

the FORCE Mid-Scale Research 

Instrumentation Project is to establish a 

Facility for High Pressure Research 

located at Arizona State University 

(ASU), but accessible to researchers 

throughout the U.S., and the rest of the 

World, through the acquisition and 

implementation of highly specialized 

high-pressure instrumentation. 

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: August 15, 

2024. 

Docket Number: 24–034. Applicant: 

University of Colorado JILA 

Department, Campus Box 440, UCB, 

JILA Building, Room S/175, Boulder, 

CO 80309. Instrument: Thulium-doped 

fiber laser. Manufacturer: Shanghai 

Precilasers Technology Co., Ltd., China. 

Intended Use: According to the 

applicant, the instrument is intended to 

be used with the purchase of a laser 

with a center wavelength of 502.88 nm 

and 1 watt of output power. This laser 

will couple certain vibrational and 

electronic states of the molecule YO, 

which is the system under study in our 

lab. Currently, we use a 649 nm laser 

(also from Precilasers) to couple a 

different set of levels. Integrating this 

laser into our experiment, we expect a 

significant enhancement in the number 

of molecules we can trap enabling new 

scientific goals. Justification for DutyFree Entry: According to the applicant, 

there are no instruments of the same 

general category manufactured in the 

United States. Application accepted by

80309. Instrument: Soft X-ray scientific 

CMOS camera. Manufacturer: Fuzhou 

Tucsen Photonics, Ltd., China. Intended 

Use: According to the applicant, the 

instrument is intended to be used as a 

low-dose soft X-ray ptychographic 

imaging, for biological samples, which 

can benefit from an imaging sensor with 

high frame rates, low read out noise and 

high quantum efficiency. Our current 

generation tabletop soft X-ray source is 

limited to low flux, further adding to the 

need for a high sensitivity X-ray camera. 

Most of our current cameras utilize 

backside illuminated CCD technology, 

which is somewhat limited in all of 

those categories. Justification for DutyFree 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: July 23, 

2024.

14853–2501. Instrument: Narrow 

Linewidth Fiber Laser. Manufacturer: 

Shanghai Precilasers Technology 

Company, Ltd., China. Intended Use: 

The instrument is intended to be used 

for the trapping and controlling chains 

of singly ionized barium atoms. The 

materials to be investigated are quantum 

information aspects associated with the 

internal level structure of the atoms and 

their quantum mechanical motion. 

Studying the efficiency of quantum 

algorithms using trapped ion systems 

and utilizing trapped ion systems as 

precision probes for search of new 

physics. Graduate students in the Katz 

Lab will use the lasers to assemble the 

trapped ion setup, gaining advanced 

knowledge in optics and quantum 

information processing. Justification for

Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70118. 

Instrument: Multi-collector high 

resolution inductively-coupled plasma 

mass spectrometer with collision cell. 

Manufacturer: Nu Instruments, United 

Kingdom. Intended Use: The instrument 

is intended to be used to enhance the 

research capabilities of the Earth and 

Environmental Sciences department. 

Currently planned experiments include 

using thallium isotopes and selenium 

isotopes to study past ocean oxygen 

variations from rock samples, strontium 

and calcium isotopes to investigate 

calcium carbonate saturation states, and 

boron isotopes to reconstruct past ocean 

acidity from corals. These analyses will 

provide important insights of past 

climate change and geochemical cycles 

of various elements. This instrument 

maybe used for demonstration purposes 

only for high level analytical chemistry 

and geochemistry classes. The goal of 

this course is to introduce the use of 

stable and radioactive isotopes as tools 

to trace the movement of air, water, and 

sediments through the atmosphere, 

hydrosphere, biosphere, and 

lithosphere. Justification for Duty-Free

Cambridge, MA 01238. Instrument: 

Narrow linewidth lasers with 

accompanying accessories (2). 

Manufacturer: Shanghai Precilasers 

Technology Co., Ltd., China. Intended 

Use: The instrument is intended to be 

used for research focusing on using 

ultracold Strontium monohydroxide 

(SrOH) molecules for precision 

measurements of physics beyond the 

Standard Model, including the electron 

Electric Dipole Moment (eEDM) and 

dark matter. To conduct these precision 

measurements, the SrOH molecules 

must first be laser-slowed and lasercooled to extremely low temperatures 

and high densities. A high-power, 

single-frequency 688 nm laser system 

from Shanghai Precilasers will be used 

to cool the SrOH molecules inside a 

magneto-optical trap (MOT). This 

process requires precise addressing of a 

transition with MHz precision and a 

high photon scattering rate for eRective 

trapping. Justification for Duty-Free

Manufacturer: Carpenteria Colombo 

Ferruccio SRL, Italy. Intended Use: The 

instrument is intended to be used to 

study the thermal and gravitational 

deformation of a 5.5 meter diameter, 

monolithic aluminum mirror which 

serves as the primary reflecting mirror 

on a telescope designed to study 

primordial gravitational waves. The 

objectives are to characterize the

noise laser amplifier at 1064 nm will be 

used in a cold atom experiment at 

University of California, Santa Barbara, 

for opCcal trapping and manipulaCon of 

ultracold potassium-39 atoms. It will be
