Commerce on matters related to 

innovation and entrepreneurship in the 

United States. NACIE’s overarching 

focus is recommending transformational 

policies to the Secretary that will help 

U.S. communities, businesses, and the 

workforce become more globally 

competitive. The Council operates as an 

independent entity within the Office of 

Innovation and Entrepreneurship (OIE), 

which is housed within the U.S. 

Commerce Department’s Economic 

Development Administration. NACIE 

members are a diverse and dynamic 

group of successful entrepreneurs, 

innovators, and investors, as well as 

leaders from nonprofit organizations 

and academia. 

The purpose of this meeting is to 

discuss the Council’s planned work 

initiatives in three focus areas: 

workforce/talent, entrepreneurship, and 

innovation. The final agenda will be 

posted on the NACIE Web site at 

http://www.eda.gov/oie/nacie/ prior to 

the meeting. Any member of the public 

may submit pertinent questions and 

comments concerning the Council’s 

affairs at any time before or after the 

meeting. Comments may be submitted 

to the Office of Innovation and 

Entrepreneurship at the contact 

information below. Those unable to 

attend the meetings in person but

University of Minnesota, et al.; Notice 

of Decision on Application for DutyFree 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

NW., Washington, DC. 

Docket Number: 15–041. Applicant: 

University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, 

MN 55455–0149. Instrument: IVVI 

Measuring System with Modules. 

Manufacturer: Delft University of 

Technology, the Netherlands. Intended 

Use: See notice at 80 FR 65984–85, 

October 28, 2015. 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 order. 

Reasons: The instrument will be used to 

uncover novel quantum properties of 

certain semiconductors or 

superconductors, such as InAs, GaSb or 

devices combining these with 

superconductors such As Al and Nb, 

using high-sensitivity electronic current 

and voltage measurements. Unique 

properties of this instrument include 

modular integration of pA sensitivity 

ammeter, required to measure very 

small electrical currents down to several 

pA, low-noise transimpedance 

amplifier, required to transform the 

electrical currents into voltage signals of 

a few mV that can be measured with 

conventional laboratory voltmeters, and 

low-noise digital-to-analogue converter 

and signal switchboxes. The entire 

setup is battery-operated and is 

programmable via an opticallydecoupled input to minimize electrical 

noise interference from electrical power 

lines or other instruments. 

Docket Number: 15–042. Applicant: 

Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 

47907. Instrument: SuperK EXTREME 

EXR–20 20 MHz with SuperK VARIA 

High 50dB with Power Lock. 

Manufacturer: NKT Photonics, 

Denmark. Intended Use: See notice at 80 

FR 65984–85, October 28, 2015. 

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 order. 

Reasons: The instrument will be used to 

image tissue or tissue like materials 

with high optical scatter using Optical 

Diffusion Tomography (ODT), providing 

useful information for the study of 

biological and chemical processes. The 

instrument has a wide turning range, 

which is important for exciting different 

fluorophores of interest, providing 

specificity to chemical processes, a 

short pulse width which is important 

for performing time-gated 

measurements, high laser power which 

is important for obtaining a high SNR 

from laser light traveling through 

centimeters of tissue or related 

scattering medium, and a 20MHz 

repetition rate which is important for 

time-gated measurements given the 

temporal response time of tissue. 

Docket Number: 15–045. Applicant: 

University of Massachusetts Medical 

School, Worchester, MA 01655. 

Instrument: Vitrobot. Manufacturer: FEI 

Electron Optics, B.V., the Netherlands. 

Intended Use: See notice at 80 FR 

65984–85, October 28, 2015. 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 order. 

Reasons: The instrument will be used to 

understand the three-dimensional 

structure of purified proteins and 

complexes at the atomic level, and how 

this is related to their function, by 

freezing them, then examining them in 

the frozen state in an electron 

microscope. The instrument can 

precisely control the humidity at any 

level, and can also control the 

temperature of the chamber, which is 

essential to freeze the proteins and 

complexes under exactly defined 

conditions, which is a requirement for 

all of the studies. The specimen remains 

in the humidity-controlled environment 

until the instant of freezing, which is 

essential to prevent any evaporation of 

water from the specimen before 

freezing. 

Docket Number: 15–050. Applicant: 

Rutgers University, Brunswick, NJ 

08901. Instrument: Junior 

Micromanipulator unit with remote 

control system, shifting table and 

chamber unit parts. Manufacturer: Luigs 

& Neumann, Germany. Intended Use: 

See notice at 80 FR 79307–08, December 

21, 2015. 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 order. Reasons: The 

instrument will be used to 

simultaneously measure the 

microscopic electric signals generated 

from neurons, specifically the patchclamp whole cell recordings from 

neurons, to identify specific alterations 

in synaptic transmission that leads to 

neuropsychiatric or neurological 

disorders. The instrument is a highly 

flexible, highly precise system, offering 

the highest mechanical resolution and 

smoothest movement because of its 

patented spindle nut system, which 

guarantees a unique and extraordinary 

stability for long term recordings. The 

step motor is decoupled preventing a 

thermal bridge from the motor to the 

machine and also prevents vibration 

during movement. The experiments 

require high precision equipment to 

precisely determine the measurement of 

voltage in the mV range and current in 

the pA range.
