National Institutes of Health, 49 

Convent Drive MSC 4480, Bldg. 49, Rm 

5W14, Bethesda, MD 20892. Instrument: 

Electron Microscope. Manufacturer: 

JEOL Limited, Japan. Intended Use: The 

instrument will be used to study 

primarily neurological tissue and cells 

from mice, zebrafish, and fruit flies. The 

properties of the materials being 

investigated are those of a biological 

nature, which require a very high 

resolution. Justification for Duty-Free 

Entry: There are no instruments of the 

same general category manufactured in 

the United States. Application accepted 

by Commissioner of Customs: August 

20, 2010. 

Docket Number: 10–056. Applicant: 

University of Notre Dame, Procurement 

Services 709 Grace Hall Notre Dame, 

Indiana 46556. Instrument: Electron 

Microscope. Manufacturer: FEI 

Company, the Netherlands. Intended 

Use: The instrument will be used in biogeochemical and bio-engineering 

research. Many of the processes of 

interest are at or near the nano-scale so 

the instrument is important for the 

analysis of structures and compositions. 

Some projects can only be accomplished 

with the improved resolution and 

analytical capabilities of the instrument. 

Justification for Duty-Free Entry: There 

are no instruments of the same general 

category manufactured in the United 

States. Application accepted by 

Commissioner of Customs: September 1,

Facility Rolla, MO 56049. Instrument: 

Electron Microscope. Manufacturer: FEI 

Company, the Netherlands. Intended 

Use: The instrument will be used to 

investigate carbon/nitrogen effects on 

steel lattice parameters, atomic 

abruptness of electrochemically 

produced metal/metal oxide layers, 

orientation relationships and defects in 

friction stir processed metal alloys, and 

nanoparticle size, shape and chemistry 

on PEM fuel cell porous membranes. 

Justification for Duty-Free Entry: There 

are no instruments of the same general 

category manufactured in the United

Intended Use: The instrument will be 

used to observe changes in 

ultrastructure of cytoskeletal and 

membrane elements of cells as a result 

of specific mutations or diseases states. 

Justification for Duty-Free Entry: There 

are no instruments of the same general 

category manufactured in the United 

States. Application accepted by

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration 

Notice of Availability of a Draft NOAA 

Climate Service Strategic Vision and 

Framework for Public Review, and 

Notice of Informational Webinar 

Meetings 

ACTION: Notice of availability of a draft 

NOAA Climate Service strategic vision 

and framework for public review, and 

notice of informational webinar 

meetings. 

SUMMARY: On February 8, 2010, the 

Department of Commerce and the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) announced 

their intent to establish a new NOAA 

Climate Service (NCS). The new service 

will directly support NOAA’s vision of 

‘‘an informed society that uses a 

comprehensive understanding of the 

role of the oceans, coasts, and 

atmosphere in the global ecosystem to 

make the best social and economic 

decisions.’’ It will also contribute to 

NOAA’s mission ‘‘to understand and 

anticipate changes in Earth’s 

environment, and conserve and manage 

coastal and marine resources to meet 

our Nation’s economic, social and 

environmental needs.’’ The 

reorganization of existing agency assets 

is intended to help NOAA better work 

with our partners to respond to the 

growing demands for climate 

information from the public, business, 

industry, local, state and Federal 

agencies, and decision makers. 

As part of the process to establish a 

new NCS, NOAA recently completed a 

strategic vision and framework 

document that describes how NOAA 

proposes to respond to society’s growing 

need for climate services. The document 

describes the vision and outlines how 

the NCS can achieve new strategic goals 

related to the delivery and development 

of reliable, timely, and authoritative 

climate science and service to enable a 

climate-resilient society to grow and 

prosper. 

NOAA will accept comments on the 

strategic vision from September 21 to 

midnight on October 18, 2010. A copy 

of the draft document and instructions 

on how to submit comments can be 

found at http://www.noaa.gov/climate. 

NOAA is also hosting a series of 

informational webinars for individuals 

and organizations to learn more about 

the proposed NCS vision and timeline 

and to provide an opportunity for to 

answer questions, and obtain feedback. 

Each webinar is targeted to a specific 

sector, and will begin with a 

presentation from Dr. Chet Koblinsky, 

Director, NOAA Climate Program Office 

and Transitional Deputy Director, 

NOAA Climate service, and will be 

followed by a question and answer 

session. 

DATES: The webinar meeting dates are: 

1. Friday, September 24, 2010, 1 p.m. 

to 2:30 p.m. EST, for the academic 

research community. 

2. Friday, September 24, 2010, 3 p.m. 

to 4:30 p.m. EST, for state and local 

government officials. 

3. Wednesday, September 29, 2010, 

3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST, for the 

corporate and business community. 

4. Thursday, September 30, 2010, 3:30 

p.m. to 5 p.m. EST, for nongovernmental and non-profit 

organizations.

webinar, please visit http://
