Application(s) for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments

    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), 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 October 12, 2010. Address 
written comments to Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room 3720, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230. Applications may be 
examined between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the U.S. Department of 
Commerce in Room 3720.

    Docket Number: 10-054. Applicant: The University of Georgia (UGA), 
B202C Davison Life Sciences Complex, Athens, GA 30602-7229. Instrument: 
HV Pneumatic Quadrant Beam Position Monitor with I404 Quad Current 
Integrator. Manufacturer: FMB Oxford Limited, United Kingdom. Intended 
Use: The instrument will be used to study macromolecules of genomes and 
metabolic processes. Optimization of standard X-ray crystallographic 
techniques will be implemented to utilize the exceptionally intense X-
rays produced by the Advanced Photon source, which are far greater than 
the X-ray capabilities available in the home source laboratory. The 
instrument must meet these specifications: An 11 mm diameter beam 
aperture, a He leak rate of < 2 x 10<SUP>-8</SUP> mbar I/sec, HV 
compatible to < 5 x 10<SUP>-7</SUP> mbar vacuum, an operational range 
of 2 bar to 7 bar, a 6 mm pneumatic air connection, and a 24 VCD (1.2W) 
at 50 mA solenoid with flying leads. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: 
There are no instruments of the same general category being 
manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by Commissioner 
of Customs: August 24, 2010.

    Docket Number: 10-059. Applicant: UChicago LLC, 9700 South Cass 
Avenue Lemont, IL 60439. Instrument: Micropitting Test Machine. 
Manufacturer: Primelia Consulting Services Limited, United Kingdom. 
Intended Use: The instrument will be used to study the phenomena of 
micro-pitting and fatigue failure of bearing and gear materials for 
various lubricants and surface treatments. The instrument has 
capabilities that are tailored for the specific micropitting analysis, 
specifically the accelerometer measurement to monitor for onset of 
fatigue failure. The instrument also has three points of contact which 
will increase the speed at which tests are made. Justification for 
Duty-Free Entry: There are no instruments of the same general category 
being manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by 
Commissioner of Customs: August 23, 2010.
