applicant institution, and any component found to be domestically
available shall remain dutiable.
‘‘(iii) Any decision by the Secretary of the Treasury which
allows for duty-free entry of a component of an instrument or
apparatus which, due to its size cannot be feasibly imported in
its assembled state, shall be effective for a specified maximum
period, to be determined in consultation with the Secretary of
Commerce, taking into account both the scientific needs of the
importing institution and the potential for development of com-
parable domestic manufacturing capacity.’’.
