ratus for which application is made (but which, due to its
size, cannot be feasibly imported in its assembled state),
the Secretary shall report the findings to the Secretary
of the Treasury and to the applicant institution, and all

tus shall remain dutiable.

the instrument or apparatus for which application is made
is not being manufactured in the United States, the Sec-
retary is authorized to determine further whether any
component of such instrument or apparatus of a type that

applicant institution, and any component found to be do-
mestically available shall remain dutiable.
‘‘(iii) Any decision by the Secretary of the Treasury
which allows for duty-free entry of a component of an in-
strument 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 con-

count both the scientific needs of the importing institution
and the potential for development of comparable domestic
manufacturing capacity.’’.
