in the United States that is of equivalent scientific value to a 
foreign-origin instrument or apparatus 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 components of such foreign-origin instrument or apparatus 
shall remain dutiable. 
"(ii) If the Secretary of Commerce determines that the 
instrument or apparatus for which application is made is not being 
manufactured in the United States, the Secretary is authorized 
to determine further whether any component of such instrument 
or apparatus of a type that may be purchased, obtained, or imported 
separately is being manufactured in the United States and shall 
report the findings to the Secretary of the Treasury and to the 
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.".

Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce shall make such modifica-
tions to their joint regulations as are necessary to carry out the 
amendments made by this section.
