Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, et al.;
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 July 14, 2021. Address
written comments to Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room 3720, U.S.
Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230. Please also email a copy
of those comments to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#feba979f90909bd0b69f908d969f89be8a8c9f9a9bd0999188"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="15517c747b7b703b5d747b667d74625561677471703b727a63">[email protected]</span></a>.
Docket Number: 19-018. Applicant: Rutgers, The State University of
New Jersey, Physics and Astronomy Department, 136 Frelinghuysen Road,
Piscataway, NJ 08854. Instrument: Tube Furnace, Box furnace, Sic
Heater, MoSi2 Heater. Manufacturer: He Nan Nobody Materials Science and
Technology, China. Intended Use: According to the applicant, the
instrument will be used to study various physical properties in
strongly correlated materials such as high-temperature superconductors,
topological insulators or multiferroics. New materials will be
conducted that have unique electric and magnetic properties using
various crystal growth techniques such as flux, solid reaction, or
chemical vapor transport. To identify grown materials x-ray diffraction
and Laue diffraction will be employed. High-quality crystals will be
further investigated with a physical property measurement system and a
magnetic property measurement system to obtain their electric and
magnetic properties in varying conditions of temperature, electric and
magnetic fields. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: According to the
applicant, there are no instruments of the same general
[[Page 33224]]
category manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: July 9, 2019.
Docket Number: 20-001. Applicant: Rutgers, The State University of
New Jersey, Physics and Astronomy Department, 136 Frelinghuysen Road,
Piscataway, NJ 00854. Instrument: CZekalski furnace (Crystal grower).
Manufacturer: Sipat Co., Ltd., China. Intended Use: According to the
applicant, the instrument will be used to study the physical properties
of oxide and/or metallic materials and various physical phenomena based
on strongly correlated materials such as high temperature
superconductors, topological insulators or multiferroics. Electronic
and/or magnetic properties of new oxide and/or metallic materials will
be investigated. The growth of new materials will be conducted which
have unique electric and magnetic properties using purchased crystal
grower. To identify grown materials x-ray diffraction and Laue
diffraction will be employed. The magnetic property measurement system
obtains its electric and magnetic properties in varying conditions of
temperature, electric and magnetic fields. Justification for Duty-Free
Entry: According to the applicant, there are no instruments of the same
general category manufactured in the United States. Application
accepted by Commissioner of Customs: December 23, 2019.
Docket Number: 20-013. Applicant: Fermi Research Alliance, FRA.
Instrument: Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS-II) Upper Cold Mass
Assemblies and Vacuum Vessels. Manufacturer: Wuxi Creative Technologies
Company LTD WXCX, China. Intended Use: According to the applicant, the
instrument will be used to study the cryomodules that will be used for
scientific research, including the studies of elementary particles.
Each assembly is an essential component necessary to build a
cryomodule. LCLS-II upgrade includes three types of components (1)
vacuum vessels for the 1.2 GHz cryomodules; (2) cold-mass assemblies
for the 1.3 GHz; and (3) cold-mass assemblies for the cryomodules.
These components will also be included in the complete assembly of the
LCLS-II cryogenic cooling system, which insulates, provides and
refreshes liquified helium gas. LCLS-II is a planned upgrade project
for the free-electron laser facility located at SLAC. LCLS-II will
consist of thirty-five (35) 1.3 GHz and two (2) 3.9 GHz superconducting
radio frequency (RF) continuous wave (CW) cryomodules that Fermilab and
Jefferson Lab are producing in collaboration with SLAC. The LCLS-II
will enable new experiments and research in six broad areas: (1)
Fundamental dynamics of energy and charge in atoms and molecules; (2)
catalysis, photo-catalysis, environmental, and coordination chemistry;
(3) quantum materials; (4) non-scale heterogeneity, fluctuations, and
dynamics of functional materials; (5) matter in extreme environments;
and (6) biological function on natural length and time scales.
Justification for Duty-Free Entry: According to the applicant, there
are no instruments of the same general category manufactured in the
United States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: August
21, 2020.
Dated: June 17, 2021.
