DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
International Trade Administration
For the Regents of the University of Idaho 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, asamended
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 February 8, 2024. Address
written comments to Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room 41006, U.S.
Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230. Please also email a copy
of those comments to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#afebc6cec1c1ca81e7cec1dcc7ced8efdbddcecbca81c8c0d9"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="98dcf1f9f6f6fdb6d0f9f6ebf0f9efd8eceaf9fcfdb6fff7ee">[email protected]</span></a>.
Docket Number: 23-017. Applicant: For the Regents of the University
of Idaho, 875 Perimeter Drive, MS 2006, Moscow, ID 83844-2006.
Instrument: EcoUnit(s).
Manufacturer: Regineering GmbH, Germany. Intended Use: The
instrument is intended to be used to study the 24 EcoUnits composing
the Deep Soil Ecotron (<a href="https://deepsoilecotron.org/">https://deepsoilecotron.org/</a>) will be used
specifically to study deep soils (i.e., soils greater than 30 cm in
depth), as well as the associated surface soils (i.e., soils 0-30 cm in
depth) and the above ground plant community. The techniques employed
will include experimental design that enables researchers through the
use of these EcoUnits to precisely manipulate and control a suite of
environmental variables controlled by EcoUnits. Additionally,
researchers will employ state of the art sensors to monitor soil
temperature, moisture, and gas fluxes, as well as plant root growth an
morphology, and soil microbial communities via next-generation
sequencing. 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: October 20, 2023.
Docket Number: 23-018. Applicant: University of Chicago, 5640 S
Ellis Avenue, ERC LL248, Chicago, IL 60637. Instrument: Fiber Laser
Amplifier. Manufacturer: PercilLasers, China.Intended Use: The
instrument is intended to be used for the laser amplifier in question
which will allow us to improve both the quality of Rydberg excitation
and the number of atoms which can be simultaneously excited, which in
turn will extend the complexity of quantum circuits which can be
implemented in this experiment. Large quantum circuits are of
fundamental interest in understanding the information complexity of
quantum systems and may also enable the study of complex many-body
phenomena such as quantum magnetism. 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: September 7, 2023.
Dated: January 12, 2024.
Gregory W. Campbell,
Director, Subsidies and Economic Analysis, Enforcement and Compliance.
