Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. No instrument of
equivalent scientific value to the foreign instruments described below,
for such purposes as each is intended to be used, is being manufactured
in the United States.
Docket Number: 94-107. Applicant: Brigham Young University, Provo,
UT 85602. Instrument: Excimer-Pumped Laser System. Manufacturer:
Lambda-Physik, Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 59 FR 52287,
October 17, 1994. Reasons: The foreign instrument provides a pulse
energy of 400 mJ at a frequency of 308 nm and a maximum repetition rate
of 100 Hz for optimal pumping of both UV and visible dyes.
Docket Number: 94-110. Applicant: Dartmouth College, Hanover, New
Hampshire 03755. Instrument: Mass Spectrometer, Model MAT 252.
