DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
International Trade Administration
University of Chicago Argonne LLC, et.al; Notice of Decision on
Application for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments
This is a decision 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). On
August 19, 2019, the Department of Commerce published a notice in the
Federal Register requesting public comment on whether instruments of
equivalent scientific value, for the purposes for which the instruments
identified in the docket(s) below are intended to be used, are being
manufactured in the United States. See Application(s) for Duty-Free
Entry of Scientific Instruments, 84 FR 42889 (August 19, 2019)
(Notice).
We received no public comments. Related records can be viewed
between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. in Room 3720, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th and Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC.
Docket Number: 19-002. Applicant: University of Chicago Argonne
LLC., Lemont, IL 60439-4873. Instrument: S1-S3 magnets. Manufacturer:
Danfysik, Denmark. Intended Use: See Notice at 84 FR 42889. Comments:
None received. Decision: Approved. We know of no instruments of
equivalent scientific value to the foreign instruments described below,
for such purposes as this is intended to be used, that were being
manufactured in the United States at the time of order. Reasons: The
instrument(s) are the components of a 4th generation synchrotron
accelerator, i.e., the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APSU)
accelerator. According to the applicant, APSU is a non-profit research
facility which provides ultra-bright, high-energy x-ray beams to more
than 5000 (and growing) scientists from across the United States. These
scientists come from universities, medical schools, and other research
institutions. Their research covers nearly every scientific discipline,
from materials science to biology, chemistry, environmental, geological
and planetary science and fundamental physics. APSU provides x-ray
beams of a broad parameters that allow scientists to collect data in
unprecedented detail and short time frames. According to the applicant,
the research results achieved through APSU will make real and positive
impact on our technologies, health, economy and fundamental
understanding of the materials that make up the world.
Docket Number: 19-003. Applicant: University of Chicago Argonne
LLC, Lemont, IL 60439-4873. Instrument: Canted Undulator Front-End
Fixed Masks and Photon Shutters. Manufacturer: Strumenti Scientific
CINEL S.R.L., Italy. Intended Use: See Notice at 84 FR 42889. Comments:
None received. Decision: Approved. We know of no instruments of
equivalent scientific value to the foreign instruments described below,
for such purposes as this is intended to be used, that were being
manufactured in the United States at the time of order. Reasons:
According to the applicant, the instrument will be used to assemble the
new canted undulator front ends for the Advanced Photon Source upgrade.
The front end consists of a series of components that connect the
storage ring to the user beamline in order to deliver a photon beam
that will be used as a three-dimensional X-ray microscope for
experimental purposes.
The properties of the materials studied include but are not limited
to grain structure, grain boundary and interstitial defects and
morphology. These properties are not only studied at ambient
environments but also under high pressure, temperature, stress and
strain. The objective is to further the
[[Page 55290]]
understanding of different materials and material properties.
Docket Number: 19-004. Applicant: University of Chicago Argonne
LLC., Lemont, IL 60439-4873. Instrument: Unipolar polar supplies.
Manufacturer: Danfysik, Denmark. Intended Use: See Notice at 84 FR
42889-90. Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. We know of no
instruments of equivalent scientific value to the foreign instruments
described below, for such purposes as this is intended to be used, that
were being manufactured in the United States at the time of order.
Reasons: According to the applicant, the instrument is part of a
complex machine to be used for basic research that provides a very
stable and filtered direct current (DC) to power electromagnet to bend,
focus and correct electrons particle (e-) in a multi bend achromat
(MBA) storage ring (SR). The nominal current varies from 100 A to 300A
and the required stability and ripple is better than 10 parts per
million (<10ppm). The equipment should comply with APS safety standards
and mechanical dimensions to be installed in existing racks. According
to the applicant, APS-U is approaching a new era in science and
engineering, one that promises a revolutionary understanding of complex
materials and chemical processes across the entire hierarchy of
lengthscales and timescales. The improvements in photon beam
properties, combined with rapid, ongoing advances in x-ray optics,
insertion devices, detectors, computing and theory will make it
possible for researchers at x-ray light sources to explore a new
landscape of scientific problems that previously were inaccessible.
Docket Number: 19-006. Applicant: University of Chicago Argonne
LLC, Lemont, IL 60439-4873. Instrument: Q4 and Q5 magnets.
Manufacturer: Danfysik, Denmark. Intended Use: See Notice at 84 FR
42889-90. Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. We know of no
instruments of equivalent scientific value to the foreign instruments
described below, for such purposes as this is intended to be used, that
were being manufactured in the United States at the time of order.
Reasons: The instrument(s) are the components of a 4th generation
synchrotron accelerator, i.e., the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade

Grid Masks. Manufacturer: Strumenti Scientific CINEL S.R.I., Italy.
Intended Use: See Notice at 84 FR 42889-90. Comments: None received.
Decision: Approved. We know of no instruments of equivalent scientific
value to the foreign instruments described below, for such purposes as
this is intended to be used, that were being manufactured in the United
States at the time of order. Reasons: The instrument and components
will be used to assemble the new high heat load front ends for the
Advanced Photon Source Upgrade. The front end consists of a series of
components that connect the storage ring to the user beamline to
deliver a photon beam that will be used as a three-dimensional X-ray
microscope for experimental purposes. The materials/phenomena studied
vary from material properties analysis, protein mapping for
pharmaceutical companies, X-ray imaging and chemical composition, but
are not limited to grain structure, grain boundary and interstitial
defects and morphology under high pressure, temperature, stress and

Docket Number: 19-009. Applicant: Fermi Research Alliance (FRA)
Batavia, IL 60510. Instrument: Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-11)
cryomodules vacuum vessels. Manufacturer: Wuxi Creative Technologies
Company, Ltd., WXCX, China. Intended Use: See Notice at 84 FR 42890.
Comments: None received. Decision: Approved. We know of no instruments
of equivalent scientific value to the foreign instruments described
below, for such purposes as this is intended to be used, that were
being manufactured in the United States at the time of order. Reasons:
The instrument will be used to study scientific research including the
studies of elementary particles. Each vessel is assembled with other
components to form a CW cryomodule. The Vessel is a cylindrical vacuum
shell that the cold mass upper assembly (``Assembly'') is inserted
into. The Vessel provides the insulating vacuum and other necessary
conditions to cool down and operate the cryomodules in the LCLS-II
upgrade.
