Production Act of 1993, Clean Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Development

(SwRI)

Notice is hereby given that, on August 15, 1994, pursuant to

Section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of

1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Southwest Research

Institute (``SwRI'') filed notifications simultaneously with the

Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing changes in

the membership and project status of the Clean Heavy Duty Diesel Engine

Development cooperative research project. The notifications were filed

for the purpose of invoking the Act's provisions limiting the recovery

of antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified

circumstances. Specifically, the participants have agreed to extend the

period of performance from April 1, 1993 to March 31, 1995; Isuzu

Motors, Ltd. and Isuzu Advanced Engineering Center, Ltd. have withdrawn

from participation in the project effective April 1, 1994; and the

planned activities have been expanded to include research related to

late cycle enhanced mixing in a heavy duty diesel engine being

partially funded by the California Energy Commission.

No other changes have been made in either the membership or planned

activity of the group research project. Membership in the project

remains open, and SwRI intends to file additional written notification

disclosing all changes in membership.

On November 4, 1991, SwRI filed its original notification pursuant

to Section 6(a) of the Act. The Department of Justice published a

notice in the Federal Register pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act on

December 9, 1991 (56 FR 64275-64276).

The last notification was filed with the Department on July 1,

1992. A notice was published in the Federal Register on August 19, 1992
