Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and 
Production Act of 1993--Corporation for Open Systems International

    Notice is hereby given that, on June 21, 1995, pursuant to Section 
6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 
15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Corporation for Open Systems 
International (``COS'') has filed written notifications simultaneously 
with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission reflecting 
changes in certain existing COS Executive Interest Groups (``EIGS'') 
and the termination of an EIG. The notifications were filed for the 
purpose of extending the Act's provisions limiting the recovery of 
antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified circumstances. 
There are changes in three EIGS. First, the changes in the 
organizations participating in SONET Interoperability Forum (``The 
Forum''), an existing COS EIG, are as follows: Motorola, Inc., 
currently a COS member, became a member of The Forum, effective March 
31, 1995; SunSoft, a division of Sun Microsystems, Mountain View, CA, 
became an Associate of The forum, effective May 17, 1995; Retix, an 
Associate of the Forum, transferred its membership to its subsidiary, 
Telegenics, Santa Monica, CA, effective April 19, 1995. Second, AT&T, a 
current COS member, became a member of Digital Video Home Terminal DVHT 
EIG, effective April 16, 1995. Third, the X.500 Integration Pilot 
Project, which was a COS EIG, was completed and terminated effective 
March 31, 1995.
    No other changes have been made in either the membership or planned 
activity of COS. Membership in COS remains open, and COS intends to 
file additional written notifications disclosing all changes in 
membership.
    On May 14, 1986, COS 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 June 11, 
1986 (51 FR 21260).
    The last notification was filed with the Department on March 31, 
1995. A notice was published in the Federal Register pursuant to 
Section 6(b) of the Act on June 28, 1995 (60 FR 33431).
