Production Act of 1993--Petroleum Environmental Research Forum

    Notice is hereby given that, on October 25, 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''), the Petroleum Environmental 
Research Forum (``PERF'') filed written notifications simultaneously 
with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing a 
change in the statement of the nature and objectives of the joint 
venture. 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. Specifically, the 
notifications stated that the wording of the Charter of PERF Article 
II, paragraphs A and B shall read as follows:
    A. To provide a stimulus to and mechanism for cooperative research 
and development of technology related to any aspect of health, 
environment, safety, waste reduction, and system integrity for the 
petroleum industry.
    B. To provide a forum for the presentation and consideration of 
proposals for industry projects related to any aspect of health, 
environment, safety, waste reduction, and system integrity for funding 
by Members of the organization and non-Members alike.
    No other changes have been made in either the membership or planned 
activities of PERF. Membership in PERF remains open, and PERF intends 
to file additional written notifications disclosing all changes in 
membership.
    On February 10, 1986, PERF 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 
March 14, 1986, (51 FR 8903).
    The last notification of change in membership was filed with the 
Department on March 1, 1995. A notice was published in the Federal 
Register pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act on April 27, 1995, (60 FR
