Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and 
Production Act of 1993--Advanced Technology Institute (``ATI''): 
National Shipbuilding Research Program (``NSRP'')

    Notice is hereby given that, on April 11, 2000, pursuant to section 
6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 
15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Advanced Technology Institute has 
filed written notifications simultaneously with the Attorney General 
and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing changes in the project 
status of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (``NSRP''). 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 general area 
of planned activity of the NSRP is to establish collaborative research 
efforts of limited duration to manage and focus national shipbuilding 
research and development funding on technologies that will reduce the 
cost of warships to the Navy, and establish U.S. international 
shipbuilding competitiveness. NSRP also provides a collaborative forum 
to improve business and acquisition processes.
    No other changes have been made in either the membership or planned 
activity of the group research project. Membership in this group 
research project remains open, and Advanced Technology Institute: 
National Shipbuilding Research Program intends to file additional 
written notification disclosing all changes in membership.
    On March 13, 1998, Advanced Technology Institute: National 
Shipbuilding Research Program 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 
January 29, 1999 (64 FR 4708).
    The last notification was filed with the Department on January 5, 
2000. A notice has not yet been published in the Federal Register.
