activity of the group research project. Membership in this group 
research project remains open, and Biosynthesis of Chemical 
Intermediates intends to file additional written notification 
disclosing all changes in membership.
    On July 10, 1998, Biosynthesis of Chemical Intermediates filed its 
original notification pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Act. The
