    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 PCA intends to file additional 
written notification disclosing all changes in membership.
    On January 7, 1985, PCA filed its original notification pursuant to 
Section 6(a) of the Act. The Department of Justice published a notice
