Also, Syngenta Crop Protection Corp., Greensboro, NC has transferred 
the membership formerly held by Zeneca, Inc., Wilmington, DE to 
Chemical Products Technologies, L.L.C., Cartersville, GA.
    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 the Spray Drift Task Force intends 
to file additional written notification disclosing all changes in 
membership.

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 July 5, 1990 (55 FR 27701).
