further the state of the art in the area of warheads and energetics 
needed to develop and transition new technologies into weapon systems 
to support the advancement of future war fighting. NWEC is a consortium 
of companies and academic institutions brought together to enhance the 
warfighter's lethality and survivability by leveraging the nation's 
industrial and academic research and development bases to advance and 
expand our military technological superiority in critical fields of 
warheads, explosives, propellants, pyrotechnics, fuze/sensors, 
demilitarization, enabling technologies, and insensitive munitions.
    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 NWEC intends to file additional 
written notifications disclosing all changes in membership.
    On May 2, 2000 NWEC 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 June 30,
