Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and 
Production Act of 1993--Integrated Photonics Institute for 
Manufacturing Innovation Operating Under the Name of the American 
Institute for Manufacturing Integrated Photonics

    Notice is hereby given that, on June 16, 2016, pursuant to Section 
6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 
15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), the Integrated Photonics 
Institute for Manufacturing Innovation operating under the name of the 
American Institute for Manufacturing Integrated Photonics (``AIM 
Photonics''), has filed written notifications simultaneously with the 
Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing (1) the 
identities of the parties to the venture and (2) the nature and 
objectives of the venture. The notifications were filed for the purpose 
of invoking the Act's provisions limiting the recovery of antitrust 
plaintiffs to actual damages under specified circumstances.
    Pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act, the identities of the parties 
to the venture are: The Research Foundation for the State University of 
New York, acting on behalf of the State University of New York

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA; Arizona Board of 
Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ; The Rector 
and Visitors of the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA; and 
SunEdison Semiconductor Limited, St. Peters, MO.
    The general area of AIM Photonics' planned activity is research, 
development and demonstration in the manufacture of integrated 
photonics. AIM Photonics seeks to (1) advance integrated photonic 
circuit manufacturing technology development while simultaneously 
providing access to state-of-the-art fabrication, packaging, and 
testing capabilities for commercial enterprises, academia and the 
government; (2) create an adaptive integrated photonic circuit 
workforce capable of meeting industry needs and thus further increasing 
domestic competitiveness; and (3) meet participating commercial, 
defense and civilian agency needs in this burgeoning technology area. 
AIM Photonics became the sixth Institute for Manufacturing Innovation. 
Its objective is to increase manufacturing in the United States.
