Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and 
Production Act of 1993--Global Climate and Energy Project

    Notice is hereby given that, on November 22, 2017, pursuant to 
Section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 
1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Global Climate and Energy 
Project (``GCEP'') has filed written notifications simultaneously with 
the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing

the purpose of extending the Act's provisions limiting the recovery of 
antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified circumstances. 
Specifically, the members of GCEP have amended the agreement between 
them to change the nature and objectives of GCEP by extending the 
termination of GCEP from August 31, 2018, to August 31, 2019, modifying 
the work descriptions of GCEP, and revising the payment obligations of 
the members.
    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 GCEP intends to file additional 
written notifications disclosing all changes in membership.
    On March 12, 2003, GCEP 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 April 4, 
2003 (68 FR 16552).
    The last notification was filed with the Department on August 17, 
2015. A notice was published in the Federal Register pursuant to 
Section 6(b) of the Act on September 29, 2015 (80 FR 58504).
