1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), American Society of 
Mechanical Engineers (``ASME'') has filed written notifications

specified in its original notification. More detail regarding these 
changes can be found at www.asme.org.
    On September 15, 2004, ASME filed its original notification

published a notice in the Federal Register pursuant to Section 6(b) of 
the Act on October 13, 2004 (69 FR 60895).
