Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and
Production Act of 1933; Petroleum Environmental Research Forum Project
No. 95-04
Notice is hereby given that, on December 30, 1997, pursuant to
Section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of
1933, 15 U.S.C. 4301, et seq. (``the Act''), the participants in the
Petroleum Environmental Research Forum (``PERF'') Project No. 95-04,
titled ``Risk Assessment Cooperative Research Program,'' have filed
written notifications simultaneously with the Attorney General and with
the Federal Trade Commission disclosing (1) the identities of the
parties and (2) the nature and objectives of the Project. 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 current parties in PERF Project No. 95-04
are: American Association of Railroads, Washington, DC; Amoco
Corporation, Naperville, IL; Brookhaven National Laboratory,Upton, NY;
Elf Aquitaine, Washington, DC; Exxon Biomedical Sciences, Inc., East

National Laboratories, Los Alamos, NM; Phillips Petroleum Company,
Bartlesville, OK; Shell Oil Company, Houston, TX; Sandia National
Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM: Texas Group, Inc., Bellaire, TX; and

The nature and objectives of the research program to be performed
in accordance with PERF Project No. 95-04 are aimed at developing/
improving methods, data and models for measuring or estimating the fate
and transport of contaminants in support of risk assessment activities
as applied to site cleanup efforts at petroleum, petrochemical, and
chemical industry facilities. The results should fill gaps in the
science of risk assessment allowing technically defensible and cost
effective measurement or estimation of concentrations at potential
points of exposure to contaminants.
Participation in this project will remain open to interested
persons and organizations until issuance of the final Project Report,
which is presently anticipated to occur approximately May 31, 1998. The
participants intend to file additional written notification(s)
