    Notice is hereby given that, on July 12, 1994, pursuant to Section 
6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 
15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Southwest Research Institute 
(``SwRI'') filed written notification simultaneously with the Attorney 
General and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing (1) The identities 
of the parties to (2) the nature and objectives of the program. 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 are Gas Research Institute, Chicago,

under its prime contract number DE-AC05-840RZ1400 with the United 
States Department of Energy; and its general areas of planned 
activities center on assessment of the long-term durability of all-
composite cylinders used for compressed natural gas (CNG) storage in 
natural gas vehicles (NGV) to resist degradation due to NGV service 
environment and the permeation of the stored CNG through the 
performance of baseline qualifications test on all-composite cylinders; 
the evaluation of durability of the composite overwrap and plastic 
liner; the characterization of the evolution of damage in all-composite 
cylinders through NDE techniques; the evaluation of impact damage 
caused during typical service conditions of mounted cylinders on NGV's; 
and the integration and presentation of the data collected.
