Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and 
Production Act of 1993--Petroleum Environmental Research Forum Project 
No. 2013-07, Stream Speciation Update

    Notice is hereby given that, on February 23, 2015, pursuant to 
Section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 
1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Petroleum Environmental 
Research Forum Project No. 2013-07, Stream Speciation Update (``PERF 
Project No. 2013-07'') 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: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company, 
Fairfax, VA; Chevron U.S.A., Inc., San Ramon, CA; BP Products North 
America Inc., Naperville, IL; and Shell Global Solutions (US) Inc., 
Houston, TX. The general area of PERF Project No. 2013-07's planned 
activity is, through cooperative research efforts, to explore whether 
sufficient changes in refinery stream compositions have occurred to 
warrant updating the existing PERF report (API, Refinery Stream 
Speciation, Publication Number 4723, November 2002). If justified, the 
project will consider utilizing a combination of Participant data 
already existing (blinded and de-identified) and/or publicly available 
company data to update the existing PERF report.

Director of Civil Enforcement, Antitrust Division.
