    Notice is hereby given that, on October 19, 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''), the American Society of 
Mechanical Engineers (``ASME'') has filed written notifications 
simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade 
Commission disclosing additions or changes to its standards development

actual damages under specified circumstances. Specifically, since May 
18, 2015, ASME has established one new consensus committee, disbanded 
one consensus committee, published two new standards, initiated three

the general nature and scope of ASME's standards development 
activities, as 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 
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 October 13, 2004 (69 FR 60895).
    The last notification was filed with the Department on May 20, 
2015. A notice was published in the Federal Register pursuant to 
Section 6(b) of the Act on June 30, 2015 (80 FR 37302).
