Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and 
Production Act of 1993--Cooperative Research Group on Energy Storage 
System Evaluation and Safety II

    Notice is hereby given that, on September 21, 2016, 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--Cooperative Research Group on Energy Storage System 
Evaluation and Safety II (``EssES-II'') 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: Allison Transmission, Inc., Indianapolis, IN; BAE 
Systems, Johnson City, NY; Deere & Company, Moline, IL; Tata Motors 
European Technical Centre (TMETC), London, United Kingdom; and 
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., Northbrook, IL. The general area of 
EssES-II's planned activity is to develop detailed cell level data on 
current or near market technology across a diverse number of 
manufacturers to allow a relative comparison between available 
technologies. The program will provide performance, life, abuse and 
consistency of manufacturing test data for member-selected systems in a 
private, independent third party laboratory format (non-governmental). 
This will provide members with the data required to assess the 
pertinent performance characteristics of various battery topologies, 
chemistries and manufacturers to assist in the selection of cells for a 
vehicular or stationary energy storage system. Additionally, the level 
of data and the detail in which it is provided will be sufficient to 
aid in the development of models, pack integration work and thermal 
management strategy development.

Director of Civil Enforcement, Antitrust Division.
