Performance and Durability

    Notice is hereby given that, on February 6, 2018, pursuant to 
Section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of

Institute--Cooperative Research Group on Particle Sensor Performance 
and Durability (``PSPD-II'') has filed written notifications

withdrawn as a party to this venture.
    No other changes have been made in either the membership or planned 
activity of the group research project. Membership in this group 
research project remains open, and PSPD-II intends to file additional 
written notifications disclosing all changes in membership.
