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 Separation Technology Research 
Program--Phase 2 (``STAR--Phase 2'') 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 party to 
the venture are: Amistco Separation Products, Inc. d/b/a AMACS Process 
Tower Internals (AMACS), Houston, TX; Chevron Energy Technology Co., a 
Division of Chevron USA, Inc., Houston, TX; Costacurta S.p.A.-VICO, 
Milano, ITALY; ExxonMobil Upstream Research Co., Spring, TX; Frames 
Separation Technologies B.V., Utrecht, THE NETHERLANDS; KGGP, LLC, 
Wichita, KS; Linde AF--Linde Engineering Division, Pullach, GERMANY; 
Mueller Environmental Design, Inc., Brookshire, TX; Single Buoy

    The general area of STAR--Phase 2's planned activity is to 
systematically test separation equipment and increase fundamental 
knowledge in phase separation. This will be accomplished by conducting 
studies on phase separation that can lead to the collection of data on 
equipment performance, which in turn can be used for driving separator 
design improvements and operational decisions.
