Amoco plc and remains a party to the 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 E&P Technology Cooperative intends 
to file additional written notification disclosing all changes in 
membership.
    On June 6, 1996, E&P Technology Cooperative 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 June 28, 1996 (61 FR 33774).
