Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and Production Act 
of 1993--Petroleum Environmental Research Forum (``PERF'') Project No. 
2000-03

    Notice is hereby given that, on June 18, 2001, pursuant to Section 
6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 
15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Petroleum Environmental Research 
Forum (``PERF'') Project No. 2000-3 has filed written notifications 
simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade 
Commission disclosing (1) the identities of the parties 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 are 
Amoco Oil Company, Naperville, IL; Equilon Enterprises LLC, Houston,

objectives of the venture are to establish a joint effort to test next-

5-10 ppm range in a refinery process heater and to assist in the 
acceleration of burner vendors' commercial development of these burners 
by observing flame interaction, heat flux, tramp air, and other effects 
on NO<INF>X</INF> emissions. The activities to be carried out include 
the collection, exchange, and analysis of commercial unit data, and 
development of correlations or other predictive methods based on 
available or readily measurable variables.
    Participation in this project will remain open until the 
termination of the Agreement for PERF Project No. 2000-03, and the 
participants intend to file additional written notification disclosing 
all changes in membership of the project. Information regarding
