Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and Production Act

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,
TX; and Phillips Petroleum Company, Sweeny, TX. The nature and
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 NOX 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
