Protocol
Notice is hereby given that, on March
6, 2008, pursuant to 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 Development and Evaluation of a Gas
Chromatograph Testing Protocol
(‘‘GCTP’’) 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 parties to the
venture are: ABE Inc., Totalflow
Products, Bartlesville, OK; Chevron
Pipeline, Houston, TX; Operations
Technology Development, Des Plains,
IL; Questar Gas Company, Salt Lake
City, UT; KeySpan Energy, Hicksville,
NY; APGA Research Foundation, Mesa,
AZ; Southern California Gas Company,
Los Angeles, CA; NiCor Gas, Naperville,
IL; Consolidated Edison Company of
New York Inc., New York, NY; Pacific
Gas & Electric Co., Walnut Creek, CA;
and TransCanada Pipelines Ltd, Calgary,
Alberta, Canada.
The general area of GCTP’s planned
activity is to develop a performance test
protocol for gas chromatographs (‘‘GCs’’)
used by the natural gas industry. A test
procedure will be created and evaluated
through tests of multiple brands of GCs
in controlled experiments. Findings will
be provided to the American Petroleum
Institute for use in developing a test
protocol for general use. The general
protocol will help users in the natural
gas industry to define test conditions for
their own performance evaluations.
With this protocol, industry users can

of units by custody transfer parties and
regulatory agencies, such as BLM, MMS,
PHMSA, or state regulatory bodies.
Membership in this research group
remains open, and the participants
intend to file additional written
