Notice Pursuant to the National
Cooperative Research and Production
Act of 1993—ASTM International
Standards
Notice is hereby given that, on
September 12, 2016, pursuant to Section
6(a) of the National Cooperative
Research and Production Act of 1993,
15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (‘‘the Act’’),
ASTM International (‘‘ASTM’’) has filed
written notifications simultaneously
with the Attorney General and the
Federal Trade Commission disclosing

of extending the Act’s provisions
limiting the recovery of antitrust
plaintiffs to actual damages under
specified circumstances. Specifically,
ASTM has provided an updated list of
current, ongoing ASTM standards
activities originating between May 2016
and September 2016 designated as Work
Items. A complete list of ASTM Work
Items, along with a description of each,
is available at https://www.astm.org.
On September 15, 2004, ASTM 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

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: Allison Transmission, Inc.,
Indianapolis, IN; BAE Systems, Johnson
City, NY; Deere & Company, Moline, IL;
Tata Motors European Technical Centre
(TMETC), London, United Kingdom;
and Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.,
Northbrook, IL. The general area of
EssES–II’s planned activity is to develop
detailed cell level data on current or
near market technology across a diverse
number of manufacturers to allow a
relative comparison between available
technologies. The program will provide
performance, life, abuse and consistency
of manufacturing test data for memberselected systems in a private,
independent third party laboratory
format (non-governmental). This will
provide members with the data required
to assess the pertinent performance
characteristics of various battery
topologies, chemistries and
manufacturers to assist in the selection
of cells for a vehicular or stationary
energy storage system. Additionally, the
level of data and the detail in which it
is provided will be sufficient to aid in
the development of models, pack
integration work and thermal
management strategy development.
