Act of 1993—Node.js Foundation
Notice is hereby given that, on
January 25, 2018, pursuant to Section
6(a) of the National Cooperative
Research and Production Act of 1993,
15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (‘‘the Act’’),
Node.js Foundation (‘‘Node.js
Foundation’’) has filed written
notifications simultaneously with the
Attorney General and the Federal Trade
Commission disclosing changes in its
membership. The notifications were
filed for the purpose of extending the
Act’s provisions limiting the recovery of
antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages
under specified circumstances.
Specifically, Datreeio Ltd., Tel Aviv,
ISRAEL, has been added as a party to
this venture.
Also, Codefresh, Inc., Palo Alto, CA,
has withdrawn as a party to this
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 Node.js
Foundation intends to file additional
written notifications disclosing all
changes in membership.
On August 17, 2015, Node.js
Foundation 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 September 28,
2015 (80 FR 58297).
The last notification was filed with
the Department on October 26, 2017. A
notice was published in the Federal
Register pursuant to Section 6(b) of the
Act on November 16, 2017 (82 FR
53527).

The National Science
Foundation published a notice on
January 5, 2018, seeking inputs from the
public on establishing space weather
research priorities to address Action

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background Information
On October 29, 2015, the White House
OSTP released the National Space
Weather Strategy (NSWS) and Space
Weather Action Plan (SWAP). The
NSWS identifies several key goals in
specific areas of space weather research
and operations to make the national
critical infrastructure and technologies
resilient to space weather events. The
NSWS also calls for improving national
space-weather services through
advancing fundamental understanding
of the underlying physical processes
and their forecasting. The SWAP
document, which accompanied NSWS,
specifies actions to develop and
continually improve predictive models
through enhanced fundamental
understanding of space weather and its
drivers. In particular, the SWAP Action
5.5.1 directed NSF, NASA, DOC and
DOD with documenting priorities for
research and development (R&D) efforts
to enhance the fundamental
understanding of space weather and its
drivers and to improve space weather
forecasting capabilities.
Action 5.5.1: NSF and NASA, in
collaboration with DOC and DOD, will lead
an annual effort to prioritize and identify
opportunities for research and development

(R&D) to enhance the understanding of space
weather and its sources. These activities will
be coordinated with existing National-level
and scientific studies. This effort will include
modeling, developing, and testing models of
the coupled sun-Earth system and
quantifying the long- and short-term
variability of space weather.
Forecasting space weather depends on
understanding the fundamental
processes that give rise to hazardous
events. Continued support for basic
research in solar and space physics is
essential to achieve the level of
understanding required for accurate
predictions. Particularly important is
the study of processes that link the SunEarth system and that control the flow
of energy within the coupled system.
Space weather science as a discipline
is still in its nascent phase. There exist
significant gaps in the fundamental
understanding of many physical
processes and coupling mechanisms
underpinning various space weather
phenomena. This poses a major limiting
factor for improving space weather
prediction, including some of the most
important and immediate operational
needs. It is, therefore, essential to
continue untargeted investments in
basic research into areas that in
unforeseeable ways can lead to a better
understanding of the physical processes
that drive space weather.
High priority space weather research
topics and linkages to the SWAP
Benchmarks (Goal 1) were assessed by
the 5.5.1 interagency working group.
The SWAP benchmarks are a set of
physical characteristics and conditions
against which a space-weather event can
be measured. They describe the nature
and intensity of extreme space-weather
events, providing a point of reference
from which to improve understanding
of space-weather effects. Addressing
research that would advance our
physical understanding of the
phenomenology behind these
benchmarks will ultimately improve our
predictive capability necessary for
operational advancements.
II. Purpose
Successful execution of Action 5.5.1
requires definitions of research
priorities in the context of benchmarks
identified by NSWS Goal 1. An
interagency working group developed
the first set of priorities in fulfillment of
this task. To ensure that an optimal list
of priorities is generated, which could
benefit all interested parties including
Federal agencies, state and local
governments, universities, policy
groups, and the private sector, the
broader community must weigh in. This
