                Antitrust Division
                Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and
                Production Act of 1993--American Society of Mechanical Engineers
                 Notice is hereby given that, on April 22, 2019, pursuant to Section
                6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993,
                15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), the American Society of
                Mechanical Engineers (``ASME'') has filed written notifications
                simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade
                Commission disclosing additions or changes to its standards development
                activities. The notifications were filed
                [[Page 20909]]
                for the purpose of extending the Act's provisions limiting the recovery
                of antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified
                circumstances. Specifically, since September 4, 2018, ASME has
                published two new standards, added one consensus committee charter, and
                initiated five new standards activities within the general nature and
                scope of ASME's standards development activities, as specified in its
                original notification. More detail regarding these changes can be found
                at www.asme.org.
                 On September 15, 2004, ASME 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 October 13, 2004 (69 FR 60895).
                 The last notification with the Attorney General was filed on
                January 28, 2019. A notice was filed in the Federal Register on
                February 12, 2019 (84 FR 3492).
