    Notice is hereby given that, on January 6, 2025, pursuant to 
section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 
1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Cooperative Research Group 
Corrosion Under Insulation--Phase 2 (CUI--Phase 2) 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: Conoco Phillips Company, Houston, TX; Nanotech 
Inc., Houston, TX; Armancell Engineered Systems Ltd., London, UNITED 
KINGDOM; The Sherwin Williams Company, Cleveland, OH; PPG Industries, 
Incorporated, Pittsburgh, PA; International Paint LLC, Houston, TX; 
Superior Products International II, Inc., Shawnee, KS; Promat

general area of CUI--Phase 2's planned activities are to test the 
performance of protective coating and insulation products including 
insulative coatings using the TM21442 test method and a variant of that 
approach. In addition to the laboratory and field activities, Phase 2 
CUI JIP will be used to test, in laboratory setups, promising CUI 
sensing technologies suitable for CUI monitoring. These preliminary 
tests will investigate and compare the performance of a range of CUI 
sensors using the test methodologies proposed above. The CUI Phase 2 
JIP shall focus on four primary technical tasks as follows: performance 
testing of CUI Protective Coating/Insulation Systems; performance 
evaluation of CUI Insulative Coatings; performance evaluation of CUI 
Insulative Coatings; and preliminary evaluation of CUI Sensors.
