DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Antitrust Division

Notice Pursuant to the National

Cooperative Research and Production

Act of 1993—General Motors

Corporation: Restraints Deployment

Bus Working Group

Notice is hereby given that, on

October 7, 1999, pursuant to Section

6(a) of the National Cooperative

Research and Production Act of 1993,

15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (‘‘the Act’’),

General Motors Corporation has filed

written notifications simultaneously

with the Attorney General and the

Federal Trade Commission disclosing

(1) the identities of the parties 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 are General Motors

Corporation, Detroit, MI; Chrysler

Corporation, Auburn Hills; MI; and Ford

Motor Company, Dearborn, MI. The

nature and objectives of the venture are

to research ways to transfer some

electronics from the airbag control

module to the airbag igniters. It is

expected that the igniters will be able to

diagnose their health better than the

control module is able to do today. It is

also expected that the system will

become much more robust against

wiring issues that are a primary issue

with today’s technology. To accomplish

this objective, the parties are working

together and with various potential

suppliers to develop this technology.

The parties expect to share the

information generated with other

suppliers and vehicle manufacturers in

the future. To accomplish this objective,

the parties will perform acts allowed by

the National Cooperative Research and

Production Act that would advance

these goals.
