NEW COMET NAMES AND NEW NUMBERINGS OF SHORT-PERIOD COMETS
     Further to CBET 5586, the following permanent numbers have been assigned
to short-period comets based upon their being securely observed at multiple
returns to perihelion.

                             Discovery/Recovery
Designation/Name           Provisional Designations                   Reference

504P/WISE-PANSTARRS        P/2010 LH_155                              CBET 5540
505P/Palomar               P/2009 KF_37                               CBET 5543
506P/WISE-LINEAR           P/2010 KG_43 = P/2010 PT_8                 CBET 5546
507P/Lemmon                P/2007 SA_24                               CBET 5548

In addition to 504P, 505P, and 506P now receiving names by the Working Group
on Small Bodies Nomenclature of the IAU, three long-period comets have also
received names:

Designation/Name                     Reference
C/2012 KA_51 (Palomar)               CBET 5549
