Item 5.04
Notice to Directors and Executive Officers Regarding Blackout Period

On January 7, 2011, Cameron International Corporation (the “Company”) sent a notice to its directors and executive officers notifying them that the Cameron International Corporation Retirement Savings Plan and the Individual Account Retirement Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees at the Cameron International Corporation Buffalo, New York Plant (the “401(k) Plans”) will be entering a blackout period due to a transition of the trustee and recordkeeping services for the 401(k) Plans from Charles Schwab to T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. As a result of this administrative transition, there will be a period of time when certain participants in the 401(k) Plans will be unable to access their accounts to direct or diversify their investments or obtain a loan or distribution from the 401(k) Plans. The blackout period restricts directors and executive officers from, directly or indirectly, acquiring or disposing of any employer securities acquired in connection with service or employment as a director or executive officer, including trades by family members and others closely related.

The Company provided the notice of the blackout period to the directors and executive officers (the “Notice”) in accordance with Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of Regulation BTR.  The Notice stated that the blackout period would begin on February 24, 2011 and end on March 7, 2011. The blackout period may be extended if needed, in which case an updated notice will be given to the directors and executive officers.

During the blackout period and for a period of two years after the ending date of the blackout period, holders of the Company’s common stock and other interested parties may obtain, without charge, the actual beginning and ending dates of the blackout period by sending a written request to Cameron International Corporation, Attention: Human Resources, 1333 West Loop South, Suite 1700, Houston, Texas 77027 or by calling (713) 513-3300.

A copy of the Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
