In this paper, we report the progress of the Tevatron Beam-Beam Compensation (BBC) project [1] . Proton and antiproton tuneshifts of the order of 0.009 induced by electron beam have been reported in [2], suppression of an antiproton emittance growth in the Tevatron High Energy Physics (HEP) store has been observed, too [1]. Currently, the first electron lens (TEL1) is in operational use as the Tevatron DC beam cleaner. Over the last two years, we have greatly improved its reliability. The 2nd
