P/2001 J1 (NEAT) and 3D/Biela   Message List

Î found interesting news on IAUC 7635:

COMET P/2001 J1 (NEAT)
As hinted on IAUC 7625, this is a short-period comet, and
observations by C. W. Hergenrother, T. B. Spahr, and M. Nelson with
the 1.8-m f/1 VATT Lennon telescope on May 27 make it clear that
the orbital period is $P$ about 7.5-7.9 years. Spahr has also
identified the comet with a very faint object (not described as
cometary) discovered by A. E. Gleason with the Spacewatch telescope
on 2000 Oct. 7 and placed on The NEO Confirmation Page but removed
on Oct. 20 for lack of follow-up. The additional astrometry and
orbital elements ($P$ = 7.64 yr) are given on MPEC 2001-K43. S.
Nakano has noted some rough similarity to the orbit of comet
3D/Biela.

The latter sentence made me corious and I found
this interesting page about 3D/Biela on the web:

http://comets.amsmeteors.org/comets/pcomets/003d.html

Is there a chance that P/2001 J1 (NEAT) is a component
of 3D/Biela ? Or am I getting something wrong ?
