SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Antitrust Modernization Commission
was established to ‘‘examine whether
the need exists to modernize the
antitrust laws and to identify and study
related issues.’’ Antitrust Modernization

273, § 11053, 116 Stat. 1856. In
conducting its review of the antitrust
laws, the Commission is required to
‘‘solicit the views of all parties
concerned with the operation of the
antitrust laws.’’ Id. By this request for
comments, the Commission seeks to
provide a full opportunity for interested
members of the public to provide input
regarding certain issues selected for
Commission study. From time to time,
the Commission may issue additional
requests for comment on issues selected
for study.
Comments should be submitted in
written form. Comments should identify
the topic to which it relates. Comments
need not address every question within
the topic. Comments exceeding 1500
words should include a brief (less than
250 word) summary. Commenters may
submit additional background materials
(such as articles, data, or other
information) relating to the topic by
separate attachment.
Comments should identify the person
or organization submitting the
comments. If comments are submitted
by an organization, the submission
should identify a contact person within
the organization. Comments should
include the following contact
information for the submitter: an
address, telephone number, and e-mail
address (if available). Comments
submitted to the Commission will be
made available to the public in
accordance with federal laws.
Comments may be submitted either in
hard copy or electronic form. Electronic
submissions may be sent by electronic
mail to comments@amc.gov. Comments
submitted in hard copy should be
delivered to the address specified above,
and should enclose, if possible, a CD–
ROM or a 31⁄2-inch computer diskette
containing an electronic copy of the
comment. The Commission prefers to
receive electronic documents (whether
by e-mail or on CD–ROM/diskette) in
portable document format (.pdf), but
also will accept comments in Microsoft
Word format.
The AMC has issued this request for
comments pursuant to its authorizing
statute and the Federal Advisory
Committee Act. Antitrust Modernization
Commission Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107–
273, § 11053, 116 Stat. 1758, 1856;
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5
U.S.C. App., § 10(a)(3).
should there be a means for
differentiation based on differences in
the severity or culpability of the
behavior?
A. Do the Sentencing Guidelines
provide an adequate method of
distinguishing between violations with
differing degrees of culpability? For
example, should the Sentencing
Guidelines provide distinctions between
different types of antitrust crimes (e.g.,
price fixing versus monopolization)?
B. The Sentencing Guidelines use
20% of the volume of commerce
affected as the starting point for
computation of corporate antitrust fines.
See United States Sentencing
Commission, Guidelines Manual § 2R1.1
(2004). Does the volume of commerce
provide an adequate measure for setting
fines? If not, what other measure(s) or
methods would provide a more
appropriate way for the Guidelines to
establish fine levels?
2. The Sherman Act provides for a
maximum fine of $100 million (or,
previously, $10 million). The
government may seek criminal fines in
excess of that maximum pursuant to 18
U.S.C. 3571(d).
A. Should ‘‘twice the gross gain or
twice the gross loss’’ as provided in
Section 3571(d) be calculated based on
the gain or loss from all coconspirator
sales or on only the defendant’s sales?
B. Should fines above the statutory
maximum, and thus limited by Section
3571(d), be based on 20% of gross sales
as provided for in the Sentencing
Guidelines, as they are for fines below
the statutory maximum, or should they
be calculated differently? If differently,
how should they be calculated?
Dated: August 4, 2005.

Modernization Commission.

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 153 / Wednesday, August 10, 2005 / Notices
Denver, Colorado, grantee of FTZ 123,
requesting special–purpose subzone
status with manufacturing authority (X–
ray film, color paper, digital media,
inkjet paper, and entertainment
imaging) for the facilities of the Eastman
Kodak Company (Kodak), located in
Windsor, Colorado. The application was
submitted pursuant to the Foreign–
Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C.
81a–81u), and the regulations of the
Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally
filed on August 1, 2005.
The facilities for which subzone
status is proposed are on one site (800
acres total; 3.2 million sq. ft. of enclosed
space) located at 9952 Eastman Park
Drive in Windsor, Colorado. The
facilities (approximately 1650 full- and
part–time employees) would be used
initially under FTZ procedures for
manufacturing, processing,
warehousing, and distributing printer
cartridges and thermal media, which
have duty rates ranging from duty–free
to 3.7% ad valorem. For Kodak’s current
manufacturing, foreign–sourced
materials account for approximately 50
percent of finished–product value. The
application lists thermal media (HTSUS
category 3702.44) and film base
(3920.62) as the primary material inputs
which may be sourced from abroad
initially, with duty rates ranging from
3.7% to 4.2%.
The application also requests
authority to include a broad range of
inputs and final products that the plant
may produce under FTZ procedures in
the future within the categories of X–ray
film, color paper, digital media, inkjet
paper, and entertainment imaging (i.e.,
motion picture film, consumer film and
related chemicals). (New major activity
in these inputs/products could require
review by the FTZ Board.) General
HTSUS categories of inputs include:

Kodak would be able to choose the
lower duty rate that applies to the
finished products for foreign
components, when applicable. Kodak
would also be able to avoid duty on
foreign inputs which become scrap/
waste, estimated at five percent of FTZ–
related savings. Kodak may also realize
logistical/procedural and other benefits
from subzone status. All of the above–
cited savings from zone procedures
could help improve the plant’s
international competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff
has been designated examiner to
investigate the application and report to
the Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original

duty-free to 38%.
Zone procedures would exempt Kodak from Customs duty payments on
foreign components used in export production. On its domestic sales,
Kodak would be able to choose the lower duty rate that applies to the
finished products for foreign components, when applicable. Kodak would
also be able to avoid duty on foreign inputs which become scrap/waste,
estimated at five percent of FTZ-related savings. Kodak may also
realize logistical/procedural and other benefits from subzone status.
All of the above-cited savings from zone procedures could help improve
the plant's international competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ
Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and
report to the Board.
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
(original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive
Secretary at one of the following addresses:
1. Submissions Via Express/Package Delivery Services: Foreign-Trade-
Zones Board, U.S. Department of Commerce, Franklin Court Building--

2. Submissions Via the U.S. Postal Service: Foreign-Trade-Zones Board,
U.S. Department of Commerce, FCB--Suite 4100W, 1401 Constitution Ave.
NW., Washington, DC 20230.
The closing period for their receipt is October 11, 2005. Rebuttal
comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to October 24,
2005.
A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be
available for public inspection at the Office of the Foreign-Trade
Zones Board's Executive Secretary at address Number 1 listed above and
at the Denver U.S. Export Assistance Center, 1625 Broadway, Suite 680,

Executive Secretary.
