company of approximately 31
residential properties containing
approximately 34 units located in
Minnesota, (‘‘Subject Properties’’). The
claims were brought on behalf of the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development, (‘‘HUD’’), and the
Environmental Protection Agency
(‘‘EPA’’) under the Residential LeadBased Paint Hazard Reduction Act 42
U.S.C. 4851 et seq. (‘‘Lead Hazard
Reduction Act’’). The United States
alleged in the complaint that the
Defendant failed to make one or more of
the disclosures or to complete one or
more of the disclosure activities
required by the Lead Hazard Reduction
Act.
Under the Consent Decree, Defendant
will certify that he is complying with
residential lead paint notification
requirements. In addition, Defendant
shall pay a civil penalty to the United
States of $5,000 within 30 days of entry
of the Consent Decree and an additional
$5,000 civil penalty within seven
months after entry of the Consent
Decree. Defendant has agreed to develop
a Hazard Reduction Plan for the Subject
Properties and will replace all painted
windows and abate all lead-based paint
hazards within 2 years after approval of
the Hazard Reduction Plan. Hazard
abatement for at least one-half of the
total inventory of Subject Properties is
to be completed within each year. If the
Defendant learns that a child with
elevated blood lead levels lives or
frequently visits a subject unit, the
hazard abatement work on that unit is
to be accomplished within 5 months.
The Defendant is also required to
submit annual reports on the progress of
the hazard abatement work. In addition,
on-going operations and maintenance
shall be implemented at the completion
of any window replacement or hazard
reduction work. The Consent Decree
provides for stipulated penalties for
failure to meet obligations under the
Consent Decree. Under the Consent
Decree the United States provides the
Defendant with a covenant not to sue or
to take administartive action arising out
of violations of Section 1018 at the
Subject Properties.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the

United States filed a Complaint alleging
that the proposed acquisition by Exelon
Corporation (‘‘Exelon’’) of Public
Service Enterprise Group Incorporated
(‘‘PSEG’’) would violate Section 7 of the
Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18. The
Complaint alleges that the acquisition
would reduce competition substantially
for wholesale electricity in the MidAtlantic United States. Specifically, the
Complaint alleges that Exelon’s
acquisition of PSEG’s electric generation
assets would enhance Exelon’s ability
and incentive to raise wholesale
electricity prices, resulting in increased
retail electricity prices for millions of
residential, commercial, and industrial
customers. The proposed Final

Complaint
The United States of America, acting

Incorporated (‘‘PSEG’’) and alleges as
follows:
PO 00000
Frm 00067
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
49477
1. On December 20, 2004, Exelon
entered into an agreement to merge with
PSEG. The transaction would create one
of the largest electricity companies in
the United States, with total assets of
$79 billion and annual revenues of $27
billion.
2. Exelon and PSEG compete to sell
wholesale electricity throughout the
Mid-Atlantic and in Illinois, North
Carolina, West Virginia, and Ohio.
3. Exelon and PSEG are the two
largest electricity firms in the area
encompassing central and eastern
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, the
District of Columbia, and parts of
Maryland and Virginia. Together, they
would account for more than 35 percent
of the electric generating capacity in this
area and would have wholesale
electricity revenues of approximately
$4 billion.
4. In the eastern portion of this area,
which includes the densely populated
northern New Jersey and Philadelphia
areas, Exelon and PSEG together would
account for more than 45 percent of the
electric generating capacity in this area
and would have wholesale electricity
revenues of approximately
$3 billion.
5. Exelon’s merger with PSEG would
eliminate competition between them
and give the merged firm the incentive
and the ability to raise wholesale
electricity prices, resulting in increased
retail electricity prices for millions of
residential, commercial, and industrial
customers in these areas.
6. Accordingly, the merger would
substantially lessen competition in
violation of Section 7 of the Clayton
Act, 15 U.S.C. 18.
I. Jurisdiction and Venue
7. This action is filed by the United
States under Section 15 of the Clayton
Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 25, to
prevent and restrain Defendants from
violating Section 7 of the Clayton Act,
15 U.S.C. 18.
8. Exelon and PSEG are engaged in
interstate commerce and in activities
substantially affecting interstate
commerce. The Court has jurisdiction
over this action and the parties pursuant
to Sections 15 and 16 of the Clayton
Act, 15 U.S.C. 25, 26; and 28 U.S.C.
1331, 1337.
9. Exelon and PSEG transact business
and are found in the District of
Columbia. Venue is proper under
Section 12 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C.
22; and 28 U.S.C. 1391(c).
II. The Defendants and the Transaction
10. Defendant Exelon is a
Pennsylvania corporation, with its
headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. Exelon
