Notice of Lodging Proposed Consent Decree, 19249-19250 [E8-7270]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 69 / Wednesday, April 9, 2008 / Notices Public Law 108–430 was passed by Congress and signed by the President in December 2004. This Act expanded Petrified Forest National Park boundaries by approximately 125,000 acres, and directed the NPS to prepare a management plan for the new park lands within three years. Planning for the new lands is the focus of this GMP amendment and associated EIS. The GMP amendment will establish the overall direction for park addition lands, setting broad management goals for the area for the next 15 to 20 years. Among the topics that will be addressed are protection of natural and cultural resources, protection of riparian resources, appropriate range of visitor uses, impacts of visitor uses, adequacy of park infrastructure, visitor access to the park additions area, education and interpretive efforts, and external pressures on the park. Management zones that were established in the current GMP will be applied to addition lands. These zones outline the kinds of resource management activities, visitor activities, and developments that would be appropriate in the addition lands. A range of reasonable alternatives for managing the park, including a noaction alternative and a preferred alternative, will be developed through the planning process and included in the EIS. The EIS will evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the alternatives. As the first phase of the planning and EIS process, the National Park Service is beginning to scope the issues to be addressed in the GMP amendment. All interested persons, organizations, and agencies are encouraged to submit comments and suggestions regarding the issues or concerns the GMP amendment should address, including a suitable range of alternatives and appropriate mitigating measures, and the nature and extent of potential environmental impacts. Written comments on the scope of the GMP amendment/EIS will be accepted for 60 days beyond the publication of this Notice of Intent. In addition, a public scoping session will be held in Holbrook, Arizona in the Spring of 2008. The location, date, and time of this meeting will be provided in local and regional newspapers, and on the Internet at https://parkplanning/ nps.gov/pefo.

On March 5, 2008, the United States filed a Complaint alleging that the proposed merger between Altivity Packaging LLC (‘‘Altivity’’) and Graphic Packaging International, Inc. would violate section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18. The Complaint alleges that the acquisition would substantially reduce competition for the production, distribution, and sale of coated recycled boxboard (‘‘CRB’’) in the United States. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the merger would enhance the merged firm’s ability and incentive to reduce their combined CRB output and anticompetitively raise CRB prices in the United States. The proposed Final Judgment, filed at the same time as the Complaint, requires the parties to divest two Altivity CRB mills in Wasbash, Indiana and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. If divestiture of the Philadelphia mill is not accomplished, the proposed settlement requires the sale of Altivity’s Santa Clara, California CRB mill in the alternative. A Competitive Impact Statement filed by the United States describes the Complaint, the proposed Final Judgment, and the remedies available to private litigants who may have been injured by the alleged violation.

Case: I:08–cv–00400. Assigned to: Sullivan, Emmet G. Assign. Date: 3/5/2008. Description: Antitrust. Complaint The United States of America, acting under the direction of the Attorney General of the United States, brings this civil action to enjoin the proposed merger of Graphic Packaging International, Inc. (‘‘Graphic’’) and Altivity Packaging, LLC (‘‘Altivity’’). The United States alleges as follows: I. Nature of the Action 1. On July 10, 2007, Altivity and Graphic announced plans to combine their businesses in a transaction valued at $1.75 billion. Altivity and Graphic are respectively the first and fourth largest producers of coated recycled boxboard (‘‘CRB’’) in the United States and Canada (hereinafter, ‘‘North America’’). CRB is a type of paperboard used to make folding cartons used in consumer and commercial packaging, such as cereal boxes. Both companies are also major integrated producers of folding cartons made from CRB (hereinafter, ‘‘CRB folding cartons’’). The total annual volume of CRB supplied to the packaging industry in North America is valued at approximately $1.6 billion. 2. The proposed merger of Graphic and Altivity would create a single firm in control of approximately 42 percent of the total supply of CRB in North America and would likely result in increased prices of CRB. The resulting increases in CRB prices would have the further effect of increasing the prices of CRB folding cartons. 3. Unless the transaction is enjoined, the proposed merger of Graphic and Altivity would likely substantially lessen competition in the supply of CRB in North America, in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18. II. Jurisdiction and Venue 4. The United States brings this action 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. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to Section 15 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 25 and 28 U.S.C. 1331, 1337(a), and 1345. 5. Graphic and Altivity produce and sell CRB and CRB folding cartons in the flow of interstate commerce, and their production and sale of CRB and CRB E:\FR\FM\09APN1.SGM 09APN1
