Federal Register Notice
Notice is hereby given pursuant to the
Defense Production Act of 1950, 50
U.S.C. App. § 2158 (‘‘DPA’’) that the
Attorney General finds that the purpose
of a Voluntary Tanker Agreement
(‘‘VTA’’) proposed by the Maritime
Administration (‘‘MarAd’’) may not
reasonably be achieved through a
voluntary agreement or plan of action
having less anticompetitive effects or
without any voluntary agreement of
plan of action. The text of the proposed
VTA was published in Volume 72 of the
Federal Register at pages 41099–41103
(July 26, 2007).
Under the DPA, MarAd may enter
into agreements with representatives of
private industry for the purpose of
improving the efficiency with which
private firms contribute to the national
defense when conditions exist that may
pose a direct threat to the national
defense or its preparedness. Such
arrangements are generally known as
‘‘voluntary agreements.’’ A defense to
actions brought under the antitrust laws
is available to each participant acting
within the scope of a voluntary
agreement that has come into force
under the DPA.
The DPA requires that each proposed
voluntary agreement be reviewed by the
Attorney General prior to becoming
effective. If, after consulting with the
Chairman of the Federal Trade
Commission, the Attorney General finds
that the purpose of the DPA ‘‘may not
be reasonably achieved through a
voluntary agreement having less
anticompetitive effects or without any
voluntary agreement or plan of action,’’
the agreement may become effective. 50
U.S.C. App. § 2158(f)(1)(B). The
Attorney General’s authority is
delegated to the Assistant Attorney
General for the Antitrust Division by 28
CFR 0.40(e).
The purpose of the proposed VTA is
to support Department of Defense
(‘‘DoD’’) contingency requirements to
provide tanker capacity during times of
crisis through procedures agreed in
advance. The proposed VTA establishes
the terms, conditions and procedures
under which participants agree
voluntarily to make tankers available to

the DoD. MarAd has certified that the
proposed VTA is necessary to carry out
its purpose.
MarAd requested that the Antitrust
Division issue a finding that the
proposed VTA satisfies the statutory
criteria set forth in 50 U.S.C. App. § 21
58(f)(1)(B). The Antitrust Division
reviewed the proposed agreement,
attended an open meeting of interested
persons pursuant to the requirements of
44 CFR 332.2, and consulted with the
Chairman of the Federal Trade
Commission as to the competitive effect
of the proposed agreement. On July 23,
2008, by letter to Sean T. Connaughton,
Maritime Administrator for MarAd,
Thomas O. Barnett, Assistant Attorney
General for the Antitrust Division,
issued a finding that the proposed
agreement satisfies the statutory criteria.

Director of Operations, Antitrust Division.
