Response of the United States to Public
Comments on the Proposed Final
Judgment
Pursuant to the requirements of the
Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act,
15 U.S.C. 16(b)–(h) (‘‘APPA’’ or
‘‘Tunney Act’’), the United States
hereby responds to five public
comments received regarding the
proposed Final Judgment in this case.
After careful consideration of the five
comments, the United States continues
to believe that the proposed Final
Judgment will provide an effective and
appropriate remedy for the antitrust
violations alleged in the Complaint. The
United States will move the Court for
entry of the proposed Final Judgment
after the public comments and this
Response have been published in the
Federal Register, pursuant to 15 U.S.C.
16(d).
I. Procedural History
On December 3, 2008, the United
States and the State of California,
Commonwealth of Kentucky, State of
Michigan, State of North Carolina, State
of Ohio, Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, and State of Texas (the
‘‘States’’) filed the Complaint in this ma
tter, alleging that defendant Republic
Services, Inc.’s (‘‘Republic’’) acquisition
of defendant Allied Waste Industries,
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
28527
Inc. (‘‘Allied’’), if permitted to proceed,
would combine two of only a few
significant providers of small container
commercial waste collection or
municipal solid waste (‘‘MSW’’)
disposal services in several markets in
violation of Section 7 of the Clayton
Act, 15 U.S.C. 18. Simultaneously, the
United States filed a proposed Final
Judgment and a Hold Separate
Stipulation and Order signed by the
United States, the States and the
defendants consenting to the entry of
the proposed Final Judgment after
compliance with the requirements of the
APPA.
Pursuant to those requirements, a
Competitive Impact Statement (‘‘CIS’’)
also was filed in this Court on December
3, 2008; the proposed Final Judgment
and CIS were published in the Federal
Register on December 16, 2008, see 73
FR 76,383 (2008); and a summary of the
terms of the proposed Final Judgment
and CIS, together with directions for the
submission of written comments
relating to the proposed Final Judgment,
was published for seven days in The
Washington Post on December 31, 2008
through January 6, 2009. The defendants
filed the statement required by 15 U.S.C.
16(g) on April 24, 2009. The 60-day
public comment period ended on March
9, 2009; five comments were received,
as described below and attached hereto.
II. The Investigation and Proposed
Resolution
After Republic and Allied announced
their plans to merge, the United States
Department of Justice (the ‘‘United
States’’) conducted an extensi ve
investigation into the competitive
effects of the proposed transaction. As
part of this investigation, the United
States obtained documents and
information from the merging parties
and others and conducted more than
600 interviews with customers,
competitors, and other individuals
knowledgeable about the industry. The
investigative staff carefully analyzed the
information provided and thoroughly
considered all of the issues presented.
The United States considered the
potential competitive effects of the
transaction on small container
commercial waste collection or MSW
disposal services in a number of
geographic areas, obtaining information
about these services and these areas
from market participants. The United
States concluded that the combination
of Republic and Allied likely would
lessen competition in small container
commercial waste collection or MSW
disposal services in 15 separate
geographic markets.
