The Energy Policy Act of 2005, 25

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
Secretary of the Interior to provide
grants to assist Indian tribes in the
development of energy resources and
further the goal of Indian selfdetermination.
The Office of Indian Energy and
Economic Development (IEED)
administers and manages the energy
resource development grant program
under the Energy and Minerals
Development Program (EMDP).
Congress may appropriate funds to
EMDP on a year-to-year basis. When
funding is available, IEED may solicit
proposals for energy resource
development projects from Indian tribes
and tribal energy resource development
organizations for use in carrying out
projects to promote the integration of
energy resources, and to process, use or
develop those energy resources on
Indian land. The projects may be in the
areas of exploration, assessment,
development, feasibility, or market
studies. Indian tribes that would like to
apply for an EMDP grant must submit
an application that includes certain
information, and must assist IEED by
providing information in support of any
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) analyses.
II. Request for Comments
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)
requests your comments on this
collection concerning: (a) The necessity
of this information collection for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden (hours and cost)
of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Ways we could enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Ways we could
minimize the burden of the collection of
the information on the respondents.
Please note that an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid
OMB Control Number.
It is our policy to make all comments
available to the public for review at the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment

Case 1:13–cv–00444, Filed 4/8/2013
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 acquisition of
Permian Mud Service, Inc., (‘‘Permian’’),
by Ecolab Inc. (‘‘Ecolab’’), and to obtain
other equitable relief. The United States
complains and alleges as follows:
PO 00000
Frm 00088
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
23291
I. Nature of the Action
1. Ecolab’s acquisition of Permian
would combine the two leading
providers of production chemical
management services for deepwater oil
and gas wells (‘‘deepwater PCMS’’) in
the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (‘‘Gulf’’).
Deepwater PCMS providers design,
produce, and apply specially formulated
chemical solutions to oil or gas wells to
facilitate hydrocarbon production and
protect well infrastructure.
2. Permian’s wholly owned
subsidiary, Champion Technologies,
Inc. (‘‘Champion’’), and Ecolab’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, Nalco
Company (‘‘Nalco’’), are the two largest
suppliers of deepwater PCMS in the
Gulf and vigorously compete head-tohead to win the business of oil and gas
exploration and production companies
(‘‘E&P companies’’). If the transaction is
allowed to proceed, this competition
will be lost and the merged firm will
control approximately 70% of the
market, leading to higher prices,
reduced service quality, and diminished
innovation.
3. Accordingly, as alleged more
specifically below, the acquisition, if
consummated, would likely
substantially lessen competition in
violation of Section 7 of the Clayton
Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 18.
II. The Parties and the Transaction
4. Ecolab is a Delaware corporation
headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Nalco, its wholly-owned subsidiary, is
headquartered in Naperville, Illinois
and supplies the oil and gas industry
with deepwater PCMS through its
Energy Services Division. Ecolab
generated $1.87 billion in revenues from
oil and gas-related products and
services in 2011. Nalco is currently the
largest supplier of deepwater PCMS in
the Gulf.
5. Permian is a Texas corporation
headquartered in Houston, Texas.
Permian provides specialty chemicals
and services to the oil and gas industry
and generated $1.25 billion in revenues
in 2011. Permian’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Champion, is also a Texas
corporation and is currently the second
largest provider of deepwater PCMS in
the Gulf.
6. Pursuant to an agreement dated
October 11, 2012, Ecolab agreed to
purchase Permian for $2.2 billion. The
Defendants amended the Agreement and
Plan of Merger on November 28, 2012
(‘‘First Amendment’’), on November 30,
2012 (‘‘Second Amendment’’) to
exclude certain assets and adjust the
purchase price to $2.16 billion, and
again on December 28, 2012 (‘‘Third
Amendment’’).
