(cognizable and plausible) efficiency
justification for the restraint.4
Here, the Commission finds reason to
believe that the athlete non-compete
agreement and the employee noncompete agreement serve no procompetitive purpose. More specifically,
these restraints are not reasonably
necessary for the formation or efficient
operation of the marketing collaboration
¨
between Marker Volkl and Tecnica.
That the restraints are, at a minimum,
overbroad is demonstrated by the fact
that the agreements adversely affect
competition for—and the compensation
available to—athletes and employees
who have no relationship with the
collaboration.5 Further, Respondents
cannot plausibly claim that the
restraints serve to align the incentives of
the companies in a manner that
promotes the cognizable efficiency goals
of their collaboration. Rather, the ski
businesses of Tecnica (the Nordica and
Blizzard brands) were at all times
outside of and apart from the
collaboration.6 In sum, the Respondents
did not provide evidence demonstrating
¨
why Marker Volkl and Tecnica cannot
cooperate in the marketing of certain ski
products, yet at the same time compete
for the services of endorsers and
employees.
The athlete non-compete agreement
and the employee non-compete
¨
agreement serve to protect Marker Volkl
and Tecnica from the rigors of
competition, with no advantage to
consumer welfare. The justifications for
the non-compete agreements proffered
by the Respondents were neither
supported by the evidence nor
cognizable under the antitrust laws.
Because there is no plausible and
cognizable efficiency rationale for the
non-compete agreements, these
inherently suspect agreements
constitute unreasonable restraints on
trade, and are properly judged to be
illegal.
III. The Proposed Orders
The proposed Orders are designed to
remedy the unlawful conduct charged
against Respondents in the Complaints
and to prevent the recurrence of such
conduct.
The proposed Orders enjoin Marker
¨
Volkl and Tecnica from, directly or
indirectly, entering into, or attempting
to enter into, an agreement with a ski
equipment competitor to forbear from

competing for U.S. athletes to sign
endorsement contracts for the
company’s ski equipment. The proposed
¨
Orders also enjoin Marker Volkl and
Tecnica from entering into an agreement
with a ski equipment competitor to
forbear from competing for the services
of any U.S. employee. A proviso to the
cease and desist requirements allows
reasonable restraints ancillary to a
legitimate joint venture.
The proposed Orders will expire in 20
years.
By direction of the Commission.

Secretary.

FINANCIAL STABILITY OVERSIGHT
COUNCIL
Proposed Collections; Comment
Requests
Notice and request for
comments.
ACTION:
The Financial Stability
Oversight Council (the ‘‘Council’’)
invites members of the public and
affected agencies to comment on
proposed and/or continuing information
collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13 (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)). The Council is soliciting
comments concerning its collection of
information related to its authority to
designate financial market utilities as
systemically important. Section 804 of
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection (the ‘‘Dodd-Frank
Act’’) provides the Council the authority
to designate a financial market utility
(‘‘FMU’’) that the Council determines is
or is likely to become systemically
important because the failure of or a
disruption to the functioning of the
FMU could create, or increase, the risk
of significant liquidity or credit
problems spreading among financial
institutions or markets and thereby
threaten the stability of the United
States financial system. On July 27,
2011, the Council published in the
Federal Register a final rule (12 CFR
part 1320) that describes the criteria that
will inform and the processes and
procedures established under the DoddFrank Act for the Council’s designation
of FMUs as systemically important
under the Dodd-Frank Act. On July 18,
2012, the Council designated eight
FMUs as systemically important under
Title VIII of the Dodd-Frank Act. The
collection of information under 12 CFR

1320.11 affords FMUs that are under
consideration for designation, or
rescission of designation, an
opportunity to submit written materials
to the Council in support of, or in
opposition to, designation or rescission
of designation. The collection of
information under 12 CFR 1320.12
affords FMUs an opportunity to contest
a proposed determination of the Council
by requesting a hearing and submitting
written materials (or, at the sole
discretion of the Council, oral testimony
and oral argument). The collection of
information in 12 CFR 1320.14 affords
FMUs an opportunity to contest the
Council’s waiver or modification of the
notice, hearing, or other requirements
contained in 12 CFR 1320.11 and
1320.12 by requesting a hearing and
submitting written materials (or, at the
sole discretion of the Council, oral
testimony and oral argument). The
information collected from FMUs under
12 CFR 1320.20 will be used by the
Council to determine whether to
designate an additional FMU or to
rescind the designation of a designated
FMU.

received on or before July 28, 2014 to be
assured of consideration.

FINANCIAL STABILITY OVERSIGHT COUNCIL
Proposed Collections; Comment Requests
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Financial Stability Oversight Council (the ``Council'')
invites members of the public and affected agencies to comment on
proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)). The Council is soliciting comments concerning its
collection of information related to its authority to designate
financial market utilities as systemically important. Section 804 of
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection (the ``Dodd-
Frank Act'') provides the Council the authority to designate a
financial market utility (``FMU'') that the Council determines is or is
likely to become systemically important because the failure of or a
disruption to the functioning of the FMU could create, or increase, the
risk of significant liquidity or credit problems spreading among
financial institutions or markets and thereby threaten the stability of
the United States financial system. On July 27, 2011, the Council
published in the Federal Register a final rule (12 CFR part 1320) that
describes the criteria that will inform and the processes and
procedures established under the Dodd-Frank Act for the Council's
designation of FMUs as systemically important under the Dodd-Frank Act.
On July 18, 2012, the Council designated eight FMUs as systemically
important under Title VIII of the Dodd-Frank Act. The collection of
information under 12 CFR 1320.11 affords FMUs that are under
consideration for designation, or rescission of designation, an
opportunity to submit written materials to the Council in support of,
or in opposition to, designation or rescission of designation. The
collection of information under 12 CFR 1320.12 affords FMUs an
opportunity to contest a proposed determination of the Council by
requesting a hearing and submitting written materials (or, at the sole
discretion of the Council, oral testimony and oral argument). The
collection of information in 12 CFR 1320.14 affords FMUs an opportunity

or other requirements contained in 12 CFR 1320.11 and 1320.12 by
requesting a hearing and submitting written materials (or, at the sole
discretion of the Council, oral testimony and oral argument). The
information collected from FMUs under 12 CFR 1320.20 will be used by
the Council to determine whether to designate an additional FMU or to
