Bulk Manufacturer of Controlled Substances Application: Rhodes Technologies, 40567-40568 [2018-17605]

Download as PDF 40567 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 15, 2018 / Notices 60. Courts cannot look beyond the complaint in making the public interest determination ‘‘unless the complaint underlying the decree is drafted so narrowly such that its entry would appear ‘to make a mockery of judicial power.’’’ Apple, 889 F. Supp. 2d at 631 (S.D.N.Y. 2012) (citing SBC Commc’ns, 489 F. Supp. 2d at 15). In its 2004 amendments, Congress made clear its intent to preserve the practical benefits of utilizing consent decrees in antitrust enforcement, adding the unambiguous instruction that ‘‘[n]othing in this section shall be construed to require the court to conduct an evidentiary hearing or to require the court to permit anyone to intervene.’’ 15 U.S.C. § 16(e)(2); see also U.S. Airways, 38 F. Supp. 3d at 75 (indicating that a court is not required to hold an evidentiary hearing or to permit intervenors as part of its review under the Tunney Act). The language wrote into the statute what Congress intended when it enacted the Tunney Act in 1974, as Senator Tunney explained: ‘‘[t]he court is nowhere compelled to go to trial or to engage in extended proceedings which might have the effect of vitiating the benefits of prompt and less costly settlement through the consent decree process.’’ 119 Cong. Rec. 24, 598 (1973) (statement of Sen. Tunney). Rather, the procedure for the public interest determination is left to the discretion of the court, with the recognition that the court’s ‘‘scope of review remains sharply proscribed by precedent and the nature of Tunney Act proceedings.’’ SBC Commc’ns, 489 F. Supp. 2d at 11; see also Apple, 889 F. Supp. 2d at 632 (‘‘[P]rosecutorial functions vested solely in the executive branch could be undermined by the improper use of the APPA as an antitrust oversight provision.’’) (citation omitted). A court can make its public interest determination based on the competitive impact statement and response to public comments alone. U.S. Airways, 38 F. Supp. 3d at 75.3 VIII.
