iii. The United States Conducted an
Impartial and Independent Merger
Analysis
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Members of Congress refer to news
reports that raise the possibility that the
White House may have ‘‘exercised
outsized influence’’ in the review of this
transaction and other deals.101 The
commenters do not make any specific
claims regarding the investigation of
this merger, but rather urge that
antitrust enforcement ‘‘continue to be
treated as a law enforcement matter
properly left to the independent
judgment of DOJ.’’ 102
Any suggestion that the settlement at
issue here is or could be the result of
improper lobbying or political pressure
is both unsubstantiated and meritless.
The settlement followed a thorough and
comprehensive investigation, and it is
the result of extensive, good faith
negotiations between the United States
and Defendants. The proposed Final
Judgment requires substantial relief that
addresses the competitive harm alleged
in the Complaint. In short, there is no
basis to allege that the settlement results
from anything other than the United
States’ independent investigation and
analysis.

VI. Conclusion
After careful consideration of the
public comments, the United States
continues to believe that the proposed
Final Judgment, as drafted, provides an
effective and appropriate remedy for the
antitrust violations alleged in the
Complaint, and is therefore in the
public interest. The United States will
move this Court to enter the proposed
Final Judgment after the comments and
this response are published pursuant to
15 U.S.C. § 16(d).

technological collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
Overview of this information
collection:
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently collection
approved collection.
(2) The Title of the Form/Collection:
2018–2020 Survey of State Criminal
History Information Systems (SSCHIS).
(3) The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form number is N/A. The
applicable component within the
Department of Justice is the Bureau of
Justice Statistics, in the Office of Justice
Programs.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Respondents are state
government agencies, primarily state
criminal history record repositories. The
SSCHIS report, the most comprehensive
data available on the collection and
maintenance of information by state
criminal history record systems,
describes the status of such systems and
record repositories on a biennial basis.
Data collected from state record
repositories serves as the basis for
estimating the percentage of total state
records that are immediately available
through the FBI’s Interstate
Identification Index (III), and the
percentage of arrest records that include
dispositions. Other data presented
include the number of records
maintained by each state, the percentage
of automated records in the system, and
the number of states participating in the
National Fingerprint File and the
National Crime Prevention and Privacy
Compact which authorizes the interstate
exchange of criminal history records for
noncriminal justice purposes. The
SSCHIS also contains information
regarding the timeliness and
completeness of data in state record
systems and procedures employed to
improve data quality.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The total number of
respondents is 56. The average length of
time per respondent is 6.75 hours. This
estimate is based on the average amount
of time reported by five states that
reviewed the survey.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total burden associated
with this collection is estimated to be
378 hours.

Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Extension of a currently approved
collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
Mortality in Correctional Institutions
(State Prisons) (MCI-State Prisons).
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The MCI-State Prisons collection
currently includes the following forms:
• NPS–4: Annual Summary of Inmate
Deaths in State Prisons. Annually, this
form is sent to the 50 state DOCs to
collect the number of state prisoner
deaths in a calendar year.
• NPS–4A: State Prison Inmate Death
Report Form. Annually, this form is sent
to the 50 state DOCs to collect details
about each state prisoner death.
The applicable component within the
Department of Justice is the Bureau of
Justice Statistics (BJS), in the Office of
Justice Programs.
BJS proposes to transfer the MCI-Jails
information collection from the
currently approved OMB collection
under control number 1121–0094,
where it was bundled with the Annual
Survey of Jails and the Survey of Jails
in Indian Country collections in 2015, to
this collection (OMB Control Number
1121–0249, expiration 03/31/2019) to
form a single mortality collection
program.
The combined mortality collection
would include the 50 state departments
of corrections (DOCs) plus
approximately 3,000 local jail
jurisdictions and would collect data on
the number and characteristics of
inmate deaths in the custody of state
and local correctional facilities.
Prior to 2015, BJS collected mortality
data from both state prisons and local
jails under the OMB Control Number
1121–0249. In 2015, the Mortality in
Correctional Institutions (Jails) (MCIJails) portion of the collection was
bundled with the Annual Survey of Jails
(ASJ) and the Survey of Jails in Indian

Country (SJIC) in an attempt to
consolidate the response burden placed
on jails. However, the overlap among
these three collections is small, both in
terms of jails covered in each and
context collected.
• MCI-Jails requests annual data from
about 3,000 jail jurisdictions on deaths,
the confined population as of December
31, average daily population (ADP),
number of holds for other jurisdictions,
and number of admissions to the jail
during the calendar year.
• The ASJ samples approximately 900
local jails, and provides data to estimate
the number and characteristics of local
jail inmates nationwide. The ASJ
collects population information,
including the number of confined
inmates, number of individuals
supervised in the community by local
jails, average daily population, and the
number of holds for other authorities as
of June 30. The ASJ also obtains data on
inmate movements, including the
number of admissions and discharges;
facility characteristics, including rated
and peak capacities and staffing; and
inmate characteristics, including race
and ethnicity, sex, age group (adult or
juvenile), primary offense, and
conviction status.
• The SJIC collects data from Indian
country jails that are not part of either
the ASJ or the MCI-Jails collections. The
SJIC collects information from
confinement facilities, detention
centers, jails, and other facilities
operated by tribal authorities or the
Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Although there is some duplication in
data collected by the ASJ and MCI-Jails,
the reference dates are different and the
ASJ is a sample, whereas MCI-Jails is a
full enumeration of jail jurisdictions.
Due to seasonal fluctuations in jail
populations, and fewer inmates held at
year-end (December 31), the ASJ uses
the last weekday in June as its reference
date. MCI-Jails uses December 31 as its
reference date, and more importantly,
uses ADP from January 1 to December
31 as the denominator in calculating
mortality rates, which is consistent with
the time period represented by the
numerator, the number of deaths in a
calendar year.
The following forms are proposed to
be transferred from OMB Control
Number 1121–0094 to OMB Control
Number 1121–0249:
• CJ–9: Death Report on Inmates
under Jail Jurisdiction. This form goes to
all jail jurisdictions that are operated by
a county or city. Jail administrators are
requested to complete the form if their
facilities had one or more deaths in a
calendar year.
