SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we
provide the general public and other
Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on December
21, 2020 (85 FR 83102). No comments
were received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. 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 to

withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: This collection of
information enables the BLM to process
assignments of record title interest and
transfers of operating rights in a lease
for oil and gas or geothermal resources.
Each assignment or transfer is a contract
between private parties but, by law,
must be approved by the Secretary. The
BLM uses information about
assignments and transfers to prevent
unlawful extraction of mineral
resources, to ensure prompt payment of
rentals and royalties for the rights
obtained under a Federal lease, and to
ensure that leases are not encumbered
with agreements that cause the minerals
to be uneconomical to produce,
resulting in lost revenues to the Federal
Government. The information also
enables the BLM to ensure the assignee
or transferee is in compliance with the
bonding requirements, when necessary,
before approval of the transfer or
assignment. Form 3000–003 is used to
transfer record title interest (i.e.,
primary ownership of a lease or the
lessee’s interest). Form 3003–003a is
used to transfer operating rights interest
(i.e., also referred to as working interest
or a sublease). This request is to extend
for an additional three years OMB’s
approval for the collections of
information under this OMB control
number.
There are no changes to the
information collections (Forms 3003–
003 and 3003–003a) under OMB control
number 1004–0034. The only program
change to the information collections is
due to an increase in cost-recovery fees
from $95 to $100 per filing. The
estimated annual responses have been
adjusted downward by 8,808, from
17,626 to 8,818 responses. These
adjustments have decreased the hour
burden by 4,404, from 8,814 to 4,410
hours. Similarly, the non-hour cost
burdens have been adjusted downward
by $792,670, from $1,674,470 to
$881,800. This downward adjustment in
costs is offset by a $44,090 increase due
to an increase in cost recovery fees. The
cost recovery fees were increased
pursuant to a BLM final rule titled,
Minerals Management: Adjustment of
Cost Recovery Fees, published in the
Federal Register on October 9, 2020 (85
FR 64056). The itemized changes in
burdens are outlined in the information
collection request that has been
submitted to OMB and is available at

Complaint
The United States of America
(‘‘United States’’), acting under the
direction of the Attorney General of the
United States, brings this civil antitrust
action against Defendants Stone Canyon
Industries Holdings LLC (‘‘Stone
Canyon’’), SCIH Salt Holdings Inc.
(‘‘SCIH’’), K+S Aktiengesellschaft (‘‘K+S
AG’’), and Morton Salt, Inc. (‘‘Morton’’)
to enjoin SCIH’s proposed acquisition of
assets including Morton from K+S AG.
The United States complains and alleges
as follows:
I. Nature of the Action
1. Pursuant to a Transaction
Agreement dated October 5, 2020, SCIH
intends to acquire assets including
Morton from K+S AG for approximately
$3.2 billion. As a result of the
acquisition, SCIH would control both
Morton and US Salt, which are the
largest suppliers of certain evaporated
salt products in the United States.
2. Together, Morton and US Salt
would have a monopoly in the United
States and Canada for pharmaceuticalgrade salt, the purest grade of
evaporated salt, which is used to make
life-saving treatments and products for
patients in need of dialysis fluid,
intravenous saline solution, or other
medical products.
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
3. Additionally, Morton and US Salt
are two of only three companies that
supply U.S. households with ‘‘roundcan’’ table salt, a type of evaporated salt
that is sold in 26-ounce round
containers with a metal spout and used
to flavor food.
4. Morton and US Salt are also two of
only three major suppliers in the
northeastern United States of bulk
evaporated salt, which is used by food
processors and chemical manufacturers
to make pre-packaged food and
everyday cleaning products.
5. Today, customers benefit from
competition between Morton and US
Salt in the form of lower prices, higher
quality products, and/or improved
service. The proposed transaction
would eliminate this competition,
driving the opposite result: Higher
prices, lower quality products, and
poorer service for customers of
pharmaceutical-grade salt in the United
States and Canada, for customers of
round-can table salt in the United
States, and for customers of bulk
evaporated salt in the northeastern
United States.
6. Accordingly, SCIH’s acquisition of
Morton would violate Section 7 of the
Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18, and should
be enjoined.
II. The Parties and the Transaction
7. K+S AG is a chemical company
headquartered in Kassel, Germany. In
2020, K+S AG reported revenues of
approximately $4.4 billion. K+S AG’s
Operating Unit Salt Americas business
includes Morton as well as K+S
Windsor Salt, which sells salt products
in Canada, and Sociedad Punta de
Lobos, which sells salt products in
Chile.
8. Morton is a K+S AG subsidiary
with approximately $1 billion in
revenue in 2020. Morton is the largest
supplier of pharmaceutical-grade salt in
the United States and Canada, the
largest supplier of round-can table salt
in the United States, and one of only
three suppliers of bulk evaporated salt
in the northeastern United States.
9. Stone Canyon is an industrial
holding company incorporated in
Delaware and headquartered in Los
Angeles, California. Stone Canyon
acquired Kissner Group Holdings LP,
which it later renamed SCIH, in April
2020.
10. SCIH is a subsidiary of Stone
Canyon and is headquartered in
Overland Park, Kansas. In 2020, SCIH
had revenues of approximately $1
billion. SCIH is a leading supplier of salt
products, including evaporated salt.
11. US Salt, a subsidiary of SCIH with
approximately $95 million in revenues
