DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Antitrust Division
Notice Pursuant to the Defense
Production Act of 1950
Notice is hereby given pursuant to
Section 708 of the Defense Production
Act of 1950 (‘‘DPA’’), that the Assistant
Attorney General finds, with respect to
the Voluntary Tanker Agreement
(‘‘VTA’’) proposed by the Maritime
Administration (‘‘MARAD’’), that the
purposes of Section 708(c)(1) of the may
not reasonably be achieved through a
voluntary agreement or plan of action
having less anticompetitive effects or
without any voluntary agreement or
plan of action. Given this finding, the
proposed Voluntary Agreement may

become effective following the
publication of this notice.
Under the DPA, MARAD may enter
into agreements with representatives of
private industry for the purpose of
improving the efficiency with which
private firms contribute to the national
defense when conditions exist that may
pose a direct threat to the national
defense or its preparedness. Such
arrangements are generally known as
‘‘voluntary agreements.’’ A defense to
actions brought under the antitrust laws
is available to each participant acting
within the scope of a voluntary
agreement that has come into force
under the DPA.
The DPA requires that each proposed
voluntary agreement be reviewed by the
Attorney General prior to becoming
effective. If, after consulting with the
Chair of the Federal Trade Commission,
the Attorney General finds that the
purpose of the DPA ‘‘may not be
reasonably achieved through a
voluntary agreement having less
anticompetitive effects or without any
voluntary agreement or plan of action,’’
the agreement may become effective. 50
U.S.C. 4558 (f)(l)(B). All functions
which the Attorney General is required
or authorized to perform by section 708
of the DPA have been delegated to the
Assistant Attorney General, Antitrust
Division. 28 CFR 0.40(l)
The purpose of the proposed VTA is
to support Department of Defense
(‘‘DoD’’) contingency requirements to
provide tanker capacity during times of
crisis through procedures agreed in
advance. The proposed VTA establishes
the terms, conditions and procedures
under which participants agree
voluntarily to make tankers available to
the DoD. MARAD has certified that the
proposed VTA is necessary to carry out
its purpose.
MARAD requested that the Assistant
Attorney General, Antitrust Division,
issue a finding that the proposed
Voluntary Agreement satisfies the
statutory criteria set forth in 50 U.S.C.
4558(f)(1)(B). The Assistant Attorney
General, Antitrust Division, reviewed
the proposed Voluntary Agreement and
consulted on it with the Chair of the
Federal Trade Commission. On
September 21, 2022, by letter to Ann C.
Phillips, Maritime Administrator,
Jonathan S. Kanter, Assistant Attorney
General, Antitrust Division, issued a
finding pursuant to 50 U.S.C.

VTA ‘‘may not reasonably be achieved
through a voluntary agreement . . .
