13328 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 44 / Tuesday, March 6, 2012 / Notices 

IV. Effects of the Acquisition 

The proposed acquisition likely 

would result in significant 

anticompetitive harm in the highlyconcentrated relevant markets for each 

of the MP Alloys. Carpenter and Latrobe 

are the only competitors in these highlyconcentrated markets. The acquisition 

will eliminate actual, direct, and 

substantial competition between 

Carpenter and Latrobe, and likely result 

in higher prices for both of the MP 

Alloys. 

V. The Consent Agreement 

The proposed Consent Agreement 

remedies the competitive concerns 

raised by the transaction by requiring 

the parties to divest assets related to the 

manufacture of the MP Alloys to 

Eramet. The terms required by the 

Consent Agreement will enable Eramet 

to effectively replace the competition in 

the MP Alloys markets lost as a result 

of the proposed acquisition. 

Eramet is a global supplier of 

specialty alloys with an established 

sales and marketing network in the 

United States that will allow it to be 

immediately competitive in the relevant 

MP Alloys markets. Eramet is based in 

France, which is an approved foreign 

source country for U.S. military 

operations under DFARS. The proposed 

Consent Agreement requires Carpenter 

to provide Eramet with product licenses 

and the manufacturing technology 

necessary to manufacture the MP 

Alloys. This includes technical 

assistance from current Latrobe 

company designees, and confidential 

business information directly related to 

the manufacture of the MP Alloys. In 

addition, the Consent Agreement 

requires Carpenter to contract 

manufacture the MP Alloys for Eramet 

at cost until Eramet is able to produce 

and commercially sell these products on 

its own. The Commission has appointed 

James R. Bucci, who has over 35 years 

of experience in the specialty alloy 

industry, as the interim monitor to 

oversee the divestiture. 

If after the public comment period the 

Commission determines that Eramet is 

not an acceptable acquirer of the assets 

to be divested, or that the manner of the 

divestitures is not acceptable, Carpenter 

must unwind the divestiture and divest 

the assets within 180 days of the date 

the Order becomes final to another 

Commission-approved acquirer. If 

Carpenter fails to divest the assets 

within the 180 days, the Commission 

may appoint a trustee to divest the 

relevant assets. 

The purpose of this analysis is to 

facilitate public comment on the 

proposed Consent Agreement, and it is 

not intended to constitute an official 

interpretation of the proposed Consent 

Agreement or to modify its terms in any 

way. 

By direction of the Commission. 

Donald S. Clark, 

Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Government contracting officers may 

include FAR clause 52.222–32, DavisBacon Act—Price Adjustment (Actual 

Method) in fixed-price solicitations and 

contracts, subject to the Davis-Bacon 

Act under certain conditions. The 

conditions are that the solicitation or 

contract contains option provisions to 

extend the term of the contract and the 

contracting officer determines that the 

most appropriate method to adjust the 

contract price at option exercise is to 

use a computation method based on the 

actual increase or decrease from a new 

or revised Department of Labor DavisBacon Act wage determination. 

The clause requires that a contractor 

submit at the exercise of each option to 

extend the term of the contract, a 

statement of the amount claimed for 

incorporation of the most current wage 

determination by the Department of

Labor, and any relevant supporting data, 

including payroll records, that the 

contracting officer may reasonably 

require. The information is used by 

Government contracting officers to 

establish the contract price adjustment 

for the construction requirements of a 

contract, generally if the contract 

requirements are predominantly 

services subject to the Service Contract 

Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

19.301 and the FAR clause at 52.219–28, 

Post-Award Small Business Program 

Representation implement the Small 

Business Administration (SBA) Final 

Rule (71 FR 66434), Small Business Size 

Regulations; Size for Purposes of 

Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts, 

Multiple Award Schedule Contracts and 

Other Long-Term Contracts; 8(a) 

Business Development/Small 

Disadvantaged Business; Business 

Status Determinations. FAR 19.301 and 

the FAR clause at 52.219–28, requires 

that contractors represent size status by 

updating their representations and 

certifications at the prime contract level 

in the Online Representations and 

Certifications Application (ORCA), and 

notify the contracting office that it has 

made the required representation. 

The purpose of implementing small 

business rerepresentation in the FAR is 

to ensure that small business size status 

is accurately represented and reported 

over the life of long-term contracts. The 

FAR also provides for provisions 

designed to ensure more accurate 

reporting of size status for contracts that 

are novated, merged or acquired by 

another business. This information is 

used by the SBA, Congress, Federal 

agencies and the general public for 

various reasons such as determining if 

agencies are meeting statutory goals, setaside determinations, and market 

research.
