1The record is defined in § 207.2(f) of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 

CFR 207.2(f)). 

2809.15(b)(ii), as well as NEPA 

conformance, the presumptive 

leaseholder will become the 

leaseholder. The leaseholder must then 

submit a final Plan of Development in 

accordance with 43 CFR 2809.18(c). 

The successful bidder will not 

become the presumptive leaseholder if 

they do not satisfy the requirements in 

43 CFR 2809.15, do not execute the 

lease, or is for any reason disqualified 

from holding the lease. In the case when 

the successful bidder does not satisfy 

the requirements to become a 

presumptive leaseholder, the BLM may 

make the next highest bidder the 

successful bidder or re-offer the lands. 

The BLM will keep all money that has 

been submitted with the competitive 

process if the successful bidder does not 

satisfy the requirements of 43 CFR 

2809.15(d). 

The successful bidder must submit 

payment of the minimum bid and at 

least 20 percent of the winning bonus 

bid to the BLM Las Cruces District 

Office no later than noon on November 

15, 2024. Within 15 calendar days after 

the auction, the successful bidder must: 

(1) pay the balance of the bonus bid 

(after the variable offsets are applied); 

and (2) submit the acreage rent for the 

first full year of the solar energy 

development lease. This amount will be 

applied toward the first 12 months 

acreage rent if the successful bidder 

becomes the leaseholder. 

Any required payments must be 

submitted by personal check, cashier’s 

check, certified check, bank draft (wire 

transfer or Automated Clearing House), 

or money order, or by other means 

deemed acceptable by the BLM, payable 

to the Department of the Interior— 

Bureau of Land Management. The 

administrative fee portion of the 

minimum bid will be retained by the 

agency to recover administrative costs 

for conducting the competitive bidding 

and related processes. The remainder of 

the minimum bid and bonus bid will be 

deposited with the U.S. Treasury. There 

will be no returned or refunded money 

to the successful bidder(s). 

Only interests in issued right-of-way 

(ROW) leases are assignable under the 

regulations at 43 CFR 2807.21. The 

interest acquired by the successful 

bidder from this auction may not be 

assigned or sold to another party prior 

to the issuance of a ROW lease. The 

successful bidder may, however, 

continue to pursue their application if 

the successful bidder becomes a wholly 

owned subsidiary of a new third party. 

Section 50265(b)(1) of the Inflation 

Reduction Act (codified at 43 U.S.C. 

3006(b)(1)) conditions the issuance of 

wind and solar energy development 

ROWs on: (1) the BLM having held an 

onshore oil and gas lease sale during the 

120-day period before the issuance of 

the wind or solar energy development; 

and (2) the BLM having offered—in the 

1-year period preceding the date of the 

issuance of the lease—the lesser of two 

million acres or 50 percent of acreage 

for which expressions of interest had 

been submitted in that year. The BLM 

will ensure compliance with these 

provisions prior to issuing the solar 

development ROW lease to the 

successful bidder, if any.

United States International Trade 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of

review on February 1 (89 FR 6547, 

February 1, 2024) and determined on

expedited review (89 FR 48443, June 6, 

2024).

determination pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It 

completed and filed its determination in 

this review on September 27, 2024. The 

views of the Commission are contained

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 Intermodal Sealift 

Agreement (‘‘VISA’’) 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. 

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 VISA is 

to support Department of Defense 

(‘‘DoD’’) contingency requirements to 

provide cargo capacity during times of 

crisis through procedures agreed in 

advance. The proposed VISA establishes 

the terms, conditions and procedures 

under which participants agree 

voluntarily to make tankers available to

the DoD. MARAD has certified that the 

proposed VISA 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 26, 2024, 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. 

4558(f)(1)(B), that the purposes of the 

VISA ‘‘may not reasonably be achieved 

through a voluntary agreement . . . 

having less anticompetitive effects or 

without any voluntary agreement.’’
