Under the Premerger Notification

Rules

Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15

U.S.C. § 18a, as added by Title II of the

Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust

Improvements Act of 1976, requires

persons contemplating certain mergers

or acquisitions to give the Federal Trade

Commission and the Assistant Attorney

General advance notice and to wait

designated periods before

consummation of such plans. Section

7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies,

in individual cases, to terminate this

waiting period prior to its expiration

and requires that notice of this action be

published in the Federal Register.

The following transactions were

granted early termination of the waiting

period provided by law and the

premerger notification rules. The grants

to these proposed acquisitions during

the applicable waiting period.

Detroit Auto Dealers Association, Inc.;

Analysis To Aid Public Comment

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Proposed consent agreement.

SUMMARY: In settlement of alleged

violations of federal law prohibiting

unfair or deceptive acts or practices and

unfair methods of competition, this

consent agreement, accepted subject to

final Commission approval, would

require, among other things, the eleven

remaining dealerships in the FTC’s case

against the Detroit Automobile Dealers

Association (DADA) to be bound by the

terms and provisions of an existing 1995

Commission order, with certain

modifications. The original complaint

alleged that DADA and a large number

of its member automobile dealers

violated federal antitrust laws when

they illegally conspired to limit

competition in the sale of new cars in

the Detroit area by closing dealerships

on Saturdays and most week nights.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before May 20, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

directed to: FTC/Office of the Secretary,

Room 159, 6th St. and Pa. Ave., N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20580.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to Section 6(f) of the Federal Trade

Commission Act, 38 Stat. 721, 15 U.S.C.

46, and Section 2.34 of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice (16 CFR

2.34), notice is hereby given that the

above-captioned consent agreement

containing a consent order to cease and

desist, having been filed with and

accepted, subject to final approval, by

the Commission, has been placed on the

public record for a period of sixty (60)

days. The following Analysis to Aid

Public Comment describes the terms of

the consent agreement, and the

allegations in the accompanying

complaint. An electronic copy of the

full text of the consent agreement

package can be obtained from the

Commission Actions section of the FTC

Home Page (for March 14, 1997), on the

World Wide Web, at ‘‘http://

www.ftc.gov/os/actions/htm.’’ A paper

copy can be obtained from the FTC

Public Reference Room, Room H–130,

Sixth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue,

N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580, either in

person or by calling (202) 326–3627.

Public comment is invited. Such

comments or views will be considered

by the Commission and will be available

for inspection and copying at its

principal office in accordance with

Section 4.9(b)(6)(ii) of the Commission’s

Rules of Practice (16 CFR 4.9(b)(6)(ii).

Analysis of Proposed Consent Order To

Aid Public Comment

The Federal Trade Commission

(‘‘Commission’’) has accepted, subject to

final approval, an agreement to a

proposed consent order from eleven

automobile dealerships and nine owners

or managers of dealerships in the

Detroit, Michigan Area. The parties to

the agreement (hereinafter collectively

referred to as ‘‘the dealers’’) are listed at

the end of this document. The proposed

order requires the dealers to cease and

desist from entering into or carrying out

any agreement among themselves or

with other dealers to fix the hours of

operation of automobile dealerships in

the Detroit area.

The proposed consent order will

resolve charges against the final group

of respondents named in an

administrative compliant issued by the

Commission in December, 1984, in

Detroit Auto Dealers Ass’n, Inc., Dkt.

No. 9089. Similar charges against other

respondents were resolved through

consent orders issued in 1994 after a

federal appellate court substantially

affirmed the Commission’s finding that

respondents violated Section 5 of the

Federal Trade Commission Act.

The consent order now proposed will

modify a previous order that was

entered against the present dealers in

1989 and subsequently modified in

1995. Upon further review, the

Commission has determined that the

previous order should be further

modified in light of changes in the

market since the entry of the 1994

consent orders. The 1994 orders

required the respondent dealers to

maintain extended operating hours for a

one year period to restore competition

that was lost as a result of the dealers’

agreement to keep their stores closed on

Saturdays and on several week nights.

Recent evidence indicates that the

market has changed in response to the

previous orders, making it unnecessary

to continue the same mandatory hours

requirement in the order against the

present dealers. The proposed consent

order therefore suspends the remainder

of that requirement.

The proposed consent order has been

placed on the public record for 60 days

for reception of comments by interested

parties. Comments received during this

period will become part of the public

record. After 60 days, the Commission

will again review the agreement and the

comments received and will decide

whether it should withdraw from the

agreement or make final the agreement’s

proposed order.
