and take appropriate action or make the 

proposed Order final. 

II. The Respondents 

Respondents, Planned Building 

Services, Inc. (‘‘PBS’’), Planned Lifestyle 

Services Inc. (‘‘PLS’’), Planned Security 

Services, Inc. (‘‘PSS’’), and Planned 

Technologies Services, Inc. (‘‘PTS’’), are 

divisions of Planned Companies 

Holdings, Inc. Planned Companies 

Holdings, Inc., is a non-wholly owned, 

loosely controlled subsidiary of 

FirstService Corporation, a publicly 

traded Canadian company and one of 

the largest property management 

companies in North America. PBS 

provides cleaning and maintenance 

services at residential and commercial 

buildings; PLS provides doorperson and 

concierge services at residential 

buildings; PSS provides security guard 

services at residential and commercial 

buildings; and PTS provides technology 

related services. Respondents are 

headquartered in New Jersey and 

employ more than 3,000 building 

services workers, primarily in the 

Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, but also in 

the metro regions of Boston, the District 

of Columbia, Atlanta, San Francisco, 

and Florida. The complaint focuses on 

Respondents’ conduct in New York and 

New Jersey. 

III. The Complaint 

The complaint alleges that 

Respondents sell building services to 

building owners and property 

management companies, primarily 

consisting of the labor of janitors, 

security guards, maintenance workers, 

and concierge desk workers who are 

directly employed by Respondents. 

These employees perform their work at 

residential and commercial buildings in 

various States, but predominantly in 

New York City and Northern New 

Jersey. 

The complaint also alleges that 

Respondents and their building owner 

and property manager customers are 

direct competitors in labor markets for 

building services workers. These 

include the markets for workers to 

perform concierge, security, janitorial, 

maintenance, and related services. 

As alleged in the complaint, 

Respondents use standard-form 

agreements with their customers that 

include No-Hire Agreements. The NoHire Agreements restrict the ability of 

Respondents’ customers to (1) directly 

hire workers employed by Respondents, 

and (2) indirectly hire workers 

employed by Respondents through a 

competing building services contractor 

after the competitor wins the customers’ 

business away from Respondents. These 

restrictions apply during the term of 

Respondents’ contracts and for six 

months thereafter. Earlier versions of 

the No-Hire Agreements applied not just 

to Respondents’ employees staffed to 

provide services for a particular 

customer, but to all of Respondents’ 

building services employees. 

The complaint alleges that 

Respondents’ No-Hire Agreements are 

facially anticompetitive because they 

are horizontal agreements among 

competitors not to compete. 

Respondents and their customer 

building owners and property managers 

are competitors for the labor of building 

services workers like Respondents’ 

employees. The No-Hire Agreements are 

horizontal agreements that prohibit 

buildings and property management 

companies from hiring building services 

workers, thereby undermining 

competition for labor, reducing worker 

bargaining power, and suppressing 

wages. For these reasons, the complaint 

alleges that the No-Hire Agreements 

constitute unreasonable restraints of 

trade that are unlawful under section 1 

of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. 1, and are 

thus unfair methods of competition in 

violation of section 5 of the FTC Act, as 

amended, 15 U.S.C. 45. 

Independent of the Sherman Act, the 

complaint alleges that Respondents’ 

conduct constitutes an unfair method of 

competition with a tendency or 

likelihood to harm competition, 

consumers, and employees in the 

building services industry, in violation 

of section 5 of the FTC Act. According 

to the complaint, the No-Hire 

Agreements limit the ability of building 

owners and managers to hire 

Respondents’ employees. This harms 

Respondents’ employees because it 

limits their ability to negotiate for 

higher wages, better benefits, and 

improved working conditions. 

Employees may suffer further hardship 

if the building they work at brings 

services in-house because the No-Hire 

Agreements force them to leave their 

jobs in some circumstances. The 

complaint further alleges that the NoHire Agreements harm building owners 

and managers because they may be 

foreclosed from bringing services inhouse due to the prospect of losing longserving workers with extensive, 

building-specific experience. 

IV. Proposed Order 

The proposed Order seeks to remedy 

Respondents’ unfair methods of 

competition. Section II of the proposed 

Order prohibits Respondents from 

entering into, maintaining, or enforcing 

a No-Hire Agreement, or communicating 

to a customer or any other person that 

any Planned employee is subject to a 

No-Hire Agreement. 

Paragraph III.A of the proposed Order 

requires Respondents to provide written 

notice to customers that are subject to 

No-Hire Agreements that (i) the 

restriction is null and void, and (ii) any 

customer or a subsequent building 

services contractor for a customer is no 

longer subject to the restrictions or 

penalties related to the No-Hire 

Agreements in Respondents’ contracts. 

Paragraph III.B of the proposed Order 

requires Respondents to provide written 

notice to employees who are subject to 

a No-Hire Agreement. Paragraph III.C 

requires that Respondents post clear and 

conspicuous notice that employees are 

not subject to No-Hire Agreements and 

may seek or accept a job with the 

building directly, or any company that 

wins the building’s business. 

Paragraphs IV.A and IV.B of the 

proposed Order provide a timeline 

according to which the obligations 

enumerated in Section III must be met. 

Paragraphs IV.C–E set forth 

Respondents’ ongoing compliance 

obligations. 

Other paragraphs contain standard 

provisions regarding compliance 

reports, requirements for Respondents 

to provide notice to the FTC of material 

changes to their business, and access for 

the FTC to documents and personnel. 

The term of the proposed Order is ten 

years. 

The purpose of this analysis is to 

facilitate public comment on the 

Consent Agreement and proposed Order 

to aid the Commission in determining 

whether it should make the proposed 

Order final. This analysis is not an 

official interpretation of the proposed 

Order and does not modify its terms in 

any way. 

By direction of the Commission.

Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

GSA, in compliance with the 

FedRAMP Authorization Act of 2022, 

established the FSCAC, an advisory 

committee in accordance with the 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. 

ch. 10). The Federal Risk and 

Authorization Management Program 

(FedRAMP) within GSA is responsible 

for providing a standardized, reusable 

approach to security assessment and 

authorization for cloud computing 

products and services that process 

unclassified information used by 

agencies. 

The FSCAC will provide advice and 

recommendations to the Administrator 

of GSA, the FedRAMP Board, and 

agencies on technical, financial, 

programmatic, and operational matters 

regarding the secure adoption of cloud 

computing products and services. The 

FSCAC will ensure effective and 

ongoing coordination of agency 

adoption, use, authorization, 

monitoring, acquisition, and security of 

cloud computing products and services 

to enable agency mission and 

administrative priorities. The purposes 

of the Committee are: 

• To examine the operations of 

FedRAMP and determine ways that 

authorization processes can 

continuously be improved, including 

the following: 

Æ Measures to increase agency reuse 

of FedRAMP authorizations. 

Æ Proposed actions that can be 

adopted to reduce the burden, 

confusion, and cost associated with 

FedRAMP authorizations for cloud 

service providers. 

Æ Measures to increase the number of 

FedRAMP authorizations for cloud 

computing products and services 

offered by small businesses concerns (as 

defined by section 3(a) of the Small 

Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(a)). 

Æ Proposed actions that can be 

adopted to reduce the burden and cost 

of FedRAMP authorizations for 

agencies. 

• Collect information and feedback 

on agency compliance with, and 

implementation of, FedRAMP 

requirements. 

• Serve as a forum that facilitates 

communication and collaboration 

among the FedRAMP stakeholder 

community. 

The FSCAC will meet no fewer than 

three (3) times a calendar year. Meetings 

shall occur as frequently as needed, 

called, and approved by the DFO. 

Meetings may be held virtually or in 

person. Members will serve without 

compensation and may be allowed 

travel expenses, including per diem, in 

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 5703. 

The Committee shall be comprised of 

not more than 15 members who are 

qualified representatives from the 

public and private sectors, appointed by 

the Administrator, in consultation with 

the Director of OMB, as follows: 

i. The GSA Administrator or the GSA 

Administrator’s designee, who shall be 

the Chair of the Committee. 

ii. At least one representative each 

from the Cybersecurity and 

Infrastructure Security Agency and the 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology. 

iii. At least two officials who serve as 

the Chief Information Security Officer 

within an agency, who shall be required 

to maintain such a position throughout 

the duration of their service on the 

Committee. 

iv. At least one official serving as 

Chief Procurement Officer (or 

equivalent) in an agency, who shall be 

required to maintain such a position 

throughout the duration of their service 

on the Committee. 

v. At least one individual representing 

an independent assessment 

organization. 

vi. At least five representatives from 

unique businesses that primarily 

provide cloud computing services or 

products, including at least two 

representatives from a small business 

(as defined by section 3(a) of the Small 

Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(a))). 

vii. At least two other representatives 

from the Federal Government as the 

Administrator determines to be 

necessary to provide sufficient balance, 

insights, or expertise to the Committee. 

Each member shall be appointed for a 

term of three (3) years, except the initial 

terms, which were staggered into one 

(1), two (2) or three (3) year terms to 

establish a rotation in which one third 

of the members are selected. No member 

shall be appointed for more than two (2) 

consecutive terms nor shall any member 

serve for more than six (6) consecutive 

years. GSA values opportunities to 

increase diversity, equity, inclusion and 

accessibility on its federal advisory 

committees. 

Members will be designated as 

Regular Government Employees (RGEs) 

or Representative members as 

appropriate and consistent with Section 

3616(d) of the FedRAMP Authorization 

Act of 2022. GSA’s Office of General 

Counsel will assist the Designated 

Federal Officer (DFO) to determine the 

advisory committee member 

designations. Representatives are 

members selected to represent a specific 

point of view held by a particular group, 

organization, or association. Members 

who are full time or permanent parttime Federal civilian officers or

within an agency, who shall be required 

to maintain such a position throughout 

the duration of their service on the 

Committee, will be appointed to serve 

for the remainder of the vacant term, 

scheduled to end on May 14, 2026. 

One (1) seat for a representative of a 

unique business that primarily provides 

cloud computing products or services 

will be appointed for a three year term.

writing that they ceased producing, 

supplying, or using the listed food 

contact substances (FCSs) for their 

intended use in the United States. We 

are taking this action in accordance with 

the process set out in our regulations, by 

which FDA may determine that an FCN 

is no longer effective. 

DATES: Applicable date: This 

determination for the FCNs listed in 

table 1 and table 2 is effective January 

6, 2025. 

Compliance date: June 30, 2025, is the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In the Federal Register of March 22, 

2024 (89 FR 20306), FDA issued a final 

rule to amend its regulations at 

§ 170.105 (21 CFR 170.105) to provide 

additional reasons, other than safety, 

that may form the basis to determine 

that an FCN is no longer effective. One 

reason we may determine that an FCN 

is no longer effective is when the 

manufacturer or supplier has ceased or 

will cease the production, supply, or 

use of the food contact substance for its 

intended use authorized by the FCN 

(referred to as ‘‘abandonment’’). 

Several manufacturers or suppliers 

notified FDA, through voluntary 

commitment letters (Ref. 1), that they 

have ceased producing, supplying, or 

using authorized FCSs for their 

intended food contact use in the United 

States. FDA received this information 

before issuing the final rule. After the 

final rule’s effective date of May 21, 

2024, consistent with 

§ 170.105(a)(2)(ii)(A), we contacted the 

manufacturers or suppliers to inform 

them that their voluntary commitment 

letters demonstrate that they had 

ceased, and did not intend to resume in 

the future, producing, supplying, or 

using the subject FCSs for their 

intended food contact use. We provided 

the manufacturers or suppliers an 

opportunity to respond and did not 

receive any responses that disagreed 

with our findings. Therefore, in 

accordance with § 170.105(a)(2)(ii)(B), 

we determined that the FCNs are no 

longer effective based on abandonment. 

This notice constitutes the detailed 

summary of the basis for FDA’s 

determination that these specific FCNs 

are no longer effective in accordance 

with § 170.105(b). 

Tables 1 and 2 identify FCNs that are 

no longer effective, as well as the FCSs 

no longer authorized by these FCNs, as 

of the publication date of this notice. 

Based on the end of sales dates provided 

by the manufacturers for the FCSs listed 

in FCNs in table 1, we expect any 

existing stocks of these FCSs to have 

already been exhausted from the U.S. 

market. For the FCSs listed in the FCNs 

in table 2, we are providing a 

compliance date for existing stocks of 

products that were produced, supplied, 

or used by the manufacturer or supplier 

before January 6, 2025. Based on the 

information provided in the voluntary 

commitment letter from that 

manufacturer, we expect any existing 

stocks of these products to be exhausted 

by June 30, 2025. We have determined 

that providing a compliance date of June 

30, 2025, to exhaust these existing 

stocks would be protective of public 

health. For this reason, in accordance 

with § 170.105(b) we are establishing a 

compliance date of June 30, 2025, for 

the use of FCSs listed in table 2 in food 

contact articles if the FCSs were 

produced, supplied, or used by the 

manufacturer or supplier before January 

6, 2025.
