DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Notice To Publicize Consent Order, 

Notify Public of DoD Compliance 

Officer and Provide Point of Contact 

for Information and or Inquiries 

AGENCY: Office of the Under Secretary of 

Defense for Acquisition and 

Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)), Department 

of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Notice of Consent Order. 

SUMMARY: The DoD Compliance Officer 

for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) 

Decision and Order (hereinafter referred 

to as the ‘‘Consent Order’’), in the 

Matter of Northrop Grumman 

Corporation (NGC) and Orbital ATK, Inc 

Docket No. C–4652, dated June 5, 2018, 

and as modified on December 3, 2018, 

is posting this notice to inform the 

Public about the Consent Order and to 

notify the Public of the DoD Compliance 

Officer point of contact for further 

information or inquiries. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information and inquiries, 

interested parties should contact the 

DoD Compliance Officer, Ms. Nicoletta 

S. Giordani, at 703–693–6613 or 

nicoletta.s.giordani.civ@mail.mil. To 

request a meeting with the DoD 

Compliance Officer or the Government 

Compliance Team, interested parties 

should submit a request to: osd.mcalex.rsrcmgmt.list.ousd-as-northroporbital-monitoring-mb@mail.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FTC’s 

Complaint alleged that NGC’s 2018 

acquisition of Orbital ATK would 

reduce competition in the market for 

missile systems purchased by the U.S. 

Government, resulting in less 

innovation and higher prices for 

taxpayers. The resulting Consent Order, 

as described below, preserves the 

procompetitive benefits of the 

acquisition while addressing the 

potential anticompetitive harms. 

The Consent Order: The Consent 

Order requires that NGC make its solid 

rocket motors (SRMs) and related 

services available on a nondiscriminatory basis to all competitors 

for missile contracts. Covered missiles 

include any air, sea, and/or land-based 

missile propelled by one or more SRMs, 

including tactical missiles, missile 

defense interceptors and targets, and 

strategic missiles. The Consent Order 

does not cover launch vehicles for 

satellites and other space systems. The 

non-discrimination prohibitions of the 

Consent Order are comprehensive and 

apply to potential discriminatory 

conduct affecting price, schedule, 

quality, data, personnel, investment, 

technology, innovation, design, or risk. 

NGC must also establish firewalls to 

keep it from transferring or using any 

proprietary information that it receives 

from competing missile prime 

contractors or SRMs suppliers in a 

manner that harms competition. The 

Consent Order is in effect until June 5, 

2038.

Order and supplementary information is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title, 

Associated Form, and OMB Number: 

Exceptional Family Member Program 

(EFMP) Family Needs Assessment 

(FNA); DD Form 3054; OMB Control 

Number 0704–0580. 

Type of Request: Extension. 

Number of Respondents: 20,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 20,000. 

Average Burden per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 10,000 hours. 

Needs and Uses: This information 

collection through the Family Needs 

Assessment (FNA) is necessary to assist 

EFMP Family Support staff in 

identifying the needs of families and 

developing plans of action. The Family 

Services Plan Addendum allows EFMP 

Family Support staff and families to 

track identified steps in addressing their 

needs and goals. The Inter-Services 

Transfer Summary (ISTS) Addendum 

facilitates the transfer of cases between 

sister-Service Family Support Offices 

when a family requests a warm hand-off 

to a gaining installation. 

The EFMP FNA addresses current 

differences in assessment processes and 

inconsistent transfer of cases across the 

Services. With this standardized form, 

installation-level EFMP Family Support 

Offices can provide a family support 

experience that is consistent across the 

Services and maintains continuity of 

services when military families with 

special needs have Permanent Change of 

Station (PCS) orders to a joint base or 

sister-Service location. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: As needed. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

Lucas.
