Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 83 / Monday, April 29, 1996 / Notices 18743

Corp., (C3500) (June 28, 1994), Alliant

Techsystems Inc., (C3567) (April 7,

1995), and Lockheed Martin Corp.,

(C3576) (May 9, 1995). Industry

participants have indicated that these

prior orders have been effective in

protecting their confidential information

and preserving competition. In addition,

the Department of Defense has stated

that the proposed Consent Order

resolves all of the competitive issues

that they have identified.

Finally, Lockheed Martin is a

significant competitor in the market for

the research, development, manufacture

and sale of unmanned aerial vehicles

and Loral is the sole supplier of

integrated communications systems, a

critical unmanned aerial vehicle

component. After the acquisition,

Lockheed Martin would be the sole

supplier of integrated communications

systems for unmanned aerial vehicles

and also a competitor in the unmanned

aerial vehicle market. Because

unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturers

will have to provide proprietary

information to the Lockheed Martin

division that manufactures integrated

communication systems, Lockheed

Martin’s military aircraft division,

which manufactures unmanned aerial

vehicles, could gain access to

competitively sensitive non-public

information relating to competing

unmanned aerial vehicles. As a result,

the proposed acquisition increases the

likelihood that competition between

unmanned aerial vehicle suppliers

would decrease because Lockheed

Martin would have access to its

competitors’ proprietary information,

which could affect the prices and

services that Lockheed Martin would

offer. In addition, advancements in

unmanned aerial vehicle research,

innovation and quality would be

reduced because Lockheed Martin’s

unmanned aerial vehicle competitors

would fear that Lockheed Martin could

‘‘free ride’’ off of their technological

developments.

To remedy the proposed acquisition’s

likely anticompetitive effects in the

unmanned aerial vehicle market, the

proposed Consent Order preserves the

confidentiality of unmanned aerial

vehicle suppliers’ proprietary

information by prohibiting Lockheed

Martin’s communications systems

divisions from making any proprietary

information from competing unmanned

aerial vehicle manufacturers available to

Lockheed Martin’s military aircraft

division. Under the proposed Consent

Order, Lockheed Martin may only use

such information in its capacity as a

provider of integrated communications

systems. Non-public information in this

context includes any information not in

the public domain that is designated as

proprietary information by any

unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturer

that provides such information to

Lockheed Martin as well as information

not in the public domain provided by

any unmanned aerial vehicle

manufacturer to Loral prior to the

acquisition. The purpose of the

proposed Consent Order is to preserve

the opportunity for full competition in

the market for the research,

development, manufacture and sale of

unmanned aerial vehicles.

Under the provisions of the proposed

Consent Order, Lockheed Martin is

required to deliver a copy of the Order

to any United States military aircraft

manufacturer and to any United States

unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturer

prior to obtaining any information from

them that is outside the public domain.

The Order also requires Lockheed

Martin to provide the Commission a

report of compliance with the

provisions of the Order relating to its

divestiture of its FAA SETA services

assets within forty-five (45) days

following the date the Order becomes

final, and every forty-five (45) days

thereafter until it has completed the

required divestiture of its FAA SETA

services assets. In addition, the Order

also requires Lockheed Martin to

provide the Commission a report of

compliance with all other provisions of

the Order within sixty (60) days

following the date the Order becomes

final, and annually for the next (10)

years on the anniversary of the date the

Order becomes final.

In order to preserve competition in

the relevant markets during the period

prior to the final acceptance of the

proposed Consent Order (after the 60-

day public notice period), Lockheed

Martin has entered into an Interim

Agreement with the Commission in

which it has agreed to be bound by the

proposed Consent Order as of the date

the Commission accepted the proposed

Consent Order subject to final approval.

The purpose of this analysis is to

facilitate public comment on the

proposed Consent Order, and it is not

intended to constitute an official

interpretation of the agreement and

proposed Consent Order or to modify in

any way their terms.

Secretary.
