Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 129 / Wednesday, July 3, 1996 / Notices 34871

Section IV provides that the defendant

is prohibited for five years from

announcing to the public or to any

present or potential dealer of its outdoor

umbrellas that defendant has or is

adopting, promulgating, suggesting,

announcing or establishing any resale

pricing policy for outdoor umbrellas

that provides that: (1) defendant will

sell only to a dealer that prices its

outdoor umbrellas at or above

defendant’s suggested resale price, and/

or (2) defendant will terminate any

dealer for pricing below defendant’s

suggested resale price.

Additionally, the defendant is

prohibited for a period of five years

from the date of entry of the Final

Judgment from (1) threatening any

dealer with termination or terminating

any dealer for pricing below the

defendant’s suggested resale price, and

(2) discussing with any present or

potential dealer any decision regarding

termination of any other dealer for any

reason directly or indirectly related to

the latter dealer’s pricing below

defendant’s suggested resale price.

Section V of the proposed Final

Judgment is designed to ensure that

AnchorShade, Inc.’s dealers are aware of

the limitations imposed on it by the

Final Judgment. Section V requires the

defendant to send notice and copies of

the Final Judgment to each dealer who

purchased outdoor umbrellas from the

defendant from January 1, 1992 to the

date of entry of the Final Judgment. In

addition, the defendant is required to

send notices and copies of the Final

Judgment to every other dealer who

purchases outdoor umbrellas from

AnchorShade, Inc. within ten years of

the date of entry of the proposed Final

Judgment.

Section VI requires the defendant to

set up an antitrust compliance program.

The defendant is also required to

furnish a copy of the Final Judgment to

each of its officers and directors and

each of its nonclerical employees,

representatives or agents with

supervisory or direct responsibility for

the sale or advertising of outdoor

umbrellas in the United States.

In addition, the proposed Final

Judgment provides a method of

determining and securing the

defendant’s compliance with its terms.

Section VIII provides that, upon request

of the Department of Justice, the

defendant shall submit written reports,

under oath, with respect to any of the

matters contained in the Final

Judgment. Additionally, the Department

of Justice is permitted to inspect and

copy all books and records, and to

interview officers, directors, employees

and agents of the defendant.

Section IX makes the Final Judgment

effective for ten years from the date of

its entry.

Section XI of the proposed Final

Judgment states that entry of the Final

Judgment is in the public interest.

Under the provisions of the APPA, entry

of the proposed Final Judgment is

conditional upon a determination by the

Court that the proposed Final Judgment

is in the public interest.

The United States believes that the

proposed Final Judgment is fully

adequate to prevent the continuation or

recurrence of the violation of section 1

of the Sherman Act alleged in the

Complaint, and that the disposition of

this proceeding without further

litigation is appropriate and in the

public interest.

IV

Remedies Available to Potential Private

Litigants

Section 4 of the Clayton Act, 15,

provides that any person who had been

injured as a result of conduct prohibited

by the antitrust laws may bring suit in

federal court to recover three times the

damages the person has suffered, as well

as costs and reasonable attorney fees.

Entry of the proposed Final Judgment

will neither impair nor assist the

bringing of any private antitrust damage

action. Under the provisions of section

5(a) of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C.

§ 16(a), the proposed Final Judgment

has no prima facie effect in any

subsequent private lawsuit that may be

brought against the defendant.

V

Procedures Available for Modification of

the Proposed Final Judgment

The United States and the defendant

have stipulated that the proposed Final

Judgment may be entered by the Court

after compliance with the provisions of

the APPA, provided that the United

States has not withdrawn its consent.

The APPA provides a period of at

least sixty days preceding the effective

date of the proposed Final Judgment

within which any person may submit to

the United States written comments

regarding the proposed Final Judgment.

Any person who wants to comment

should do so within sixty days of the

date of publication of this Competitive

Impact Statement in Federal Register.

The United States will evaluate the

comments, determine whether it should

withdraw its consent, and respond to

the comments. The comments and the

responses of the United States will be

filed with the Court and published in

the Federal Register.

Written comments should be

submitted to: Ralph T. Giordano, Chief,

New York Office, Antitrust Division,

United States Department of Justice, 26

Federal Plaza, Room 3630, New York,

New York 10278.

Under Section X of the proposed

Final Judgment, the Court will retain

jurisdiction over this matter for the

purpose of enabling any of the parties to

apply to the Court for such further

orders or directions as may be necessary

or appropriate for the construction,

implementation, modification or

enforcement of the Final Judgment, or

for the punishment of any violations of

the Final Judgment.

VI

Alternatives to the Proposed Final

Judgment

The only alternative to the proposed

Final Judgment considered by the

United States will a full trial on the

merits and on relief. Such litigation

would involve substantial costs to the

United States and is not warranted

because the proposed Final Judgment

provides appropriate relief against the

violations alleged in the Complaint.

VII

Determinative Materials and Documents

No materials or documents were

determinative in formulating the

proposed Final Judgment.

Consequently, the United States has not

attached any such materials or

documents to the proposed Final

Judgment.

Dated: June 20, 1996.

Patricia L. Jannaco,

Attorney, Antitrust Division, United States

Department of Justice, 26 Federal Plaza,

Room 3630, New York, New York 10278, (212)
