Response of the United States to Public 

Comments on the Proposed Final 

Judgment 

Pursuant to the requirements of the 

Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act, 

15 U.S.C. 16(b)–(h) (‘‘APPA’’ or 

‘‘Tunney Act’’), the United States 

hereby responds to five public 

comments received regarding the 

proposed Final Judgment in this case. 

After careful consideration of the five 

comments, the United States continues 

to believe that the proposed Final 

Judgment will provide an effective and 

appropriate remedy for the antitrust 

violations alleged in the Complaint. The 

United States will move the Court for 

entry of the proposed Final Judgment 

after the public comments and this 

Response have been published in the 

Federal Register, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 

16(d). 

I. Procedural History 

On December 3, 2008, the United 

States and the State of California, 

Commonwealth of Kentucky, State of 

Michigan, State of North Carolina, State 

of Ohio, Commonwealth of 

Pennsylvania, and State of Texas (the 

‘‘States’’) filed the Complaint in this ma 

tter, alleging that defendant Republic 

Services, Inc.’s (‘‘Republic’’) acquisition 

of defendant Allied Waste Industries, 

Inc. (‘‘Allied’’), if permitted to proceed, 

would combine two of only a few 

significant providers of small container 

commercial waste collection or 

municipal solid waste (‘‘MSW’’) 

disposal services in several markets in 

violation of Section 7 of the Clayton 

Act, 15 U.S.C. 18. Simultaneously, the 

United States filed a proposed Final 

Judgment and a Hold Separate 

Stipulation and Order signed by the 

United States, the States and the 

defendants consenting to the entry of 

the proposed Final Judgment after 

compliance with the requirements of the 

APPA. 

Pursuant to those requirements, a 

Competitive Impact Statement (‘‘CIS’’) 

also was filed in this Court on December 

3, 2008; the proposed Final Judgment 

and CIS were published in the Federal 

Register on December 16, 2008, see 73 

FR 76,383 (2008); and a summary of the 

terms of the proposed Final Judgment 

and CIS, together with directions for the 

submission of written comments 

relating to the proposed Final Judgment, 

was published for seven days in The 

Washington Post on December 31, 2008 

through January 6, 2009. The defendants 

filed the statement required by 15 U.S.C. 

16(g) on April 24, 2009. The 60-day 

public comment period ended on March 

9, 2009; five comments were received, 

as described below and attached hereto. 

II. The Investigation and Proposed 

Resolution 

After Republic and Allied announced 

their plans to merge, the United States 

Department of Justice (the ‘‘United 

States’’) conducted an extensi ve 

investigation into the competitive 

effects of the proposed transaction. As 

part of this investigation, the United 

States obtained documents and 

information from the merging parties 

and others and conducted more than 

600 interviews with customers, 

competitors, and other individuals 

knowledgeable about the industry. The 

investigative staff carefully analyzed the 

information provided and thoroughly 

considered all of the issues presented. 

The United States considered the 

potential competitive effects of the 

transaction on small container 

commercial waste collection or MSW 

disposal services in a number of 

geographic areas, obtaining information 

about these services and these areas 

from market participants. The United 

States concluded that the combination 

of Republic and Allied likely would 

lessen competition in small container 

commercial waste collection or MSW 

disposal services in 15 separate 

geographic markets.
