UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY, STATE OF MICHIGAN, STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, STATE OF OHIO, COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, and STATE OF TEXAS, Plaintiffs, v. REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC., and ALLIED WASTE INDUSTRIES, INC., Defendants. |
| CASE NO.: 1:2008CV02076 JUDGE: Hon. Richard W. Roberts DECK TYPE: Antitrust DATE STAMP: July 16, 2009 CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE WITH PROVISIONS
OF THE ANTITRUST PROCEDURES AND PENALTIES ACT Plaintiff, United States of America, by the undersigned attorney, hereby certifies that, in compliance with the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act, 15 U.S.C. § 16(b)-(h), the following procedures have been followed in preparation for the entry of final judgment in the above-captioned matter herein: Plaintiff and defendants have stipulated to the entry of the proposed Final Judgment in a Hold Separate Stipulation and Order ("Hold Separate Order") filed with the Court on December 3, 2008. The proposed Final Judgment was filed with the Court on December 3, 2008. The Competitive Impact Statement was filed with the Court on December 3, 2008. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 16(b), the proposed Final Judgment and Competitive Impact Statement were published in the Federal Register on December 16, 2008. See United States v. Republic Services, Inc. et al, 73 Fed. Reg. 76,383 (2008). Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 16(b), copies of the proposed Final Judgment and Competitive Impact Statement were furnished to all persons requesting them and made available on the Antitrust Division's Internet site, as were the Complaint and Hold Separate Order. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 16(c), a summary of the terms of the proposed Final Judgment and Competitive Impact Statement were published in The Washington Post, a newspaper of general circulation in the District of Columbia, for seven days beginning on December 31, 2008, and ending on January 6, 2009. As noted in the Competitive Impact Statement, there were no determinative materials or documents within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. § 16(b) that were considered by the United States in formulating the proposed Final Judgment, so none were furnished to any person pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 16(b) or listed pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 16(c). As required by 15 U.S.C. § 16(g), defendants, on April 24, 2009, filed with the Court descriptions of written or oral communications by or on their behalf with any officer or employee of the United States concerning or relevant to the proposed Final Judgment. The sixty-day comment period for the receipt and consideration of written comments specified in 15 U.S.C. §§ 16(b)­(d) commenced on January 7, 2009, and terminated on March 9, 2009. During that period, the United States received five comments on the proposed Final Judgment and filed its Response to Public Comments on May 14, 2009. The comments and Response were published in the Federal Register on June 16, 2009. The parties have satisfied all the requirements of the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act, 15 U.S.C. § 16(b)­(h), that were conditions for entering the proposed Final Judgment. The Court may now enter the Final Judgment if the Court determines pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 16(e) that entry of the Final Judgment is in the public interest. Dated: July 16, 2009 Respectfully submitted,
