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 October 6, 2008.
- The proposed Final Judgment was filed with the Court on October
6, 2008.
- The Competitive Impact Statement was filed with the Court on October
6, 2008.
- Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 16(b), the proposed Final Judgment
and Competitive Impact Statement were published in the Federal
Register on October 16, 2008. See United States v. The Manitowoc
Company, Inc. et al, 73 Fed. Reg. 61498, 2008 WL 4580180 (Oct.
16, 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 November 1, 2008, and ending on November 7, 2008.
- 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), defendant The Manitowoc Company,
Inc., on October 23, 2008, and defendants Enodis plc and Enodis Corporation,
on October 24, 2008, 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 November 7, 2008, and terminated on January 6, 2009.
During that period, the United States did not receive any comments
on the proposed Final Judgment.
- 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: January 21, 2009
