UNITED STATES' CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE WITH NOTICE

AND PUBLIC COMMENT PROCEDURES AND UNITED STATES'

CONSENT TO TERMINATION OF THE 1959 AND THE 1961 FINAL JUDGMENTS

On April 21, 2008, True Temper Sports, Inc. ("True Temper"), successor in interest to defendant True Temper Corporation, moved to terminate the Final Judgments entered in United States v. True Temper Corp., Civ. No. 58-C-1158 ("1959 Final Judgment") and in United States v. True Temper, et al., Civ. No. 58-C-1159 ("1961 Final Judgment"). On that same date, the United States and True Temper filed a Stipulation mandating notice and public comment procedures. The United States consented to the proposed terminations, reserving the right to withdraw its consent based upon public comments made or other information that came to its attention.

Notice of the proposed terminations were published in the Federal Register on May 13, 2008, at Volume 73, No.93, Page 27,556. Notice of the proposed terminations appeared in consecutive editions of the Wall Street Journal, a business newspaper with a national circulation, on May 21, 2008, on page C8 and on May 22, 2008, on page C7. True Temper published notice of the proposed termination in consecutive issues of Golf World magazine on May 23, 2008 on page 54, and on May 30, 2008 on page 54. The public had 60 days to submit comments, beginning on May 31, 2008, and ending on July 29, 2008. The United States has received no comments about the proposed terminations.

The United States continues to believe the proposed terminations are in the public interest, and, with the completion of the procedures for public notice and comment, now asks this Court to make its public interest determination and enter the attached proposed Order terminating the 1959 and the 1961 Final Judgments.

Dated: July 30, 2008.

Respectfully submitted,
