‘‘plans of action,’’ to implement that
voluntary agreement. A defense to
actions brought under the antitrust laws
is available to each participant acting
within the scope of a voluntary
agreement and plan of action that has
come into force under the DPA.
The DPA requires that each proposed
plan of action be reviewed by the
Attorney General prior to becoming
effective. If, after consulting with the
Chairman of the Federal Trade
Commission, the Attorney General finds
that the purposes of the DPA’s plans of
action provision ‘‘may not reasonably be
achieved through a . . . plan of action
having less anticompetitive effects or
without any . . . plan of action,’’ the
plan of action may become effective. 50
U.S.C. 4558(f)(1)(B). All functions
which the Attorney General is required
or authorized to perform by section 708
of the DPA have been delegated to the
Assistant Attorney General, Antitrust
Division. 28 CFR. 0.40(l).
On August 17, 2020, the Voluntary
Agreement for the Manufacture and
Distribution of Critical Healthcare
Resources Necessary to Respond to a
Pandemic (‘‘Voluntary Agreement’’)
became effective. The proposed Plan of
Action contains documented methods to
implement the Voluntary Agreement by
creating a mechanism to immediately
meet exigent PPE requests anywhere in
the Nation, and to ensure that actions to
support PPE stockpiling and reserves do
not interfere with immediate
requirements that would result in an
unacceptable risk to healthcare
providers or other potential PPE
recipients. This mechanism involves the
establishment several Sub-Committees
by PPE type, which are designed to
foster a close working relationship
among FEMA, the Department of Health
and Human Services (‘‘HHS’’), and
participants in the Sub-Committees to
address national defense needs through
cooperative action under the direction
and active supervision of FEMA. The
proposed Plan of Action includes terms,
conditions and procedures under which
participants agree voluntarily to
participate in the Sub-Committees.
FEMA has certified that the proposed
Plan of Action is necessary to provide
for the national defense in the event of
a pandemic.
FEMA requested that the Assistant
Attorney General, Antitrust Division,
issue a finding that the proposed Plan
of Action satisfies the statutory criteria
set forth in 50 U.S.C. 4558(f)(1)(B). The
Assistant Attorney General, Antitrust
Division, reviewed the proposed Plan of
Action and consulted on it with the
Chairman of the Federal Trade
Commission. On December 2, 2020, by
