    Section 5: Principles of Navigation, Maureen K. Ohlhausen

    United States of America Federal Trade Commission Section 5: Principles of Navigation Remarks of Maureen K. Ohlhausen1 Commissioner, Federal Trade Commission U.S. Chamber of Commerce Washington, D.C. July 25, 2013 I. Introduction Good morning. I am delighted to be here at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Let me thank Sean Heather of the Chamber for inviting me to speak today. In my remarks, I would like to discuss unfair methods of competition (UMC) under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.2 By that, of course, I mean standalone Section 5 enforcement – separate from our enforcement of the antitrust laws. My primary goal in making these remarks is to continue the dialogue on Section 5, both inside and outside the Commission.3 As a Commissioner, I have called for our agency to issue some type of policy statement or other guidance on how and when it will pursue standalone Section 5 cases. Today I offer some thoughts on what might inform such a statement, as well as some guiding and limiting principles for consideration by my colleagues at the Commission and by interested parties outside the agency. Finally, calling on these principles, I will suggest how the agency should prioritize its competition efforts. II. A Sea of Uncertainty For many decades, the Commission’s exercise of its UMC authority has launched the agency into a sea of uncertainty, much like the agency weathered when using its unfairness authority in the consumer protection area in the 1970s. In issuing our 1980 statement on the 1 The views expressed in this speech are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Trade Commission or any other Commissioner.

NINETY YEARS AND TWO DAYS IN FORTY-FIVE MINUTES STEPHEN CALKINS* The Federal Trade Commission throws unusually good parties. Why this is true is not obvious-but it is obviously true. Perhaps the ability to party well is inherent in a collegial body. Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, are forced to coexist. Although the agency has experimented with strife, harmony has proven the superior approach. And how better to harmonize than through parties? Every FTC alum has favorite memories of inaugural parties, farewell parties, and holiday parties. Who can forget the time that-and discretion prevents the printing of the tale. So enamored of parties are ErC-ers that they continue going to FTC parties even after graduating from the agency, so to speak, as proven by the continued existence of the Castro C. Geer Chapter of the Federal Trade Commission Alumni Association.' To the list of fabled parties must now be added the Commission's 90th birthday party. The author of this commentary was drafted to attend the proceedings and then share reflections on the highlights and low- lights.

    Politics and Partisanship in U.S. Federal Antitrust Enforcement

    POLITICS AND PARTISANSHIP IN U.S. FEDERAL ANTITRUST ENFORCEMENT WILLIAM E. KOVACIC* U.S. antitrust law provides an informative context in which to examine what guides the behavior of regulatory agencies. Congress cast the federal antitrust statutes in broad terms1 and gave the Department of Justice and Fed- eral Trade Commission much latitude to decide what conduct to proscribe and how to remedy infringements. The interest in predicting how the DOJ and the FTC will use their authority reflects the formidable capacity of federal anti- trust enforcement to affect individual firms and entire industries. Modern experience illustrates the magnitude of enforcement discretion in the U.S. antitrust system. In a number of areas, the DOJ and the FTC have adjusted enforcement priorities significantly over time. For example, in the 1960s and 1970s, distribution practices were core elements of FTC antitrust enforcement.2 Since the late 1980s, however, the FTC has brought just two Robinson-Patman Act3 cases, and the Commission has initiated no vertical * Global Competition Professor of Law and Policy, George Washington University Law School; Non-Executive Director, United Kingdom Competition and Markets Authority.

    Perspectives on State and Federal Antitrust Enforcement

    CALKINS.DOC 06/21/04 3:59 PM PERSPECTIVES ON STATE AND FEDERAL ANTITRUST ENFORCEMENT STEPHEN CALKINS† ABSTRACT This Article reviews federal and (especially) state antitrust enforcement in light of the Microsoft proceeding. Criticism of state enforcement based on that case is misplaced. The Article identifies three consensus comparative advantages of state enforcers: familiarity with local and regional markets, closeness to state and local institutions, and ability and experience in compensating individuals. A review of state enforcement activities finds that the vast majority are consistent with one or more of these advantages. The Article also identifies hallmarks of generally accepted federal civil non-merger enforcement: both antitrust agencies participate actively, using a variety of tools, while showing support for mainstream, economics- based antitrust and an interest in addressing important questions, litigating, and addressing legal issues arising in private as well as public cases. These factors are considered through review of the agencies’ role in addressing the appropriate application of the per se rule, the rule of reason, and mid-level review. The Article ends with modest recommendations. Enforcers should continue to use their array of powers, they should address systemic issues in the antitrust system, and they should apologize less. State enforcers, in particular, need to do a better job of helping observers understand what they actually do—which is something on which state enforcers are working, and something to which this Article may contribute.
