The Virginian-Pilot, respectively, are attached as Exhibit B.
4. The 60-day comment period specified in 15 U.S.C. 16(b) commenced on
August 18, 2005 and terminated on October 17, 2005.
5. During the 60-day comment period, the United States received no comments from
members of the public concerning the proposed Final Judgment.
6. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 16(b), the United States furnished copies of the proposed
Final Judgment and Competitive Impact Statement to anyone requesting them.
7. On August 15, 2005, the defendant complied with the requirement of 15 U.S.C.
16(g) when the defendant filed with the Court a statement indicating that it had not had any
communications concerning the proposed Final Judgment that were reportable under 15 U.S.C.
16(g).
8. With these steps having been taken, the parties have satisfied their obligations
under the APPA. Pursuant to the Stipulation filed on August 8, 2005, and 15 U.S.C. 16(e), the
Court may now enter the Final Judgment without further hearings, if it determines that entry of
the Final Judgment is in the public interest. For the reasons set forth in the Competitive Impact
Statement, the United States believes that the proposed Final Judgment satisfies the public
interest standard of 15 U.S.C. 16(e). The United States therefore requests
