Notice is hereby given pursuant to the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act, 15 U.S.C. 16(b)(h), that a proposed Final Judgment, Stipulation, and Competitive Impact Statement have been filed with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in United States of America v. National Association of Realtors[supreg], No. 05C5140. On September 8, 2005, the United States filed a Complaint alleging that the National Association of Realtors[supreg] (``NAR'') violated section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. 1, by adopting policies that suppress competition from real estate brokers who use passwordprotected ``virtual office Web sites'' or ``VOWs'' to deliver highquality brokerage services to their customers. The proposed Final Judgment, filed on May 27, 2008, requires NAR to repeal the challenged policies and to adopt new rules that do not discriminate against brokers who use VOWs.
