Transfers antitrust enforcement from the Federal Trade Commission to the Department of Justice.
The One Agency Act transfers antitrust enforcement responsibilities from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to the Department of Justice (DOJ). It mandates that all ongoing FTC antitrust actions, employees, assets, and funding be transferred to the DOJ. The FTC is prohibited from opening new investigations or matters related to antitrust laws. The DOJ may deputize FTC employees during the transition period. The FTC can continue unresolved actions with DOJ consent. The Act also modifies various laws to reflect the transfer of antitrust enforcement duties.
