(codified at 15 U.S.C. §§ 16(b)-(h) ("Tunney Act")), and states:
- The proposed Final Judgment against Wind River Systems, Inc. was filed with the
Court on June 21, 2002. 15 U.S.C. § 16(b).

U.S.C. § 16(g).
- Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 16(b) the proposed Final Judgments and the Competitive
Impact Statement were published in the Federal Register on October 21, 2002, at
67 Fed. Reg. 64657 (2002).
- A summary of the terms of the proposed Final Judgments and the Competitive

- The 60-day period for public comments on the proposed Final Judgments,

December 20, 2002.
- The United States received and responded to two comments on the proposed Final
Judgments. The United States' response to the public comments, as well as the
comments received, were filed with the Court on January 15, 2003, and published

Pursuant to the Stipulations filed on June 21, 2002, and August 15, 2002, the Court may
enter the proposed Final Judgments after it determines that the Judgments satisfy the public
interest standard of 15 U.S.C. § 16(e). Plaintiff's Competitive Impact Statement and Response to Public Comments demonstrate that the proposed Final Judgments are in the public interest. Accordingly, Plaintiff requests that the Court enter the proposed Final Judgments without further hearings. Copies of the Wind River and The MathWorks Final Judgments are attached at Tabs 1 and 2, respectively.
