On June 13, 2025, the Department of Justice published a notice in the Federal Register about the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC).
The notice states that on April 1, 2025, the MCDC sent written notifications to the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission. This was done under the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993.
The notifications are meant to extend the law’s rules that limit antitrust plaintiffs to only actual damages in some cases.
The notice lists three new members added to the MCDC:
- Defense Operations & Executions Solutions, Inc., W Melbourne, FL
- Systems & Technology Research, Woburn, MA
- The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
No other changes have been made to the membership or planned activities of the MCDC.
Membership in the group is still open. MCDC will continue to file more notifications when new members join.
MCDC first filed a notification under this law on November 13, 2015.
The Department of Justice published the first related notice on January 6, 2016 (81 FR 513).
The last membership notification was filed on January 6, 2025. Another notice about this was published on February 28, 2025 (90 FR 10945).
This most recent notice was signed by Suzanne Morris, Deputy Director of Civil Enforcement Operations, Antitrust Division.
