One Agency Act
This bill consolidates antitrust enforcement authority in one agency by transferring all Federal Trade Commission (FTC) antitrust functions, employees, assets, and funding to the Department of Justice (DOJ). The bill also transfers to DOJ the responsibility for reviewing specified communications transactions that is currently the duty of the Federal Communications Commission.
The bill does not remove the authority of the FTC to police certain unfair and deceptive acts and practices.
To transfer antitrust enforcement functions from the Federal Trade 
    Commission to the Department of Justice, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``One Agency Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) It is the policy of the United States to promote the 
        vigorous, effective, and efficient enforcement of the antitrust 
        laws.
            (2) The overlapping antitrust enforcement jurisdiction of 
        the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission has 
        wasted taxpayer resources, hampered enforcement efforts, and 
        caused uncertainty for businesses and consumers in the United 
        States.
            (3) It is preferable that primary Federal responsibility 
        for enforcing the antitrust laws of the United States be given 
        to a single agency, and the Department of Justice is best 
        suited to do so.

        impact of any proposed covered transaction shall be solely the 
        responsibility of the Department of Justice pursuant to the 
        antitrust laws, and neither the Federal Communications 
        Commission nor any State commission or franchising authority 
        shall have any authority to conduct such review.
            (2) Consultation.--In reviewing the competitive impact of a 
        proposed covered transaction, the Attorney General shall 
        solicit and consider the views of the Federal Communications 
        Commission.

            (1) In general.--A determination of the Federal 
        Communications Commission described in paragraph (2) with 
        respect to a proposed covered transaction shall be limited to

        meets the technical, financial, character, and citizenship 
        qualifications that the Commission has prescribed by rule under 
        the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) to hold

        serve the public interest, without regard to whether the 
        determination is phrased as whether the present or future 
        public convenience and necessity require or will require the 
        transaction or whether the public interest, convenience, and 
        necessity will be served by the transaction.
