		The NFPA is a private, voluntary membership organization that "may be presumed to be acting primarily on * * * its own behalf," rather than in the public interest.
		First, the NFPA is a private organization, not the government, and persuading a private organization to take steps that injure a rival is not equivalent to petitioning the government to take governmental action that injures a rival.
		Private standard-making also "can be rife with opportunities for anticompetitive activity" (456 U.S. at 571), in part because the proceedings of such organizations are conducted in private and are not open to public scrutiny.

	Foreign Assistance: Private Voluntary Organizations' Contributions and Limitations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Support for a greater PVO role in delivering assistance seems to stem from (1) general disappointment with the results of over 40 years of government-to-government assistance and (2) a perception that private organizations are better able to identify development needs and deliver help.
		PVOs are "private" in that a portion of their resources comes from private sources and "voluntary" in that they receive voluntary contributions from the general public.
		According to PVO representatives, volunteers are generally well received by the citizens of the developing country because they are viewed as experts who volunteer their time and are not perceived as having the political agendas sometimes associated with bilateral assistance or the profit motive of contractors.
