1Opinion of the Court
COFFIN, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiffs-appellants, five oil companies engaged in the distribution of gasoline and other petroleum products in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 1 challenge the validity of a Commonwealth regulation controlling the rents that may be charged to gasoline filling stations. Appellants claim that the regulation is preempted by the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act (PMPA), 15 U.S.C. § 2801, et seq. The District Court of Puerto Rico concluded that the PMPA does not preempt the Commonwealth’s rent-control regulation, 622 F.Supp. 540. We affirm.
