POST-CONSUMMATION RELIEF The absence of pre-consummation relief from the district court, and Whole Foods’ subsequent integration activities, have made it more difficult for the Commission to obtain complete relief in this matter. However, the proposed Consent Agreement will provide substantial relief to consumers in 17 geographic markets across the United States. Moreover, acceptance of the proposed Consent Agreement will bring immediate, certain relief and avoid the expense and uncertainty inherent in continued litigation. Reestablishing a PNOS competitor in these markets under the Wild Oats banner will reintroduce direct price, quality, and service competition in these areas, restoring to a substantial degree the competition that was eliminated by the acquisition, providing important benefits to consumers, and perhaps creating a springboard for broader competition nationwide.

Proposed Project

    Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) (OMB No. 0920-0740, exp. June 
2010.)--Revision--National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB 
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Some MMP interview questions were revised to make them easier for 
patients to understand and respond appropriately. Medical record 
abstraction sections were removed, and a provider survey has been 
added. Revisions to previously approved instruments have been included. 
The purpose of MMP is to supplement the HIV/AIDS surveillance programs 
in 26 selected state and local health departments, which collect 
information on persons diagnosed with, living with, and dying from HIV 
infection and AIDS.
    MMP collects data on behaviors and clinical outcomes from a 
probability sample of HIV-infected adults receiving care in the U.S. 
Collection of data from interviews with HIV-infected patients provides 
information on patient demographics, and the current levels of 
behaviors that may facilitate HIV transmission: Sexual and drug use 
behaviors; patients' access to, use of and barriers to HIV-related 
secondary prevention services; utilization of HIV-related medical 
services; and adherence to drug regimens. Collection of data from 
patient medical records provide information on: Demographics and 
insurance status; the prevalence and incidence of AIDS-defining 
opportunistic illnesses and co-morbidities related to HIV disease; the 
receipt of prophylactic and antiretroviral medications; and whether 
patients are receiving screening and treatment according to Public 
Health Service guidelines. The provider survey will collect data from a 
nationally representative sample of HIV care providers selected to 
participate in MMP. The provider survey will collect information on: 
Health care providers' professional training history, ongoing sources 
of training and continuing education about HIV care and treatment, 
perceptions of patients' barriers to care and reasons for declining HIV 
care, awareness of HIV related resources, and approach to 
antiretroviral therapy management and HIV risk reduction counseling. No 
other Federal agency collects national population-based behavioral and 
clinical information from HIV-infected adults in care or HIV care 
providers.
    The data will have significant implications for policy, program 
development, and resource allocation at the state/local and national 
levels. Users of MMP data include, but are not limited to, Federal 
agencies, State and local health departments, clinicians, researchers, 
and HIV prevention and care planning groups.
    There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.
    The total estimated annualized burden hours are 9,603.
