For the Broadband Plan, the focus on usage in the survey is crucial to formulating policy recommendations on how broadband can increase business productivity and economic growth in the United States. The business survey is being conducted pursuant to the Broadband Data Improvement Act. This is authorized under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009. Federal Communications Commission.

Analysis of Proposed Agreement Containing Consent Orders To Aid Public Comment I. Introduction The Federal Trade Commission (‘‘Commission’’) has accepted, subject to final approval, an Agreement Containing Consent Orders (‘‘Consent Agreement’’) with Pfizer Inc. (‘‘Pfizer’’), which is designed to remedy the anticompetitive effects of its proposed acquisition of Wyeth. Under the terms of the Consent Agreement, Pfizer must divest to Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. (‘‘BI’’) Wyeth’s U.S. animal health business (‘‘Fort Dodge’’) in all areas of overlap, except for equine tapeworm parasiticides and equine herpesvirus vaccines. In the area of equine tapeworm parasiticides, the consent order requires Pfizer to return to Virbac S.A. (‘‘Virbac’’) Pfizer’s exclusive distribution rights for these products. In the area of equine herpesvirus vaccines, Pfizer is ordered to divest to BI Pfizer’s equine herpesvirus products. The assets for each of the divestitures include all of the relevant intellectual property, customer lists, research and PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 development information, and regulatory materials, as well as two of Fort Dodge’s three U.S. manufacturing facilities. These divestitures fully preserve the competition that the proposed acquisition would otherwise eliminate. The proposed Consent Agreement has been placed on the public record for thirty days for receipt of comments by interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty days, the Commission will again review the proposed Consent Agreement and the comments received to decide whether it should withdraw from the proposed Consent Agreement, modify it, or make final the accompanying Decision and Order (‘‘Order’’). Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 25, 2009, Pfizer proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Wyeth, whereby each outstanding share of Wyeth common stock will be converted into the right to receive $33 in cash and 0.985 share of Pfizer common stock. Both parties manufacture human and animal health biological and pharmaceutical products. The combined firm would have projected worldwide revenues of almost $72 billion. The Commission’s complaint alleges that the proposed acquisition, if consummated, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 18, and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 45, in U.S. markets for the manufacture and sale of: (1) Killed cattle respiratory vaccines; (2) modified-live cattle respiratory vaccines; (3) cattle reproductive vaccines; (4) cattle pasteurella vaccines; (5) lactating-cow mastitis treatments; (6) dry-cow mastitis treatments; (7) dairy cattle broadspectrum antibiotics with low milkwithholding times; (8) cattle macrocyclic lactone parasiticides; (9) cattle benzimidazole parasiticides; (10) canine combination vaccines; (11) canine monovalent parvovirus vaccines; (12) canine monovalent coronavirus vaccines; (13) canine monovalent leptospira vaccines; (14) canine bordetella vaccines; (15) feline combination vaccines; (16) feline leukemia vaccines; (17) companion animal rabies vaccines; (18) companion animal cephalosporin antibiotics; (19) equine tapeworm parasiticides containing praziquantel; (20) equine herpesvirus vaccines; and (21) equine joint-injected steroids. The proposed Consent Agreement remedies the alleged violations by replacing in each of the relevant markets the lost E:\FR\FM\27NON1.SGM 27NON1
