exclusive dealing by Pfizer. Prescription
pharmaceutical customers (e.g.,
insurance companies) set up bid
processes for purchasing
pharmaceutical products on a productby-product (or category-by-category)
basis and have generally resisted efforts
by large pharmaceutical companies to
bundle products across categories,
unless the bundle is in the customer’s
best interest. We found no evidence that
this acquisition would undermine
customers’ ability to prevent
anticompetitive bundling. As a result,
we conclude that the addition of the
Wyeth portfolio of products to Pfizer’s
portfolio is not likely to enhance the
merged entity’s ability to engage in
anticompetitive bundling, especially
because the combined portfolio would
contain few blockbuster drugs.
Staff also investigated whether the
acquisition would create a patent
thicket by virtue of the breadth of the
combined companies’ patent portfolio.
A merger-created patent thicket could
reduce or eliminate competition in
human pharmaceutical products by
enabling the combined firm to prevent
other pharmaceutical companies from
developing products through the
enforcement of intellectual property
rights. After evaluating the parties’
respective patent portfolios in a number
of areas where both firms are active,
including, most notably, Alzheimer’s
disease, the evidence showed that the
combination of the intellectual property
of Pfizer with that of Wyeth would not
pose any greater barrier to entry to thirdparty companies than the intellectual
property held by the companies
individually.
Finally, staff evaluated whether the
transaction would decrease basic
research or the pace of innovation in
pharmaceutical markets by eliminating
a leader in pharmaceutical research and
development; changing the incentives of
companies performing pharmaceutical
research and development; or reducing
the number of potential research,
marketing, or funding partners.
Pharmaceutical research and
development is a dynamic field with
multiple participants including both
large and small traditional
pharmaceutical companies, specialty
pharmaceutical companies,
biotechnology companies, and contract
research organizations. The evidence
does not indicate that the combination
raises antitrust concerns in these
respects.
Even within the discrete product
areas where both Pfizer and Wyeth are
actively pursuing research and
development, such as treatments for
Alzheimer’s disease, we conclude that
VerDate Nov<24>2008

the transaction is not likely to affect
competition in basic research or
innovation. Within Alzheimer’s disease
specifically, fundamental information
about the disease, including its cause,
how to diagnose it prior to the
appearance of symptoms, and when
intervention must occur to modify the
disease, is still unknown. There is no
scientific consensus about the most
promising track for the treatment of
Alzheimer’s disease. As a result, it is a
dynamic area of drug development, and
the many companies working in this
disease area are pursuing many different
pathways with compounds that can
have different effects and risk factors.
Although Pfizer and Wyeth are two of
the most active companies pursuing
research and development activities in
the Alzheimer’s disease area, it is
unlikely that the combination of the
Pfizer and Wyeth’s Alzheimer’s disease
pipelines will diminish the incentives
of Pfizer or any other company to
compete in the research and
development of Alzheimer’s disease
treatments. Further, the combination of
Pfizer and Wyeth is not likely to affect
the ability of other companies to
continue to develop and ultimately
introduce new products to treat
Alzheimer’s disease.
The Commission’s extensive
investigation and commitment of
resources in this matter reflects its
dedication to ensuring that
pharmaceutical markets are competitive
and that consumers have access to
innovative and affordable medications.
Although the Commission, based on the
evidence gathered, determined that this
transaction did not raise anticompetitive
concerns in the markets for human
pharmaceuticals, the Commission
remains dedicated to ensuring that
pharmaceutical markets are competitive.
We will closely monitor these markets
and continue to evaluate future
transactions under the framework
explained here to determine their effect
on competition in the health care
market, and, where appropriate, take
action to ensure that any merger or
acquisition does not undermine the
pharmaceutical industry’s
competitiveness.
By direction of the Commission,
Commissioner Harbour and Commissioner
Kovacic recused.

Secretary.

Federal Financial Participation in State
Assistance Expenditures; Federal
Matching Shares for Medicaid, the
Children’s Health Insurance Program,
and Aid to Needy Aged, Blind, or
Disabled Persons for October 1, 2010
through September 30, 2011
Office of the Secretary, DHHS.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Federal Medical
Assistance Percentages (FMAP) and
Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance
Percentages (eFMAP) for Fiscal Year
2011 have been calculated pursuant to
the Social Security Act (the Act). These
percentages will be effective from
October 1, 2010 through September 30,
2011. This notice announces the
calculated FMAP and eFMAP rates that
the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) will use in
determining the amount of Federal
matching for State medical assistance
(Medicaid) and Children’s Health
Insurance Program (CHIP) expenditures,
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) Contingency Funds,
Child Support Enforcement collections,
Child Care Mandatory and Matching
Funds of the Child Care and
Development Fund, Foster Care Title
IV–E Maintenance payments, and
Adoption Assistance payments. The
table gives figures for each of the 50
States, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam,
American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands.
Programs under title XIX of the Act
exist in each jurisdiction. Programs
under titles I, X, and XIV operate only
in Guam and the Virgin Islands, while
a program under title XVI (Aid to the
Aged, Blind, or Disabled) operates only
in Puerto Rico. The percentages in this
notice apply to State expenditures for
most medical services and medical
insurance services, and assistance
payments for certain social services. The
Act provides separately for Federal
matching of administrative costs.
Sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8)(B) of
the Act require the Secretary of HHS to
publish the FMAP rates each year. The
Secretary calculates the percentages,
using formulas in sections 1905(b) and
1101(a)(8)(B), and calculations by the
Department of Commerce of average
income per person in each State and for
the Nation as a whole. The percentages
must fall within the upper and lower
limits given in section 1905(b) of the
Act. The percentages for the District of
E:\FR\FM\27NON1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 227 / Friday, November 27, 2009 / Notices
Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and
the Northern Mariana Islands are
specified in statute, and thus are not
based on the statutory formula that
determines the percentages for the 50
States.
Section 1905(b) of the Act specifies
the formula for calculating FMAPs as
follows:
‘‘Federal medical assistance percentage’’
for any State shall be 100 per centum less the
State percentage; and the State percentage
shall be that percentage which bears the same
ratio to 45 per centum as the square of the
per capita income of such State bears to the
square of the per capita income of the
continental United States (including Alaska)
and Hawaii; except that (1) the Federal
medical assistance percentage shall in no
case be less than 50 per centum or more than
83 per centum, (2) the Federal medical
assistance percentage for Puerto Rico, the
Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana
Islands, and American Samoa shall be 50 per
centum.
Section 4725(b) of the Balanced
Budget Act of 1997 amended section
1905(b) to provide that the FMAP for
the District of Columbia for purposes of
titles XIX and XXI shall be 70 percent.
For the District of Columbia, we note
under the table of FMAPs that other
rates may apply in certain other
programs. In addition, we note the rate
that applies for Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and
the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands in certain other
programs pursuant to section 1118 of
the Act.
Section 2105(b) of the Act specifies
the formula for calculating the eFMAP
rates as follows:
The ‘‘enhanced FMAP’’, for a State for a
fiscal year, is equal to the Federal medical
assistance percentage (as defined in the first
sentence of section 1905(b)) for the State
increased by a number of percentage points
equal to 30 percent of the number of
percentage points by which (1) such Federal
medical assistance percentage for the State, is
less than (2) 100 percent; but in no case shall
the enhanced FMAP for a State exceed 85
percent.
The eFMAP rates are used in the
Children’s Health Insurance Program
under Title XXI, and in the Medicaid
program for certain children for
expenditures for medical assistance
described in sections 1905(u)(2) and
1905(u)(3) of the Act. There is no
specific requirement to publish the
eFMAP rates. We include them in this
notice for the convenience of the States.
DATES: Effective Dates: The percentages
listed will be effective for each of the
four quarter-year periods beginning
October 1, 2010 and ending September
30, 2011.

Federal Financial Participation in State Assistance Expenditures;
Federal Matching Shares for Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance
Program, and Aid to Needy Aged, Blind, or Disabled Persons for October
1, 2010 through September 30, 2011
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DHHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (FMAP) and Enhanced
Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (eFMAP) for Fiscal Year 2011
have been calculated pursuant to the Social Security Act (the Act).
These percentages will be effective from October 1, 2010 through
September 30, 2011. This notice announces the calculated FMAP and eFMAP
rates that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will
use in determining the amount of Federal matching for State medical
assistance (Medicaid) and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
expenditures, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
Contingency Funds, Child Support Enforcement collections, Child Care
Mandatory and Matching Funds of the Child Care and Development Fund,
Foster Care Title IV-E Maintenance payments, and Adoption Assistance
payments. The table gives figures for each of the 50 States, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American
Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Programs under title XIX of the Act exist in each jurisdiction.
Programs under titles I, X, and XIV operate only in Guam and the Virgin
Islands, while a program under title XVI (Aid to the Aged, Blind, or
Disabled) operates only in Puerto Rico. The percentages in this notice
apply to State expenditures for most medical services and medical
insurance services, and assistance payments for certain social
services. The Act provides separately for Federal matching of
administrative costs.
Sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8)(B) of the Act require the Secretary
of HHS to publish the FMAP rates each year. The Secretary calculates
the percentages, using formulas in sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8)(B),
and calculations by the Department of Commerce of average income per
person in each State and for the Nation as a whole. The percentages
must fall within the upper and lower limits given in section 1905(b) of
the Act. The percentages for the District of
[[Page 62316]]
Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and
the Northern Mariana Islands are specified in statute, and thus are not
based on the statutory formula that determines the percentages for the
50 States.
Section 1905(b) of the Act specifies the formula for calculating
FMAPs as follows:
``Federal medical assistance percentage'' for any State shall be
100 per centum less the State percentage; and the State percentage
shall be that percentage which bears the same ratio to 45 per centum
as the square of the per capita income of such State bears to the
square of the per capita income of the continental United States
(including Alaska) and Hawaii; except that (1) the Federal medical
assistance percentage shall in no case be less than 50 per centum or
more than 83 per centum, (2) the Federal medical assistance
percentage for Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern
Mariana Islands, and American Samoa shall be 50 per centum.
Section 4725(b) of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 amended section
1905(b) to provide that the FMAP for the District of Columbia for
purposes of titles XIX and XXI shall be 70 percent. For the District of
Columbia, we note under the table of FMAPs that other rates may apply
in certain other programs. In addition, we note the rate that applies
for Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in certain other programs
pursuant to section 1118 of the Act.
Section 2105(b) of the Act specifies the formula for calculating
the eFMAP rates as follows:
The ``enhanced FMAP'', for a State for a fiscal year, is equal
to the Federal medical assistance percentage (as defined in the
first sentence of section 1905(b)) for the State increased by a
number of percentage points equal to 30 percent of the number of
percentage points by which (1) such Federal medical assistance
percentage for the State, is less than (2) 100 percent; but in no
case shall the enhanced FMAP for a State exceed 85 percent.
The eFMAP rates are used in the Children's Health Insurance Program
under Title XXI, and in the Medicaid program for certain children for
expenditures for medical assistance described in sections 1905(u)(2)
and 1905(u)(3) of the Act. There is no specific requirement to publish
the eFMAP rates. We include them in this notice for the convenience of
the States.
DATES: Effective Dates: The percentages listed will be effective for
each of the four quarter-year periods beginning October 1, 2010 and
ending September 30, 2011.
