expiration date of its opt-out cookies
from ten (10) days to ten (10) years.
Specifically, the proposed order
prevents Chitika from using, selling, or
transferring ‘‘any information that can be
associated with a Chitika user or a
Chitika user’s computer or device’’ that
the company obtained prior to March 1,
2010. In addition to restricting the use
of this data, within sixty (60) days after
the service of the order, Chitika must
delete any such information stored in
Chitika users’ cookies and any
information retained in Chitika’s files
that would allow the information to be
associated with a particular consumer or
that consumer’s computer or device.
Parts IV through VIII of the proposed
order are reporting and compliance
provisions. Part IV requires Chitika to
retain documents relating to its
compliance with the order. Part V
requires dissemination of the order to
all current and future principals,
officers, directors, managers, employees,
agents, and representatives having
responsibilities relating to the subject
matter of the order. Part VI ensures
notification to the FTC of changes in
corporate status. Part VII mandates that
Chitika submit a report to the
Commission detailing its compliance
with the order. Part VIII provides that
the order expires after twenty (20) years,
with certain exceptions.
The purpose of the analysis is to aid
public comment on the proposed order.
It is not intended to constitute an
official interpretation of the proposed
order or to modify its terms in any way.
By direction of the Commission.

Proposed Project
Healthcare System Surge Capacity at
the Community Level—New-National
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic
Infectious Diseases, (NCEZID), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention,
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Healthcare Preparedness Activity,
Division of Healthcare Quality
Promotion (DHQP) at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
works with other federal agencies, state
governments, medical societies and
other public and private organizations
to promote collaboration amongst
healthcare partners, and to integrate
healthcare preparedness into federal,
state and local public health
preparedness planning. The goal of the
Activity is to help local communities’
healthcare delivery and public health
sectors effectively and efficiently
prepare for and respond to urgent and
emergent threats.
Surge is defined as a marked increase
in demand for resources such as
personnel, space and material. Health
care providers manage both routine
surge (predictable fluctuations in
demand associated with the weekly
calendar, for example) as well as
unusual surge (larger fluctuations in
demand caused by rarer events such as
pandemic influenza). Except in
extraordinary cases, providers are
expected to manage surge while
adhering to their existing standards for
quality and patient safety.

Currently, health care organizations
are expected to prepare for and respond
to surges in demand ranging from a
severe catastrophe (for example, a
nuclear detonation) to more common,
less severe events (for example, a worsethan-usual influenza season). CDC and
other federal agencies have dedicated
considerable funding and technical
assistance towards developing and
coordinating community-level
responses to surges in demand, but it
remains a difficult task.
While there is extensive research on
managing collaborations during times of
extraordinary pressure where response
to surge takes precedence over other
activities, less is known about
developing and maintaining integrated
collaborations during periods where the
system must respond to unusual surge
but also continue the routine provision
of health care. In particular, studies
have not explored how these
collaborations can build on sustainable
relationships between a broad range of
stakeholders (including primary care
providers) in communities with
different market structures and different
degrees of investment in public health.
This study aims to generate
information about the role of
community-based collaborations in
disaster preparedness that the CDC can
use to develop its programs guiding and
supporting these collaborations. This
project will explore barriers and
facilitators to coordination on surge
response in ten communities, eight of
which have been studied longitudinally
since the mid-1990s as part of the
Center for Studying Health System
Change’s (HSC’s) Community Tracking
Study (CTS). Interviews of local
healthcare stakeholders will be
conducted at 10 sites.
Interviews will be conducted at a total
of 63 organizations over the two years
of this project. Within each of the ten
communities studied, two emergency
practitioner respondents (one from a
safety-net hospital and one from a nonsafety-net hospital), two primary care
providers (one from a large practice and
one from a small practice) and two local
preparedness experts (one from the
County or local public health agency,
and one coordinator or collaboration
leader) will be interviewed. In three
sites (Phoenix, Greenville and Seattle)
an additional respondent will be
identified from an outlying rural area to
offer the perspective of providers in
those communities. There is no cost to
respondents except their time. The total
annualized burden is 63 hours.

$150 million for the first quarter of FY
2010 (that is, through December 31,
2009). Section 5005 of the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(ARRA, Pub. L. 111–5, enacted on
February 17, 2009) extended the QI
program by providing $412.5 million in
additional funds for the remaining three
quarters of FY 2010 and $150 million in
funds for the first quarter of 2011 (that
is, through December 31, 2010).
Most recently with respect to funding
for the QI program for FY 2010, section
3 of the ‘‘Emergency Aid to American
Survivors of the Haiti Earthquake Act’’
enacted on January 27, 2010 (Haiti
Earthquake Act, Pub. L. 111–127)
amended section 1933(g)(2)(M) of the
Social Security Act (the Act) to provide
an additional $50 million in funding for
States’ FY 2010 QI allotments. Prior to
enactment of the Haiti Earthquake Act,
there was only $562.5 million available
for States’ FY 2010 QI allotments. Under
the current Medicaid statute, as
amended by the Haiti Earthquake Act, a
total of $612.5 million is available for
States’ QI program in FY 2010.
B. Allotments for FY 2011 and
Thereafter
As previously stated, section 5005 of
the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA, Pub.
L. 111–5, enacted on February 17, 2009)
extended the QI program by providing
$150 million in additional funds for the
first quarter of FY 2011 (that is, through
December 31, 2010). Section 3 of the
‘‘Emergency Aid to American Survivors
of the Haiti Earthquake Act’’ enacted on
January 27, 2010 (Haiti Earthquake Act,
Pub. L. 111–127) amended section
1933(g)(2)(M) of the Social Security Act
(the Act) and provided an additional
$15 million for States’ FY 2011 QI
allotments; that brings the total funds
available for the QI program in FY 2011
to $165 million. Most recently, section
110 of the Medicare and Medicaid
Extenders Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–309,
enacted on December 15, 2010)
amended section 1933 of the Social
Security Act and provides for $720
million for the QI program in FY 2011
in addition to the currently available
$165 million for a total of $885 million
available for funding the QI program for
