consent decrees in antitrust enforcement,
adding the unambiguous instruction that
[n]othing in this section shall be construed to
require the court to conduct an evidentiary
hearing or to require the court to permit
anyone to intervene.’’ 15 U.S.C. 16(e)(2). This
language effectuates what Congress intended
when it enacted the Tunney Act in 1974. As
Senator Tunney explained: ‘‘[t]he court is
nowhere compelled to go to trial or to engage
in extended proceedings which might have
the effect of vitiating the benefits of prompt
and less costly settlement through the
consent decree process.’’ 119 Cong. Rec.
24,598 (1973) (statement of Senator Tunney).
Rather, the procedure for the public-interest
determination is left to the discretion of the
court, with the recognition that the court’s
‘‘scope of review remains sharply proscribed
by precedent and the nature of Tunney Act
proceedings.’’ SBC Commc’ns, 489 F. Supp.

IV. Summary of Public Comment and the
United States’ Response
During the sixty-day comment period, the
United States received only one comment,
submitted by the American Medical
Association (‘‘AMA’’), which is attached to
this Response. In its June 4, 2012 comment,
the AMA expressed its support for the United
States’ analysis as well as the remedy
articulated in the proposed Final Judgment,
stating that the action against the defendants
‘‘address[es] the important issue of health
insurer consolidation.’’ AMA Comment at 1.
The United States has carefully reviewed the
comment and has determined that the
proposed Final Judgment remains in the
public interest.
The AMA is the largest association of
physicians and medical students in the
United States. The AMA’s comment states
that:
MA [Medicare Advantage] plans in
competitive markets have incentives to
submit lower premium bids to the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), have
more robust physician networks, and seek
high patient satisfaction and quality in order
to retain members. In contrast, less
competition between MA plans may decrease
the plans’ incentives to maintain seniors’
access to health care providers and minimize
out-of-pocket costs.
Id. The comment concludes that ‘‘[t]he
AMA supports the DOJ’s proposed final

2d 10, 17 (D.D.C. 2000) (noting that the ‘‘Tunney

duty, the Court, in making its public interest

reasonable under the circumstances.’’); S. Rep. No.
93–298 at 6 (1973) (‘‘Where the public interest can
be meaningfully evaluated simply on the basis of
briefs and oral arguments, that is the approach that
should be utilized.’’).

judgment regarding the acquisition of
Arcadian by Humana and the DOJ’s
continued work to ensure that competition
among insurers is sufficient to protect
consumers.’’ Id.
V. Conclusion
After reviewing the AMA’s public
comment, the United States continues to
believe that the proposed Final Judgment, as
drafted, provides an effective and appropriate
remedy for the antitrust violations alleged in
the Complaint, and is therefore in the public
interest. The United States will move this
Court to enter the proposed Final Judgment
after the AMA’s comment and this response
are published in the Federal Register.

Re: United States v. Humana Inc. and
Arcadian Management Services, Inc.;
Proposed Final Judgment and
Competitive Impact Statement (1:12–cv–
00464)
Dear Mr. Soven: On behalf of the physician
and medical student members of the
American Medical Association (AMA), I
write in regard to the complaint and
proposed final judgment filed by the
Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the
acquisition of Arcadian Management
Services, Inc. (‘‘Arcadian’’) by Humana Inc.
(‘‘Humana’’). The AMA files these comments
pursuant to the Antitrust Procedures and
Penalties Act, 15 U.S.C. 16(b–e) (the ‘‘Tunney
Act’’), because the DOJ’ s complaint and
proposed final judgment address the
important issue of health insurer
consolidation. The consolidation of health
insurance markets seriously impedes the
proper functioning of health care markets
overall, and oftentimes results in less care for
patients, higher premiums, and interference
with patient-physician relationships. The
AMA supports the DOJ’s careful review of
health insurer mergers and the DOJ’s
proposed final judgment on the acquisition of
Arcadian by Humana.
The DOJ’s complaint asserts that the
transaction would end the substantial ‘‘headto-head’’ competition between Humana and
PO 00000
Frm 00071
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Arcadian Medicare Advantage (MA) plans
and impair competition in 45 counties
located in Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Oklahoma, and Texas. According to the DOJ’s
estimate, the acquisition would give Humana
market shares ranging from 40 percent to 100
percent with respect to MA plans. These high
market shares create a significant risk that the
acquisition, if allowed to proceed unaltered,
would give Humana anti-competitive market
power in those 45 counties. MA plans in
competitive markets have incentives to
submit lower premium bids to the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), have
more robust physician networks, and seek
high patient satisfaction and quality in order
to retain members. In contrast, less
competition between MA plans may decrease
the plans’ incentives to maintain seniors’
access to health care providers and minimize
out-of-pocket costs.
The AMA supports the DOJ’s proposed
final judgment regarding the acquisition of
Arcadian by Humana and the DOJ’s
continued work to ensure that competition
among insurers is sufficient to protect
consumers.

ACTION: Notice of modification to
existing systems of records.
AGENCY:
The United States Postal
Service® is proposing to modify seven
General and Customer Privacy Act
Systems of Records. These
modifications are being made to account
for updates to the system location,
system manager(s) and address, and
notification procedures due to an
organizational re-design. Also included
is the addition of previously omitted
disclosure information, the removal of
records not retained or which are
outdated, the correction of retention
times, and the additional disclosure of
customs records. Lastly, a new system of
records is included for the Judicial
Officer.
DATES: The revision will become
effective without further notice on
October 15, 2012 unless comments
received on or before that date result in
a contrary determination.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed
or delivered to the Records Office,
United States Postal Service, 475

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is in accordance with the Privacy
Act requirement that agencies publish
their amended systems of records in the
Federal Register when there is a
revision, change, or addition. The Postal
ServiceTM has reviewed its systems of
records and has determined that these
seven General and Customer Privacy
Act Systems of Records should be
revised to modify system location;
categories of individuals covered by the
system; categories of records in the
system; authority of maintenance of the
system; purpose; routine uses of records
maintained in the system, including
categories of users and the purposes of
such uses; storage; retrievability;
retention and disposal; system
manager(s) and address; notification
procedure; record access procedures;
and record source categories.

I. Background
In 2011, the Postal Service began a
significant management and
organizational re-design. Many
executive titles have been updated to
reflect the new responsibilities of the
leadership teams which resulted in
changes to the location and custodian of
the records.
The other system modifications reflect
that some records may be provided to
the Office of Government Information
Services (OGIS) for the purpose of
resolving disputes between FOIA
requesters and federal agencies,
including the Postal Service.
Updates are also being made to
remove records no longer retained or
which are out of date, the correction of
retention times, and to clarify that
agencies other than the Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC) may receive
customs records.
Lastly, a new system of records is
being added to account for information
collected and stored by the Judicial
Officer.
II. Rationale for Changes to USPS
Privacy Act Systems of Records
In an ongoing organizational redesign,
many managerial titles and
responsibilities in the Postal ServiceTM
have been revised to reflect changes in
the structure of the organization. As a
result, there is a continuing need to
update the information concerning
Privacy Act Systems of Records to
reflect changes in the location,
custodian, identity, or title of
responsible officials.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:13 Sep 12, 2012
Jkt 226001
The Postal Service is modifying a
system of records to account for the
previous omission of an accounting of
disclosure when records may be
provided to OGIS for the purpose of
resolving disputes between FOIA
requesters and federal agencies,
including the Postal Service.
Furthermore, it is necessary to remove
outdated information and to account for
data not retained, and to update
retention times according to program
needs. Two systems of records are being
amended to clarify that agencies outside
of OFAC, such as the Bureau of Industry
and Security, are involved in export
control and may receive customs
records.
Lastly, a new system of records is
being added to account for information
collected and stored by the Judicial
Officer.
III. Description of Changes to Systems
of Records
The Postal Service is modifying the
seven systems of records listed below.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11),
interested persons are invited to submit
written data, views, or arguments on
this proposal. A report of the proposed
modifications has been sent to Congress
and to the Office of Management and
Budget for their evaluation. The Postal
ServiceTM does not expect this amended
notice to have any adverse effect on
individual privacy rights. The Postal
Service proposes amending the systems
as shown below:
USPS 500.200
System Name: Controlled
Correspondence, FOIA, and Privacy Act
Disclosure Records.
USPS 600.300
System Name: Public and

POSTAL SERVICE
Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Notice of modification to existing systems of records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Postal Service[supreg] is proposing to
modify seven General and Customer Privacy Act Systems of Records. These
modifications are being made to account for updates to the system
location, system manager(s) and address, and notification procedures
due to an organizational re-design. Also included is the addition of
previously omitted disclosure information, the removal of records not
retained or which are outdated, the correction of retention times, and
the additional disclosure of customs records. Lastly, a new system of
records is included for the Judicial Officer.
DATES: The revision will become effective without further notice on
October 15, 2012 unless comments received on or before that date result
in a contrary determination.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed or delivered to the Records Office,
United States Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW., Room 9431,
Washington, DC 20260-1101. Copies of all written comments will be
available at this address for public inspection and
[[Page 56677]]
photocopying between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jane Eyre, Manager, Records Office,
202-268-2608.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is in accordance with the
Privacy Act requirement that agencies publish their amended systems of
records in the Federal Register when there is a revision, change, or
addition. The Postal ServiceTM has reviewed its systems of
records and has determined that these seven General and Customer
Privacy Act Systems of Records should be revised to modify system
location; categories of individuals covered by the system; categories
of records in the system; authority of maintenance of the system;
purpose; routine uses of records maintained in the system, including
categories of users and the purposes of such uses; storage;
retrievability; retention and disposal; system manager(s) and address;
notification procedure; record access procedures; and record source
categories.
I. Background
In 2011, the Postal Service began a significant management and
organizational re-design. Many executive titles have been updated to
reflect the new responsibilities of the leadership teams which resulted
in changes to the location and custodian of the records.
The other system modifications reflect that some records may be
provided to the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) for
the purpose of resolving disputes between FOIA requesters and federal
agencies, including the Postal Service.
Updates are also being made to remove records no longer retained or
which are out of date, the correction of retention times, and to
clarify that agencies other than the Office of Foreign Assets Control
(OFAC) may receive customs records.
Lastly, a new system of records is being added to account for
information collected and stored by the Judicial Officer.
II. Rationale for Changes to USPS Privacy Act Systems of Records
In an ongoing organizational redesign, many managerial titles and
responsibilities in the Postal Service\TM\ have been revised to reflect
changes in the structure of the organization. As a result, there is a
continuing need to update the information concerning Privacy Act
Systems of Records to reflect changes in the location, custodian,
identity, or title of responsible officials.
The Postal Service is modifying a system of records to account for
the previous omission of an accounting of disclosure when records may
be provided to OGIS for the purpose of resolving disputes between FOIA
requesters and federal agencies, including the Postal Service.
Furthermore, it is necessary to remove outdated information and to
account for data not retained, and to update retention times according
to program needs. Two systems of records are being amended to clarify
that agencies outside of OFAC, such as the Bureau of Industry and
Security, are involved in export control and may receive customs
records.
Lastly, a new system of records is being added to account for
information collected and stored by the Judicial Officer.
III. Description of Changes to Systems of Records
The Postal Service is modifying the seven systems of records listed
below. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11), interested persons are invited
to submit written data, views, or arguments on this proposal. A report
of the proposed modifications has been sent to Congress and to the
Office of Management and Budget for their evaluation. The Postal
Service\TM\ does not expect this amended notice to have any adverse
effect on individual privacy rights. The Postal Service proposes
amending the systems as shown below:
USPS 500.200
System Name: Controlled Correspondence, FOIA, and Privacy Act
Disclosure Records.
USPS 600.300
System Name: Public and Confidential Financial Disclosure Reports.
USPS 800.000
System Name: Address Change, Mail Forwarding, and Related Services.
USPS 810.200
System Name: www.usps.com Ordering, Payment, and Fulfillment.
USPS 880.000
System Name: Post Office and Retail Services.
USPS 900.000
System Name: Identity and Document Verification Services.
IV. Description of New System of Records
The United States Postal Service is adding a new system of records
to its General Privacy Act Systems of Records Management System. This
new system of records is being established to account for information
being collected and stored by the Judicial Officer. The Postal Service
proposes adding the system as shown below:
USPS 600.500
System Name: Judicial Officer Records.
Accordingly, the Postal Service proposes changes in existing
systems of records and the addition of a new system of records as
follows:

Controlled Correspondence, FOIA, and Privacy Act Disclosure
Records.
