acquisition is the worldwide market for
magnesium plates for photoengraving.
At the time of the acquisition, MEL and
Revere were the only manufacturers and
sellers of magnesium plate for
photoengraving, combining to account
for 100 percent of the relevant market.
III. Entry
Entry is not likely to deter or
counteract the anticompetitive effects of
the acquisition. In order to be suitable
for photoengraving applications,
magnesium must be rolled and coated to
exact and precise specifications.
Accordingly, a new entrant would
require substantial expertise in order to
enter the market. In addition, the market
is relatively small, which deters
potential entrants from investing in the
skill and expertise required for entry.

IV. Effects of the Acquisition
Absent the proposed Consent
Agreement, the acquisition would result
in further and ongoing competitive
harm in the worldwide market for
magnesium plates for photoengraving.
Prior to the acquisition, MEL and Revere
were the only providers of the relevant
product. As a result, the acquisition
eliminated actual, direct, and
substantial competition between MEL
and Revere, and resulted in a merger-tomonopoly in the market for magnesium
plates for photoengraving.
V. The Consent Agreement
The proposed Consent Agreement
remedies the competitive concerns
raised by the acquisition by requiring
MEL to sell the technology and knowhow for manufacturing magnesium
plates for photoengraving to Universal
Engraving. This divestiture replaces
competition that was eliminated as a
result of MEL’s acquisition of Revere.
Universal Engraving, based in
Overland Park, Kansas, is a global leader
in the manufacture and sale of products
used in the photoengraving process,
including brass and copper plates for
photoengraving applications. Currently,
Universal Engraving does not sell
magnesium plates for the
photoengraving process. However,
under the terms of the proposed
Consent Agreement, Universal
Engraving will acquire the assets
required to compete effectively in that
market.
The proposed Consent Agreement
also contains several provisions
designed to ensure that the divestiture
is successful. First, MEL must supply
Universal Engraving with magnesium
plate now, thereby allowing Universal
Engraving to enter the relevant market
immediately in competition with MEL.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:00 Oct 19, 2012
Jkt 229001
In addition, MEL must provide
Universal Engraving with technical
assistance related to the manufacture
and sale of magnesium plates for
photoengraving. Finally, MEL will
supply Universal Engraving with
chemicals that are used in the
photoengraving process, particularly,
chemicals that are used to engrave
magnesium plates.
If, after the public comment period
the Commission determines that
Universal Engraving is not an acceptable
acquirer of the assets to be divested, or
that the manner of the divestitures is not
acceptable, MEL must unwind the
divestiture and divest the assets within
180 days of the date the Order becomes
final to another Commission-approved
acquirer. If MEL fails to divest the assets
within the 180 days, the Commission
may appoint a trustee to divest the
relevant assets.
The purpose of this analysis is to
facilitate public comment on the
proposed Consent Agreement. This
analysis is not intended to constitute an
official interpretation of the proposed
Consent Agreement or to modify its
terms in any way.
By direction of the Commission.
Donald S. Clark,
Secretary.

format—a service that has not been
available to most people until very
recently. Because of Blue Button, over 1
million Americans have already
downloaded their health records from
their medical providers and insurance
companies, and the number is expected
to increase dramatically in the near
future.
Being able to access your health
information on demand can be
lifesaving in an emergency situation,
can help prevent medication errors, and
can improve care coordination so
everyone who is caring for you is on the
same page. However, too often health
information is presented in an unwieldy
and unintelligible way that makes it
hard for patients, their caregivers, and
their physicians to use. There is an
opportunity for talented designers to
reshape the way health records are
presented to create a better patient
experience.
The statutory authority for this
challenge competition is Section 105 of
the America COMPETES
Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111–358).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Subject of Challenge Competition:
The purpose of this challenge is to
improve the design of the medical
record so it is more usable by and
meaningful to patients, their families,
and others who take care of them. This
is an opportunity to take the plain-text
Blue Button file and enrich it with
visuals and a better layout. Innovators
will be invited to submit their best
designs for a medical record that can be
printed and viewed digitally.
This challenge will focus on the
content defined by a format called the
Continuity of Care Document (CCD). A
CCD is a common template used to
describe a patient’s health history and
can be output by electronic medical
record (EMR) software. Submitted
designs should use the sections and
fields found in a CCD. See the resources
section on Challenge.gov for a sample
CCD.
Challenge entrants will submit a
design that:
D Improves the visual layout and style
of the information from the medical
record.
D Makes it easier for a patient to
manage his/her health.
D Enables a medical professional to
digest information more efficiently
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:00 Oct 19, 2012
Jkt 229001
D Aids a caregiver such as a family
member or friend in his/her duties and
responsibilities with respect to the
patient
Entrants should be conscious of how
the wide variety of personas will affect
their design. Our healthcare system
takes care of the following types of
individuals:
D An underserved inner-city parent
with lower health literacy.
D A senior citizen that has a hard time
reading.
D A young adult who is engaged with
technology and mobile devices.
D An adult whose first language is not
English.
D A patient with breast cancer
receiving care from multiple providers.
D A busy mom managing her kids’
health and helping her aging parents.
This challenge is an opportunity for
talented individuals to touch the lives of
Americans across the country through
design. The most innovative designs
will be showcased in an online gallery
and in a physical exhibit at the Annual
ONC Meeting in Washington DC.
Winning submissions will receive
monetary prizes.
A panel of curators will select a final
design (that may combine elements of
numerous winning designs) that will be
built and open-sourced on the code
sharing community Github. Open
sourcing the final product will enable
EHR developers to improve on it by
adding new functionality or creating
new styles that serve different patient
populations, and to integrate it into
actual products.
The Department of Veterans Affairs
enthusiastically supports the opensource development of the design
because it could enable them to improve
MyHealtheVet, the patient portal used
by veterans and their families across the
country.
Because of the collaborative and open
source nature of the challenge, all
entries are required to be submitted
under a Creative Commons license. This
license allows the community to use
and adapt the designs while ensuring
that the designer receives attribution.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
SUMMARY:
Prescription Drug User Fee Cover
Sheet; Form FDA 3397—(OMB Control
Number 0910–0297)—Extension
Under the prescription drug user fee
provisions of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act)
(sections 735 and 736 (21 U.S.C. 379g
and 379h)), as amended, FDA has the
authority to assess and collect user fees
for certain drug and biologics license
applications and supplements to those
applications. Under this authority,
pharmaceutical companies pay a fee for
certain new drug applications (NDAs),
biologics license applications (BLAs), or
supplements submitted to the Agency
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703

for review. Because the submission of
user fees concurrently with applications
and supplements is required, review of
an application by FDA cannot begin
until the fee is submitted. The
Prescription Drug User Fee Cover Sheet,
Form FDA 3397, is designed to provide
the minimum necessary information to
determine whether a fee is required for
review of an application, to determine
the amount of the fee required, and to
account for and track user fees. The
form provides a cross-reference of the
fee submitted for an application by
using a unique number tracking system.
The information collected is used by
FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research (CDER) and Center for
Biologics Evaluation and Research
(CBER) to initiate the administrative
screening of NDAs, BLAs, and/or
supplemental applications to those
applications.
Respondents to this collection of
information are new drug and biologics
manufacturers. Based on FDA’s database
system for fiscal year (FY) 2011, there
are an estimated 260 manufacturers of
products subject to the Prescription
Drug User Fee Act (Pub. L. 105–115).
The total number of annual responses is
based on the number of submissions
received by FDA in FY 2011. CDER
received 3,363 annual responses that
include the following submissions: 114
NDAs; 4 BLAs; 1,900 manufacturing
supplements; 1,209 labeling
supplements; and 136 efficacy
supplements. CBER received 768 annual
responses that include the following
submissions: 6 BLAs; 698
manufacturing supplements; 44 labeling
supplements; and 20 efficacy
supplements. The estimated hours per
response are based on past FDA
experience with the various
submissions.
FDA is revising Form FDA 3397 in the
following ways: (1) By updating the
applicable Web sites; (2) by adding a
Privacy Act Notice pursuant to the
Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a(3)j;
(3) by adding 351(k) applications to the
CDER and CBER lists of applications
and supplements for which Form FDA
3397 need not be submitted; (4) by
adding ‘‘or proper name’’ to instruction
number 3; and (5) by making minor
editorial changes.
In the Federal Register of May 18,
2012 (77 FR 29663), FDA published a
60-day notice requesting public
comment on the proposed collection of
information. No comments were
received.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:
