Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 204 / Monday, October 22, 2012 / Notices 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. wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with 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.

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.

DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by November 21, 2012.

All comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910–0297. Also include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ila S. Mizrachi, Office of Information Management, Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., PI50– 400B, Rockville, MD 20850, 301–796– 7726, Ila.Mizrachi@fda.hhs.gov. 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 Sfmt 4703 64523 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: E:\FR\FM\22OCN1.SGM 22OCN1
