to justify the sunk costs associated with
the required investment.
Entry into the retail packaged welding
gases market would also not be timely,
likely or sufficient to deter or counteract
the likely adverse competitive effects of
the proposed acquisition. Currently, Air
Liquide is the only entity capable of
filling packaged gases in the relevant
geographic markets for retail packaged
welding gas, all of which are in Alaska.
A new entrant would be required either
to purchase bulk gases and construct a
fill plant to put the gases in packaged
form or to establish a supply network to
transport packaged gases from a fill
plant outside of Alaska to the relevant
geographic markets. Because of these
obstacles, new entry into the relevant
markets is unlikely to occur.
XI. The Consent Agreement
The proposed Consent Agreement is
designed to eliminate the competitive
concerns raised by Air Liquide’s
proposed acquisition of Airgas in each
relevant market. Under the terms of the
proposed Consent Agreement, Air
Liquide is required to divest sixteen
ASUs, twelve of which are currently
owned and operated by Air Liquide and
four of which are currently owned and
operated by Airgas. The Air Liquideoperated ASUs are located in: (1)
Burlington, Wisconsin; (2) Chattanooga,
Tennessee; (3) Feura Bush, New York;
(4) Holland, Ohio; (5) Mapleton, Illinois;
(6) Middletown, Ohio; (7) Mount
Vernon, Indiana; (8) Pittsboro, Indiana;
(9) St. Marys, Pennsylvania; (10)
Spartanburg, South Carolina; (11) Wake
Forest, North Carolina; and (12) West
Point, Virginia. The Airgas-operated
ASUs are located in: (1) Carrollton,
Kentucky; (2) Gaston, South Carolina;
(3) Lawton, Oklahoma; and (4)
Mulberry, Arkansas. Air Liquide is also
required to divest both of its nitrous
oxide plants, one located in Denora,
Pennsylvania and the other in
Richmond, California. Air Liquide must
also divest four co-located liquid carbon
dioxide and dry ice facilities, which
comprise its entire dry ice business,
located in: (1) Borger, Texas; (2) Galva,
Iowa; (3) Sioux City, Iowa; (4) and
Martinez, California.
Additionally, Air Liquide will divest
two liquid carbon dioxide-only facilities
in Madison, Mississippi and
Washington, Indiana along with the
associated rail depot located in Fort
Meade, Florida. Lastly, Air Liquide will
divest Airgas’s retail packaged welding
gas and hardgoods stores located in
Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kenai,
Alaska. Additionally, with regard to the
ASU assets, although the
anticompetitive effects of Air Liquide’s

acquisition of Airgas are related to the
bulk liquid oxygen, nitrogen, and argon
markets, the pipeline oxygen and
nitrogen businesses and contracts
located at the ASUs are also being
divested because they are critical to the
viability, efficiency, and
competitiveness of each plant. Air
Liquide has agreed to divest the
required facilities, together with all
related equipment, customer and supply
contracts, technology, and goodwill, to
one or more Commission-approved
buyers within four months of
consummating its transaction with
Airgas.
Any acquirer of the divested assets
must receive the prior approval of the
Commission. The Commission’s goal in
evaluating possible purchasers of
divested assets is to maintain the
competitive environment that existed
prior to the acquisition. A proposed
acquirer of divested assets must not
itself present competitive problems.
There are a number of parties interested
in purchasing the assets to be divested
that have the expertise, experience, and
financial viability to successfully
purchase and manage these assets and
retain the current level of competition
in the relevant markets. The
Commission is therefore satisfied that
sufficient potential buyers for the
divested assets in each relevant market
currently exist.
The proposed Consent Agreement
incorporates a proposed Order to
Maintain Assets to ensure the continued
operations of the divestiture assets
while a sale is conducted, and for a brief
transition period once the Commission
approves a buyer for the assets. The
proposed Order to Maintain Assets also
allows the Commission to appoint an
interim monitor to oversee compliance
with all the obligations and
responsibilities under the proposed
Order and requires Air Liquide to
execute an agreement conferring upon
the interim monitor all of the rights,
powers, and authorities necessary to
permit the monitor to ensure the
continued health and competitiveness
of the divested businesses.
The purpose of this analysis is to
facilitate public comment on the
proposed Consent Agreement, and it 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.

Title: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting Program
Implementation Plan Guidance and
Form 1: Demographic and Service
Utilization Data.
OMB No.: 0970–0389.
Description: Social Security Act, Title
V, Section 511 (42 U.S.C. 711), as
amended by the Medicare Access and
Children’s Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) Reauthorization Act of 2015
(Pub. L. 114–10), created the Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home
Visiting Program (MIECHV) and
authorized the Secretary of HHS (in
Section 511(h)(2)(A)) to award grants to
Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian
tribes), tribal organizations, or urban
Indian organizations to conduct an early
childhood home visiting program. The
legislation set aside 3 percent of the
total MIECHV program appropriation
(authorized in Section 511(j)) for grants
to tribal entities. Tribal MIECHV grants,
to the greatest extent practicable, are to
be consistent with the requirements of
the MIECHV grants to states and
jurisdictions (authorized in Section
511(c)), and include conducting a needs
assessment and establishing
quantifiable, measurable benchmarks.
The Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Child Care and Office
of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Early Childhood Development, in
collaboration with the Health Resources
and Services Administration, Maternal
and Child Health Bureau, awarded
grants for the Tribal MIECHV Program.
The Tribal MIECHV grant awards
support 5-year cooperative agreements
to conduct community needs and
readiness assessments, plan for and
implement high-quality, culturallyrelevant, evidence-based home visiting
programs in at-risk Tribal communities,
and engage in rigorous evaluation
activities to build the knowledge base
on home visiting among American
Indian and Alaska Native populations.
In Year 1 of the cooperative
agreement, grantees must (1) conduct a
comprehensive community needs and
readiness assessment and (2) develop a
plan to respond to identified needs.
Grantees will be required to conduct or
update a needs and readiness
assessment and develop an
implementation plan to respond to
those needs, including a plan for

demographic and service utilization
data, performance measurement, and
continuous quality improvement, and
participating in or conducting rigorous
evaluation activities. Grantees are
expected to submit the implementation
plan by the end of Year 1 of the grant,
with draft submission milestones
throughout the first year. As part of the
non-competing continuation application
for Years 3–5 of the grant, Tribal
MIECHV grantees will update their
implementation plans as necessary to
ensure that the plan accurately reflects
activities to be completed throughout
the remainder of the grant.
Following each year that Tribal
MIECHV grantees implement home
visiting services, they must also submit
Form 1: Demographic and Service
Utilization Data.
Respondents: Tribal Maternal, Infant,
and Early Childhood Home Visiting
Program Grantees. (The information
collection does not include direct
interaction with individuals or families
that receive the services).
