agreement and the comments received, 

and will decide whether it should 

withdraw from the agreement or make 

final the agreement’s proposed order. 

Respondents, through subsidiaries, 

own and operate several restaurant 

chains, including Olive Garden 

Restaurant, Red Lobster Restaurant, 

Smokey Bones Restaurant, and Bahama 

Breeze Restaurant. Respondents 

advertise, sell, and distribute Darden 

Gift Cards through their restaurants and 

Web sites, and third parties. Darden Gift 

Cards are plastic, stored-value cards, 

similar in size and shape to credit or 

debit cards, often branded with one or 

more of Darden’s restaurant logos. 

Darden Gift Cards typically can be used 

to purchase goods or services at any of 

Darden’s restaurant locations. This 

matter concerns the respondents’

alleged failure to disclose, or failure to 

disclose adequately, material terms and 

conditions of Darden Gift Cards. 

The Commission’s complaint alleges 

that, in the advertising and sale of 

Darden Gift Cards, respondents have 

represented, expressly or by 

implication, that a consumer can 

redeem a Darden Gift Card for goods or 

services of an equal value to the 

monetary amount placed on the card. 

Respondents have failed to disclose, or 

failed to disclose adequately, that, after 

a specified number of consecutive 

months of non-use (i.e., 15 or 24 

months), respondents deduct a $1.50 fee 

per month from the value of the Darden 

Gift Card until it is used again. The 

proposed complaint alleges that the 

failure to disclose adequately this 

material fact is a deceptive practice. 

The proposed consent order contains 

provisions designed to prevent 

respondents from engaging in similar 

acts and practices in the future. 

Part I.A. of the proposed order 

prohibits respondents from advertising 

or selling Darden Gift Cards without 

disclosing, clearly and prominently: (a) 

The existence of any expiration date or 

automatic fees, in all advertising, and 

(b) all material terms and conditions of 

any expiration date or automatic fee, at 

the point of sale and prior to purchase. 

The effect of this provision is to require 

respondents to alert consumers to 

potential fees and expiration dates 

during advertising, and to fully disclose 

all relevant details at the point of sale, 

before consumers purchase the gift 

cards. 

Part I.B. of the proposed order 

prohibits respondents from advertising 

or selling Darden Gift Cards without 

disclosing, clearly and prominently the 

existence of any automatic fee or 

expiration date on the front of the gift 

card. 

Part II of the proposed order prohibits 

respondents from making any 

misrepresentation about any material 

term or condition associated with the 

Darden Gift Card. 

Part III.A. of the proposed order 

prohibits respondents from collecting or 

attempting to collect any dormancy fee 

on any Darden Gift Card activated prior 

to the date of issuance of the proposed 

order. 

Part III.B. of the proposed order 

requires respondents, upon issuance of 

the order, to cause the amount of any 

fees assessed on a Darden Gift Card 

prior to the date of issuance of the order 

to be restored to the card. 

Part III.C. of the proposed order 

requires respondents to provide notice 

to consumers of the automatic 

restoration of fees required by Section 

III.B. This notice must be clearly and 

prominently disclosed on respondents’

websites, including http:// 

www.darden.com, http:// 

www.dardenrestaurants.com, http:// 

www.redlobster.com, http:// 

www.olivegarden.com, http:// 

www.smokeybones.com, and http:// 

www.bahamabreeze.com. 

Part IV of the proposed order contains 

a document retention requirement, the 

purpose of which is to ensure 

compliance with the proposed order. It 

requires that respondents maintain 

accounting and sales records for Darden 

Gift Cards, copies of ads and 

promotional material that contain 

representations covered by the proposed 

order, complaints and refund requests 

relating to the Darden Gift Cards, and 

other materials that were relied upon by 

respondents in complying with the 

proposed order. 

Part V of the proposed order requires 

respondents to distribute copies of the 

order to various principals, officers, 

directors, and managers of respondents 

as well as to the officers, directors, and 

managers of any third-party vendor who 

engages in conduct related to the 

proposed order. 

Part VI of the proposed order requires 

respondents to notify the Commission of 

any changes in corporate structure that 

might affect compliance with the order. 

Part VII of the proposed order requires 

respondents to file with the Commission 

one or more reports detailing 

compliance with the order. 

Part VIII of the proposed order is a 

‘‘sunset’’ provision, dictating the 

conditions under which the order will 

terminate twenty years from the date it 

is issued or twenty years after a 

complaint is filed in Federal court, by 

either the United States or the FTC, 

alleging any violation of the order. 

The purpose of this analysis is to 

facilitate public comment on the 

proposed order. It is not intended to 

constitute an official interpretation of 

the proposed order or to modify in any 

way its terms. 

By direction of the Commission.

Secretary.

Proposed Project 

Risk Perception, Worry, and Use of 

Ovarian Cancer Screening Among 

Women At High, Elevated, and Average 

Risk of Ovarian Cancer—NEW—

National Center for Chronic Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion 

(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Accounting for an estimated 22,220 

cases and 16,210 deaths in 2005, 

ovarian cancer is the most frequent 

cause of death from gynecologic 

malignancy in the United States. In over 

80 percent of patients, ovarian cancer 

presents at a late clinical stage, affording 

a five-year survival rate of only 28 

percent. For cases where ovarian cancer 

is identified in Stage I, however, the 

five-year survival rate exceeds 90 

percent. 

Identifying a woman’s risk of ovarian 

cancer plays a large role in determining 

the appropriateness of having her 

undergo screening. It is only for women 

with a strong family history of ovarian 

and/or breast cancer or women with a

17554 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 67 / Monday, April 9, 2007 / Notices 

hereditary genetic risk for ovarian 

cancer that the currently available 

screening modalities of CA 125 and 

transvaginal ultrasound are 

recommended. 

Statements from the scientific and 

medical community regarding 

recommendations for ovarian cancer 

screening play only a partial role in a 

woman’s decision to undergo screening 

exams. Numerous psychological and 

sociological factors can affect this 

decision as well, including a woman’s 

knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and 

experiences. For instance, a woman’s 

experience of cancer within her family 

or experience with a friend who has had 

cancer may influence a woman’s 

screening decisions. 

The literature also notes that women 

with a family history of ovarian cancer 

report increased worry and high levels 

of perceived risk. A positive association 

has also been shown between screening 

behavior and family history. Recent 

studies indicate, however, that 

screening is not occurring in proportion 

to women’s levels of risk. These 

findings underscore the need for a better 

understanding of how perceived risk of 

ovarian cancer may influence worry 

about cancer and ultimately screening 

behavior. 

To address these issues, the Division 

of Cancer Prevention and Control 

(DCPC), at the National Center for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion, Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention, is conducting a study to 

examine the effects of family history of 

cancer, knowledge about ovarian cancer, 

worry and/or anxiety, and perceived 

risk of cancer on the likelihood of a 

woman undergoing screening for 

ovarian cancer. By also examining other 

psycho-social factors such as a woman’s 

closeness to a relative or friend with 

cancer, coping style, cancer worry, use 

of other cancer screening tests, social 

support, and provider’s 

recommendations, the study will 

elucidate the causal pathway leading 

from actual risk (as measured by family 

history) through perceived risk to intent 

to undergo screening and actual 

screening behavior. 

The proposed study will consist of 

two tasks. In Task 1, a baseline survey 

will be administered through a 

computer-assisted telephone interview 

(CATI) program. Initially, an estimated 

32,000 women will be screened to 

determine eligibility, and then 

approximately 2000 women will be 

asked a series of questions over a 35- 

minute time period. Questions will 

cover key variables related to ovarian 

cancer screening including coping, 

anxiety, perceived risk, worry, personal 

cancer history, family cancer history, 

closeness with family or friends who 

have had cancer, screening behavior, 

and knowledge of ovarian cancer. 

In Task 2, a follow-up questionnaire 

will be administered, also using a CATI 

program, to approximately 1600 of the 

women included in the baseline 

questionnaire. Each of the women will 

be contacted one year after they 

complete the baseline survey. The 

researchers anticipate a 15 percent 

attrition of the sample between baseline 

and follow-up. In the follow-up, women 

will be asked a series of questions over 

a 15-minute time period. The purpose of 

this data collection effort is to determine 

if risk perception has changed and to 

ask about screening for ovarian cancer, 

since the baseline questionnaire was 

administered. 

All data will be collected over a threeyear time period. The total estimated 

annualized burden hours are 1,411. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time.
