Analysis of Agreement Containing 

Consent Order To Aid Public Comment 

The Federal Trade Commission has 

accepted, subject to final approval, an 

agreement containing a consent order 

from Soyo, Inc. (‘‘Soyo’’). Soyo, located 

in Ontario, California, is a distributor of 

computer-related hardware and other 

consumer electronics products. 

The proposed consent order has been 

placed on the public record for thirty 

(30) days for reception of comments by 

interested persons. Comments received 

during this period will become part of 

the public record. After thirty (30) days, 

the Commission will again review the 

agreement and the comments received 

and will decide whether it should 

withdraw from the agreement or make 

final the agreement’s proposed order. 

This matter concerns cash rebate 

offers that Soyo advertised to 

consumers. The complaint alleges that 

Soyo engaged in deceptive practices 

relating to these rebate offers. 

Specifically, the complaint alleges that 

Soyo falsely represented that: (1) 

Rebates would be mailed within a 

reasonable period of time after receipt of 

a consumer’s valid request, (2) within 

ten to twelve weeks after receipt of a 

consumer’s valid request, and (3) within 

ten to twelve weeks of the last date on 

which a valid request could be 

postmarked. The complaint alleges that 

thousands of consumers who submitted 

valid requests for rebates since 2004 

experienced substantial, unreasonable 

delays, including delays of one year or 

longer. It is further alleged that from 

October 2004 to March 2006, over 95 

percent of respondent’s rebate checks 

were delivered later than twelve weeks 

after the last date on which a valid 

request could be postmarked, with an 

average delivery time of approximately 

24 weeks. 

The proposed order contains 

provisions designed to prevent Soyo 

from engaging in similar acts and 

practices in the future. Part I of the 

proposed order prohibits Soyo from 

misrepresenting the time in which any 

rebate will be mailed and from failing to 

provide any rebate within the time 

specified, or if no time is specified, 

within thirty days. This provision also 

prohibits the company from 

misrepresenting any material terms of 

any rebate program, including the status 

of or reasons for any delay in providing 

any rebate. Part II of the proposed order 

is a redress provision which requires 

Soyo to pay all valid rebate requests to 

consumers who purchased Soyo 

products and whose rebates are past 

due. This provision also requires Soyo 

to send a rebate to any eligible 

purchaser who contacts it or the FTC for 

a period of seventy-five (75) days after 

service of the order. 

Parts III through VI of the proposed 

order are reporting and compliance 

provisions. Part VII provides that the 

order will terminate after twenty (20) 

years, with certain exceptions. 

The purpose of this analysis is to 

facilitate public comment on the 

proposed order, and it is not intended 

to constitute an official interpretation of 

the agreement and proposed order or to 

modify in any way their terms. 

By direction of the Commission. 

Donald S. Clark, 

Secretary.

Standards Program Local Public Health 

Governance Assessment (OMB 0920–

Director (OD), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Office of Chief of Public Health 

Practice is proposing to revise and 

reinstate the formal, voluntary data 

collection that assesses the capacity of 

local boards of health to deliver the 

essential services of public health. 

Electronic data submission will be used 

when local boards of health complete 

the public health assessment. 

A three-year approval is being sought 

with the revised data collection 

instrument. The original data collection 

instrument has been valuable in 

assessing performance and capacity and 

identifying areas for improvement. It is 

anticipated that the updated data 

collection instrument will be 

voluntarily used by local boards of 

health for similar purposes. 

From 1998–2002, the CDC National 

Public Health Performance Standards 

Program convened workgroups with the 

National Association of County and City 

Health Officials (NACCHO), The 

Association of State and Territorial 

Health Officials (ASTHO), the National 

Association of Local Boards of Health 

(NALBOH), the American Public Health 

Association (APHA), and the Public 

Health Foundation (PHF) to develop 

performance standards for public health 

systems based on the essential services 

of public health. In 2005, CDC 

reconvened workgroups with these 

same organizations to revise the data 

collection instruments, in order to 

ensure the standards remain current and 

improve user friendliness. 

There is no cost to the respondent, 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annual burden hours are 875.
