2296 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 10 / Tuesday, January 17, 2012 / Notices 

3The Commission normally will issue an order 

for public comment but not issue a final order until 

it considers all comments received during the 

comment period. Here, however, consistent with 

Commission Rule 2.34(c), 16 CFR 2.34(c), the 

Commission has issued the Final Order in advance 

of the comment period. The Commission took this 

step to avoid any unnecessary and potentially 

costly delay to the larger underlying transaction 

involving the sale of ETP’s bulk propane business, 

which is not the subject of the Order, and is a 

highly seasonal business; that is, the market for 

bulk propane and related services is greatest during 

the winter and early spring. After the public 

comment period, the Commission will have the 

option to initiate a proceeding to reopen and 

modify the Decision and Order or commence a new 

administrative proceeding if the public comments 

lead it to believe that such action is appropriate. 

Express, LLC is sold to another entity, 

or, barring a sale, for a period of one 

year. The specified transition services 

include access to propane supply under 

specified terms. 

Section II.C of the Order requires that, 

for a period of two years, ETP cannot 

sell the Heritage Propane Express assets 

without prior written approval of the 

Commission. This ensures that the 

Commission will have an opportunity to 

review a future sale of these assets, 

particularly if the assets would not be 

reportable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino 

Antitrust Improvements Act. Section 

II.D requires ETP to provide prior 

notification to the Commission before 

acquiring any other cylinder exchange 

businesses for the next 10 years. Section 

II.E similarly requires AmeriGas to 

provide prior notification to the 

Commission before acquiring any other 

cylinder exchange businesses for the 

next 10 years. Both II.D and II.E provide 

that prior notification is not necessary 

for transactions that fall under a certain 

threshold in terms of the annual sales of 

propane exchange cylinders by any 

company that they propose to acquire. 

Section II.F addresses the availability 

of the transition services outlined in 

Amendment 2. It requires that AmeriGas 

make these transition and supply 

services available to ETP for up to one 

year, so that Heritage Propane Express, 

LLC can be operated as a viable entity. 

If that company is sold within one year, 

Section II.F requires that AmeriGas 

provide transition and propane supply 

services to Heritage Propane Express’s 

buyer for a period of six months, with 

an option to extend the arrangement for 

another six months. These provisions 

are designed to ensure that the Heritage 

Propane Express assets will continue to 

be viable as a stand-alone propane 

exchange cylinder business and that any 

new purchaser will have the necessary 

services and supply for a short 

transition period. Section II.G requires 

ETP to operate the Heritage Propane 

Express assets in a manner that 

maintains their economic viability for a 

period of two years or until ETP no 

longer holds an interest in the assets. 

The remaining Order provisions are 

standard reporting requirements to 

allow the Commission to determine ongoing compliance with the provisions of 

the Order. 

VII. Opportunity for Public Comment 3

The Final Order has been placed on 

the public record for 30 days to receive 

comments from interested parties. 

Comments received during this period 

will become part of the public record. 

After 30 days, the Commission will 

review the comments received and 

determine whether to take further 

action. The purpose of this analysis is 

to facilitate comment on the Consent 

Agreement and Order. This analysis 

does not constitute and official 

interpretation of the Consent Agreement 

or Order, not does it modify its terms in 

any way. The Consent Agreement does 

not constitute an admission by 

AmeriGas, ETP or ETP GP that they 

have violated the law or that the facts 

as alleged in the Complaint, other than 

the jurisdictional facts, are true. 

By direction of the Commission.

ACTION: Notice of FTR Bulletin 12–02, 

Calendar Year (CY) 2012 Privately 

Owned Vehicle Mileage Reimbursement 

Rates. 

SUMMARY: The General Services 

Administration’s (GSA) annual privately 

owned vehicle (POV) mileage 

reimbursement rate review has resulted 

in no rate changes when employees use 

their privately owned automobile 

(POA), their POA when Government 

owned automobiles (GOA) are 

authorized, their privately owned 

airplane, and/or their privately owned 

motorcycle for official purposes. FTR 

Bulletin 12–02 indicates that there will 

be no POV rate changes beginning on 

January 1, 2012. This notice announcing 

FTR Bulletin 12–02 is the only 

notification of this decision. 

FTR Bulletin 12–02 and all other FTR 

Bulletins are posted at www.gsa.gov/

ftrbulletins. Any further bulletins posted 

due to adjustments will be announced 

in the Federal Register. The POV 

Mileage Reimbursement Rate Web site is 

www.gsa.gov/mileage.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Change in Standard Procedure 

GSA’s annual privately owned vehicle 

(POV) mileage reimbursement rate 

review has resulted in no rate changes 

when employees use their privately 

owned automobile (POA), their POA 

when Government owned automobiles 

(GOA) are authorized, their privately 

owned airplane, and/or their privately 

owned motorcycle for official purposes. 

Historically, GSA has determined these 

rates by reviewing the annual standard 

automobile study conducted by the 

Internal Revenue Service, as well as 

conducting independent automobile, 

motorcycle, and aircraft studies, and/or 

by applying consumer price index data. 

GSA will continue to monitor these 

costs on a monthly basis and will adjust 

the rate if warranted. Any adjustments 

will be posted in the Federal Register 

and posted as a bulletin on GSA’s Web 

site (www.gsa.gov/ftrbulletins) and on 

our POV Mileage Reimbursement Rate 

Web site (www.gsa.gov/mileage). 

GSA posts the POV mileage 

reimbursement rates, formerly 

published in 41 CFR Chapter 301, solely 

on the Internet at www.gsa.gov/ftr. This 

process, implemented in FTR 

Amendment 2010–07 (75 FR 72965, 

Nov. 29, 2010), ensures more timely 

updates in mileage reimbursement rates 

by GSA for Federal employees on 

official travel. 

Notices published periodically in the 

Federal Register, such as this one, and 

the changes posted on the GSA Web 

site, now constitute the only notification 

of revisions to privately owned vehicle 

reimbursement rates for Federal 

agencies.

Proposed Project: Evaluation of the 

effectiveness of an educational 

interactive video on research integrity— 

OMB No. 0990–New–Office of Research 

Integrity. 

Abstract: The Office of Research 

Integrity (ORI) proposes to conduct a 

nine-month evaluation study of the 

effectiveness of an educational 

interactive video on research integrity. 

The study seeks to answer two 

questions: (a) Objectively, is the 

Educational Interactive Video for 

Research Integrity (EIVRI) effective in 

achieving learning outcomes? (b) 

Subjectively, do learners and teachers 

perceive the video simulation as 

effective in helping them learn and 

teach research integrity? To answer the 

first question, a pretest-posttest control 

group experimental design is used to 

assess the effectiveness of individual 

learning of research integrity principles 

and concepts through the use of the 

video simulation. The video simulation 

instruction will be incorporated into an 

existing syllabus for a research integrity 

or research ethics course for the 

treatment group. The control group will 

use the existing syllabus with no video 

simulation in class. Participants will be 

graduate students enrolled in these 

ethics courses to learn and apply the 

responsible conduct of research at 

educational institutions. Participants 

will fill out a demographics form to 

discern if they have had prior training 

experience in research integrity. Those 

who have prior training experience and 

those who do not have prior training 

experience will be randomly assigned to 

either the treatment group or the control 

group. The random assignment will be 

done by picking the last digit of each 

individual’s social security number for
