agreed to it, and if so, why it did so. Surely it did not do so simply to save itself litigation expense. But did it do so because it was being challenged by other government agencies and it wanted to ‘‘ get the Commission off its back’’ ? Or did it do so in hopes that Part II would be used as leverage in future government challenges to the practices of its competitors? In my judgment, neither of the latter explanations is consistent with the public interest.

Nor am I comforted that the purpose and effect of Part II may be to ‘‘ fence in ’’ Google. I am aware of the teaching of Jacob Siegel Co. v. FTC, 327 U.S. 608 (1946) that a ‘‘ fencing in ’’ order may cover legal conduct as long as that conduct is ‘‘reasonably related ’’ to the violation. Even if Part II may be considered to cover conduct that is

‘‘reasonably related ’’ to the violation here, any consent order, whether litigated or negotiated, must be consistent with the public interest. I look forward to public comment about whether Part II of the proposed consent order meets that requirement.

Proposed Project: Effects of Insurance Market Reforms—OMB No. 0990–NEW– Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE). Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval on a new data collection, consisting of a survey of a national sample of health insurers to learn about the effects of various recent insurance market reforms from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on premiums and coverage for certain benefits. ASPE will use the results of this survey in conjunction with other data sources to build a more complete picture of the effects of the insurance market reforms that went into effect in September of 2010. The surveyinstrument will be a one-time, selfadministered web survey sent to eight of the 12 largest insurers in each state plus the District of Columbia based on total 2009 comprehensive major medical premiums, yielding a targeted sample of 408 health insurers. Each health insurer will be asked to provide self-reported data on the percentage of covered lives with coverage for various benefits before and after the insurance market reforms went into effect, any effect of these reforms on premiums, and coverage for select other benefits under consideration for the essential benefits package. The survey design and content have been reviewed by both the ASPE project officer and other ASPE personnel, and by several former and current chief actuaries at health insurers. Data collection activities will be completed within 60 days (two months) of OMB Clearance.
