to attract customers.4 Recently, the FTC 

and the DOJ also have jointly advocated 

against the passage of regulations 

proposed by the Texas Real Estate 

Commission that would have effectively 

limited consumers’ ability to purchase a 

more limited, less expensive, set of real 

estate services.5 In May 2005, the FTC 

and the DOJ also sent a letter urging the 

Alabama Senate not to pass a bill that 

would also have restricted consumer 

choice in real estate service levels.6

Likewise, the two agencies also jointly 

issued a letter to the Governor of 

Missouri informing him of the 

competitive effects of a bill that 

similarly would have restricted the 

ability of Missouri real estate 

professionals to offer customized real 

estate services.7

Because of the substantial changes in 

the real estate brokerage marketplace, 

and consumers’ interest in a competitive 

real estate brokerage industry, the FTC 

and the DOJ will hold a workshop on 

Tuesday, October 25, 2005 in 

Washington, DC to provide a forum to 

discuss current issues affecting the 

competitiveness of real estate brokerage. 

In particular, discussion will center 

around the following topics: 

1. The Real Estate Transaction: 

including the details of the real estate 

transaction from both the buyer’s and 

seller’s side; how broker efforts affect 

property sale price and how long a 

property remains on the market; and the 

economics of buyer and seller brokerage 

agreements and alternatives to the 

traditional arrangements. 

2. The Multiple Listing Service: 

including how the MLS works and its 

efficiencies compared to alternative 

models; the legal and economic issues 

raised by the MLS; intellectual property 

rights in MLS listings; and MLS’ online 

listing policies. 

3. Private and State Actions that 

Inhibit Competition among Sellers’

Brokers: including minimum-service 

requirements; state licensing and other 

requirements for for-sale-by-owner Web 

sites; local MLS rules that affect fee-forservice brokers and discount full-service 

brokers; and how any of the above 

restrictions may help protect consumers 

or otherwise provide benefits to 

consumers. 

4. Private and State Actions that 

Inhibit Competition among Buyers’

Brokers: including state anti-rebate 

provisions; state rules that define online 

display of listings as advertising; 

minimum-service requirements applied 

to buyers’ brokers; discrimination in 

compensation against discount buyers’

brokers; and how any of the above 

restrictions may help protect consumers 

or otherwise provide benefits to 

consumers. 

Requests To Participate as a Panelist in 

the Workshop 

Parties seeking to participate as 

panelists in the workshop must notify 

both the FTC and the DOJ in writing on 

or before September 25, 2005. Requests 

to participate as a panelist should be 

submitted electronically by e-mail to 

RealEstatePanelistRequest@ftc.gov and 

RealEstateWorkshop@usdoj.gov or, if 

mailed, should be submitted in the 

manner detailed in the ADDRESSES

section, and should be captioned 

‘‘Competition Policy in the Real Estate 

Industry—Request to Participate, Project 

No. V050015.’’ Parties are asked to 

include in their requests a statement 

setting forth their experience in or 

knowledge of the issues on which the 

workshop will focus and their contact 

information, including telephone 

number, facsimile number, and e-mail 

address (if available), to enable the FTC 

and the DOJ to provide parties with 

notice if selected. For requests filed in 

paper form, an original and two copies 

of each document should be submitted. 

Panelists will be notified on or before 

October 11, 2005 if they have been 

selected. 

Using the following criteria, FTC and 

DOJ staff will select a limited number of 

panelists to participate in the workshop: 

1. The party has expertise in or 

knowledge of the issues that are the 

focus of the workshop; 

2. The party’s participation would 

promote a balance of interests being 

represented at the workshop; or 

3. The party has been designated by 

one or more interested parties (who 

timely file requests to participate) as a 

party who shares group interests with 

the designator(s). 

In addition, there will be time during 

the workshop for those not serving as 

panelists to ask questions. 

Form and Availability of Comments 

The FTC and the DOJ request that 

interested parties submit written 

comments on the above questions and 

other related issues to foster greater 

understanding of these topics. 

Especially useful are any studies, 

surveys, research, and empirical data. 

All comments should be filed as 

prescribed in the ADDRESSES section 

above, and must be received on or 

before November 28, 2005. 

By direction of the Commission.

BILLING CODE 6750–01–P 

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

Granting of Request for Early 

Termination of the Waiting Period 

Under the Premerger Notification 

Rules 

Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 

U.S.C. 18a, as added by Title II of the 

Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust 

Improvements Act of 1976, requires 

persons contemplating certain mergers 

or acquisitions to give the Federal Trade 

Commission and the Assistant Attorney 

General advance notice and to wait 

designated periods before 

consummation of such plans. Section 

7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies, 

in individual cases, to terminate this 

waiting period prior to its expiration 

and requires that notice of this action be 

published in the Federal Register. 

The following transactions were 

granted early termination of the waiting 

period provided by law and the 

premerger notification rules. The grants 

were made by the Federal Trade 

Commission and the Assistant Attorney 

General for the Antitrust Division of the 

Department of Justice. Neither agency 

intends to take any action with respect 

to these proposed acquisitions during 

the applicable waiting period.

Proposed Project 

Survey of HIV Care Providers—New—

National Center for HIV, STD, and TB 

Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC is requesting a 3-year approval 

from the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) to survey randomly 

selected HIV care providers (e.g., 

physicians and other care providers) in 

the United States regarding their 

training history, areas of specialization, 

ongoing sources of training and 

continuing education about HIV care, 

and awareness of HIV treatment 

guidelines and resources. Results from 

this survey will be used in conjunction 

with data from CDC’s Morbidity 

Monitoring Project (MMP) to assess who 

is providing HIV care, to examine the 

impact of provider characteristics on the 

quality and standard of care being 

provided to patients with HIV, to 

determine opportunities to improve 

resources available to HIV care 

providers, and to evaluate the reasons 

for sampled providers’ participation and 

non-participation in MMP. Participation 

in the survey is not contingent upon a 

provider’s involvement with the MMP. 

All selected HIV care providers will be 

asked to participate in the survey, 

regardless of their participation in the 

MMP. 

For this proposed data collection, 

MMP project areas have identified all 

HIV care providers in their jurisdictions, 

including those providers who may not 

be participating in the MMP project. Of 

this universe of HIV care providers, CDC 

plans to randomly survey 1,040 

providers. Respondents will have the 

option to use either a Web-based 

application or paper survey to 

participate in the survey. There is no 

cost to respondents to participate in this 

survey other than their time.
