BILLING CODE 6210–01–S 

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

Granting of Request for Early

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

intends to take any action with respect 

to these proposed acquisitions during 

the applicable waiting period.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Office of the Secretary 

Federal Financial Participation in State 

Assistance Expenditures; Federal 

Matching Shares for Medicaid, the 

State Children’s Health Insurance 

Program, and Aid to Needy Aged, 

Blind, or Disabled Persons for October 

1, 2006 Through September 30, 2007 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DHHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Medical 

Assistance Percentages and Enhanced 

Federal Medical Assistance Percentages 

for Fiscal Year 2007 have been 

calculated pursuant to the Social 

Security Act (the Act). These 

percentages will be effective from 

October 1, 2006 through September 30, 

2007. This notice announces the 

calculated ‘‘Federal Medical Assistance 

Percentages’’ and ‘‘Enhanced Federal 

Medical Assistance Percentages’’ that 

we will use in determining the amount 

of Federal matching for State medical 

assistance (Medicaid) and State 

Children’s Health Insurance Program 

(SCHIP) expenditures, and Temporary 

Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) 

Contingency Funds, the Federal share of 

Child Support Enforcement collections, 

Child Care Mandatory and Matching 

Funds of the Child Care and 

Development Fund, Foster Care Title 

IV–E Maintenance payments, and 

Adoption Assistance payments. The 

table gives figures for each of the 50 

States, the District of Columbia, Puerto 

Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, 

American Samoa, and the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands. Programs under title XIX of the 

Act exist in each jurisdiction; programs 

under titles I, X, and XIV operate only 

in Guam and the Virgin Islands; while 

a program under title XVI (Aid to the 

Aged, Blind, or Disabled) operates only 

in Puerto Rico. Programs under title XXI 

began operating in fiscal year 1998. The 

percentages in this notice apply to State 

expenditures for most medical services 

and medical insurance services, and 

assistance payments for certain social 

services. The statute provides separately 

for Federal matching of administrative 

costs. 

Sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8)(B) of 

the Act require the Secretary of Health 

and Human Services to publish the 

Federal Medical Assistance Percentages 

each year. The Secretary is to calculate 

the percentages, using formulas in 

sections 1905(b) and 1101(a)(8)(B), from 

the Department of Commerce’s statistics 

of average income per person in each 

State and for the Nation as a whole. The 

percentages are within the upper and 

lower limits given in section 1905(b) of 

the Act. The percentages to be applied 

to the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, 

the Virgin Islands, Guam, American 

Samoa, and the Northern Mariana 

Islands are specified in statute, and thus 

are not based on the statutory formula 

that determines the percentages for the 

50 states. 

The ‘‘Federal Medical Assistance 

Percentages’’ are for Medicaid. Section 

1905(b) of the Act specifies the formula 

for calculating Federal Medical 

Assistance Percentages as follows: 

‘‘Federal medical assistance percentage’’

for any State shall be 100 per centum less the 

State percentage; and the State percentage 

shall be that percentage which bears the same 

ratio to 45 per centum as the square of the 

per capita income of such State bears to the 

square of the per capita income of the 

continental United States (including Alaska) 

and Hawaii; except that (1) the Federal 

medical assistance percentage shall in no 

case be less than 50 per centum or more than 

83 per centum, (2) the Federal medical 

assistance percentage for Puerto Rico, the 

Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana 

Islands, and American Samoa shall be 50 per 

centum. 

Section 4725 of the Balanced Budget 

Act of 1997 amended section 1905(b) to 

provide that the Federal Medical 

Assistance Percentage for the District of 

Columbia for purposes of titles XIX and 

XXI shall be 70 percent. For the District 

of Columbia, we note under the table of 

Federal Medical Assistance Percentages 

the rate that applies in certain other 

programs calculated using the formula 

otherwise applicable, and the rate that 

applies in certain other programs 

pursuant to section 1118 of the Social 

Security Act. 

Section 2105(b) of the Act specifies 

the formula for calculating the 

Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance 

Percentages as follows: 

The ‘‘enhanced FMAP’’, for a State for a 

fiscal year, is equal to the Federal medical 

assistance percentage (as defined in the first 

sentence of section 1905(b)) for the State 

increased by a number of percentage points 

equal to 30 percent of the number of 

percentage points by which (1) such Federal 

medical assistance percentage for the State, is 

less than (2) 100 percent; but in no case shall 

the enhanced FMAP for a State exceed 85 

percent. 

The ‘‘Enhanced Federal Medical 

Assistance Percentages’’ are for use in 

the State Children’s Health Insurance 

Program under Title XXI, and in the 

Medicaid program for certain children 

for expenditures for medical assistance 

described in sections 1905(u)(2) and 

1905(u)(3) of the Act. There is no 

specific requirement to publish the 

Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance 

Percentages. We include them in this 

notice for the convenience of the States. 

DATES: The percentages listed will be 

effective for each of the 4 quarter-year 

periods in the period beginning October 

1, 2006 and ending September 30, 2007.
