Towanda and the townships of Wysox,

North Towanda, and Monroeton; (2) the

Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania area,

which includes the Borough of Mount

Carmel and the Township of Mount

Carmel; and (3) the Pittston,

Pennsylvania area, which includes the

city of Pittston, the townships of

Pittston and Jenkins, and the boroughs

of Dupont, Avoca, Hughestown, Duryea,

Yatesville, and Laflin, Pennsylvania.

According to the draft complaint, these

markets are highly concentrated and

entry is difficult or unlikely. Penn

Traffic’s acquisition of Acme may

reduce competition in these markets by

eliminating the direct competition

between Penn Traffic and Acme, by

increasing the likelihood that Penn

Traffic will become a dominant firm,

and by increasing the likelihood of

collusive behavior among the few

remaining competitors.

The agreement containing consent

order attempts to remedy the

Commission’s competitive concerns

about the acquisition. Under the terms

of the proposed order, Penn Traffic must

divest three supermarkets within

twelve-months, to a purchaser approved

by the Commission. The three stores to

be divested include the ‘‘Acme’’

supermarket located in Towanda,

Pennsylvania, the ‘‘Acme’’ supermarket

located in Pittston, Pennsylvania, and

either the ‘‘Acme’’ or the Penn Traffic

store located in Mount Carmel,

Pennsylvania.

For a period of ten years from the date

the order becomes final, the order also

prohibits Penn Traffic from acquiring,

without prior Commission approval,

stock, or any other interest in any

supermarket, or entity that owns or

operates a supermarket, located in the

areas of Towanda, Pittston, or Mount

Carmel, Pennsylvania. This prohibition

will not apply to the construction of

new facilities or the leasing of facilities

not operated as supermarkets within six

months of the offer to lease.

The purpose of this analysis is to

invite public comment concerning the

consent order and any other aspect of

this matter. This analysis is not

intended to constitute an official

interpretation of the agreement and

order or to modify its terms in any way.

Donald S. Clark,

Secretary.

ACTION: Notice of availability of funds.

SUMMARY: The Maternal and Child

Health Bureau (MCHB), HRSA,

announces that fiscal year (FY) 1995

funds are available for grants and

cooperative agreements for the

following activities: Maternal and Child

Health (MCH) Special Projects of

Regional and National Significance

(SPRANS), including special MCH

improvement projects (MCHIP) which

contribute to the health of mothers,

children, and children with special

health care needs (CSHCN); and genetic

disease testing, counseling and

information services. All awards will be

made under the program authority of

section 502(a) of the Social Security Act,

the MCH Federal Set-Aside Program. No

new hemophilia SPRANS grants will be

funded in FY 1995. Grants for MCH

research and training are being

announced in a separate notice.

Of the approximately $44 million

available for SPRANS activities in FY

1995 in categories covered by this

announcement, about $9.7 million will

be available to support approximately

65 new and competing renewal projects

at an average of $150,000 per award for

one year. The remaining funds will be

used to support continuation of existing

SPRANS activities. The actual amounts

available for awards and their allocation

may vary, depending on unanticipated

program requirements and the volume

and quality of applications. Awards are

made for grant periods which may run

from 1 to 5 years in duration. Funds for

the MCH Federal Set-Aside Program are

appropriated by Public Law 103–333.

Federal Set-Aside Program (42 CFR part
