FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Docket No. C-3224]


Supermarket Development Corporation, et. al.; Prohibited Trade 
Practices and Affirmative Corrective Actions

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Modifying order.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This order reopens a 1988 consent order that settled 
allegations that the acquisition of the El Paso Division of Safeway 
Stores, Inc., by Supermarket Development Corporation and Furr's, Inc. 
would reduce supermarket competition in 12 towns in New Mexico and 
western Texas, and required prior Commission approval, for ten years, 
before acquiring supermarket assets. This order modifies the consent 
order by substituting for the prior-approval requirement a provision 
requiring Furr's Supermarket to notify the Commission at least 30 days 
before acquiring certain supermarkets in those areas.

DATES: Consent order issued March 17, 1988. Modifying order issued 
September 5, 1995.\1\

Commission's Public Reference Branch, H-130, 6th Street and
