FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Dkt. 6459]


Giant Food, Inc.; Prohibited Trade Practices and Affirmative 
Corrective Actions

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Set aside order.

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

SUMMARY: This order reopens a 1964 consent order--which prohibited 
Giant from inducing its suppliers to offer, or receiving from its 
suppliers, compensation for promotional services or facilities on terms 
that Giant knew were not proportionally equal to the terms those 
suppliers offered other retailers--and sets aside the consent order 
pursuant to the Commission's 1994 Sunset Policy Statement, under which 
the Commission presumed that the public interest requires terminating 
competition orders that are more than 20 years old.

DATES: Modified consent order issued April 13, 1964. Set aside order 
issued September 7, 1995.\1\

    \1\ Copies of the Modified Consent Order and Set Aside Order are
