Rules, Regulations, Statements and Interpretations Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976

Resumo

The Commission has extended until August 26, 1994, the time period within which comments will be received on the proposed amendments to the Premerger Notification and Report Form that parties are required to file with the Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice before consummating certain mergers and acquisitions. The proposed amendments are designed to improve the premerger notification program by requiring persons to submit certain new and more up-to-date information and also to reduce the burden of compliance by raising thresholds of several items consistent with the agencies' information needs. The original request for comments was announced in the Federal Register of June 14, 1994 (59 FR 30545).
