Granting of Request for Early Termination of the Waiting Period Under the Premerger Notification Rules

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

Granting of Request for Early Termination of the Waiting Period

Under the Premerger Notification 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 were made by the Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant

Attorney General for the Antitrust Division of the Department of

Justice. Neither agency intends to take any action with respect to

these proposed acquisitions during the applicable waiting period.
