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

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Extension of Comment Period.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission has extended until August 26, 1994, the time

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).

DATES: Written comments will be accepted on the proposed changes to the 
Premerger Notification and Report Form on or before August 26, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be submitted to both (1) the 
Secretary, Federal Trade Commission, room 136, Washington, DC 20580, 
and (2) the Assistant Attorney General, Antitrust Division, Department 
of Justice, room 3214, Washington, DC 20530.
