of the

[[Page 66667]]

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.
