Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General Advance

plans. Section 7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies, in individual 
cases, to terminate this waiting period prior to its expirationa nd 
requires that notice of this action be published in the Federal 
Register.
    The following transactions were granted early terminated of the 
witing 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.
