(HSR) Act, FTC Act and Clayton Act.

DATES: Comments must be received by March 29, 2002.

ADDRESSES: An original and twelve (12) copies of any comments filed in 
paper form should be directed to: FTC/Office of the Secretary, Room

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a notice published at 66 FR 67254 (Dec. 
28, 2001), the Commission solicited public comment on the factors the 
Commission should consider in applying disgorgement in competition 
cases and how this remedy should be calculated. In consideration of a 
request from a potential commentor, the Commission has determined that 
it would be in the public interest to extend the original deadline of 
March 1, 2002, so that all interested parties have the fullest 
opportunity to prepare and submit their comments on the questions set 
forth in the previously published notice. Accordingly, the Commission 
invites public comment until March 29, 2002, which may be submitted as 
specified above in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
    Public comments are invited, and may be filed with the Commission 
in either paper or electronic form. Comments filed in paper form should 
be directed to: FTC/Office of the Secretary, Room 159-H, 600 
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580. If a comment contains 
nonpublic information, it must be filed in paper form, and the first 
page of the document must be clearly labeled ``confidential.'' Comments 
that do not contain any nonpublic information may instead be filed in 
electronic form (in ASCII format, WordPerfect, or Microsoft Word) as 
part of or as an attachment to e-mail messages directed to the 
following e-mail box: [email protected]. Such comments will 
be considered by the Commission and will be available for inspection 
and copying at its principal office in accordance with Section 
4.9(b)(6)(ii) of the Commission's Rules of Practice, 16 CFR 
4.9(b)(6)(ii).

    By Direction of the Commission.
Donald S. Clark,
Secretary.
