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 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

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

these proposed acquisitions during the applicable waiting period.
