Commission, by this request for comments, seeks to provide a full 
opportunity for interested members of the public to provide input to 
the Commission regarding its agenda for study.
    Comments should be submitted in written form. Commenters are asked 
to provide a brief summary (not to exceed 300 words) of each issue 
recommended for study, which should include a description of the issue 
and why the issue merits Commission study. Commenters may submit 
additional background materials relating to the proposed issue by 
separate attachment to the summary, but such materials are not 
necessary.
    Submissions should be captioned ``Comments regarding Commission 
issues for study'' and should identify the person or organization 
submitting the comments. If comments are submitted by an organization, 
the submission should identify a contact person within the 
organization. Comments should also include the following contact 
information for the submitter: an address, telephone number, and e-mail 
address (if available). Comments submitted to the Commission will be 
made available to the public in accordance with Federal laws.
    Comments may be submitted either in hard copy or electronic form. 
Comments submitted in hard copy should enclose three copies of each 
submission as well as a 3\1/2\ inch computer diskette or CD-ROM 
containing an electronic copy of the comment. Comments submitted in 
hard copy should be delivered to the address specified above. 
Electronic submissions may be sent by electronic mail to 
[email protected]. The Commission prefers to receive electronic 
documents (whether on diskette or by e-mail) in portable document 
format (.pdf), but also will accept comments in Microsoft Word or 
WordPerfect formats.
    The AMC has issued this request for comments pursuant to its 
authorizing statute and the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Antitrust 
Modernization Commission Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-273, Sec.  11053, 116
