The filing and waiting period requirements enable these enforcement agencies to determine whether a proposed merger or acquisition may violate the antitrust laws if consummated and, when appropriate, to seek a preliminary injunction in federal court to prevent consummation. The rule amendments are necessary to implement recent amendments to the Clayton Act, and will increase the clarity and improve the effectiveness of the rules and the Notification and Report Form.
