BILLING CODE 6750-01-P FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION Revised Jurisdictional Thresholds for Section 8 of the Clayton Act AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission announces the revised thresholds for interlocking directorates required by the 1990 amendment of Section 8 of the Clayton Act. DATES: *Effective Date:* January 27, 2012. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James F. Mongoven, Federal Trade Commission, Bureau of Competition, Office of Policy and Coordination,
(202)326-2879, Room NJ 7115, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20580. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 8 of the Clayton Act, as amended in 1990, prohibits, with certain exceptions, one person from serving as a director or officer of two competing corporations if two thresholds are met. Competitor corporations are covered by Section 8 if each one has capital, surplus, and undivided profits aggregating more than $10,000,000, with the exception that no corporation is covered if the competitive sales of either corporation are less than $1,000,000. Section 8(a)(5) requires the Federal Trade Commission to revise those thresholds annually, based on the change in gross national product. The new thresholds, which take effect immediately, are $27,784,000 for Section 8(a)(1), and $2,778,400 for Section 8(a)(2)(A). Authority: 15 U.S.C. 19(a)(5). By direction of the Commission. Donald S. Clark, Secretary. [FR Doc. 2012-1866 Filed 1-26-12; 8:45 a.m.]
