(202)326-3100. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18a, as added by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, Public Law 94-435, 90 Stat. 1390 (“the Act”), requires all persons contemplating certain mergers or acquisitions, which meet or exceed the jurisdictional thresholds in the Act, to file notification with the Commission and the Assistant Attorney General and to wait a designated period of time before consummating such transactions. Section 7A(a)(2) requires the Federal Trade Commission to revise those thresholds annually, based on the change in gross national product, in accordance with Section 8(a)(5). Note that while the filing fee thresholds are revised annually, the actual filing fees are not similarly indexed and, as a result, have not been adjusted for inflation in over a decade. The new thresholds, which take effect 30 days after publication in the **Federal Register** , are as follows: Subsection of 7A Original threshold [million] Adjusted threshold [million] 7A(a)(2)(A) $200 $283.6 7A(a)(2)(B)(i) 50 70.9 7A(a)(2)(B)(i) 200 283.6 7A(a)(2)(B)(ii)(i) 10 14.2 7A(a)(2)(B)(ii)(i) 100 141.8 7A(a)(2)(B)(ii)(II) 10 14.2 7A(a)(2)(B)(ii)(II) 100 141.8 7A(a)(2)(B)(ii)(III) 100 141.8 7A(a)(2)(B)(ii)(III) 10 14.2 Section 7A note: Assessment and Collection of Filing Fees 1 (3)(b)(1) 100 141.8 Section 7A note: Assessment and Collection of Filing Fees (3)(b)(2) 100 141.8 Section 7A note: Assessment and Collection of Filing Fees (3)(b)(2) 500 709.1 Section 7A note: Assessment and Collection of Filing Fees (3)(b)(3) 500 709.1 1 Public Law 106-553, Sec. 630(b) amended Sec. 18a note. Any reference to these thresholds and related thresholds and limitation values in the HSR rules (16 CFR parts 801-803) and the Antitrust Improvements Act Notification and Report Form and its Instructions will also be adjusted, where indicated by the term ``(as adjusted)'', as follows: Original threshold Adjusted threshold [million] $10 million $14.2 $50 million 70.9 $100 million 141.8 $110 million 156.0 $200 million 283.6 $500 million 709.1 $1 billion 1,418.1 By direction of the Commission.
