BILLING CODE 6210-01-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. Section 8 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 $37,382,000 for Section 8(a)(1), and $3,738,200 for Section 8(a)(2)(A).
DATES: January 21, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chris Grengs (202-326-2612), Bureau of Competition, Office of Policy and Coordination. Authority: 15 U.S.C. 19(a)(5) April J. Tabor, Acting Secretary. [FR Doc. 2021-01172 Filed 1-19-21; 8:45 am]
