responsibilities under various consumer 

financial services laws and on other 

matters on which the Board seeks its 

advice. Time permitting, the Council 

will discuss the following topics: 

• Proposed rules for residential 

mortgage transactions 

Members will discuss the Board’s 

proposal to establish new regulatory 

protections for consumers in the 

residential mortgage market through 

amendments to Regulation Z, which 

implements the Truth in Lending Act 

and the Home Ownership and Equity 

Protection Act. The proposal addresses 

unfair, abusive, or deceptive lending 

and servicing practices and mortgage 

advertising practices, and would also 

require creditors to provide consumers 

with transaction–specific cost 

disclosures earlier. 

• Foreclosure issues 

Members will discuss issues related to 

home foreclosures, such as loss–

mitigation strategies and counseling 

initiatives. 

Reports by committees and other 

matters initiated by Council members 

also may be discussed. 

Persons wishing to submit views to 

the Council on any of the above topics 

may do so by sending written 

statements to Jennifer Kerslake, 

Secretary of the Consumer Advisory 

Council, Division of Consumer and 

Community Affairs, Board of Governors 

of the Federal Reserve System, 

Washington, D.C. 20551. Information 

about this meeting may be obtained 

from Ms. Kerslake, 202–452–6470.

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

Granting of Request for Early 

Termination of the Waiting Period 

Under the Premerger Notification 

Rules 

Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 

U.S.C. 18a, as added by Title II of the 

Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust 

Improvements Act of 1976, requires 

persons contemplating certain mergers 

or acquisitions to give the Federal Trade 

Commission and the Assistant Attorney 

General advance notice and to wait 

designated periods before 

consummation of such plans. Section 

7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies, 

in individual cases, to terminate this 

waiting period prior to its expiration 

and requires that notice of this action be 

published in the Federal Register. 

The following transactions were 

granted early termination of the waiting 

period provided by law and the 

premerger notification rules. The grants 

were made by the Federal Trade 

Commission and the Assistant Attorney 

General for the Antitrust Division of the 

Department of Justice. Neither agency 

intends to take any action with respect 

to these proposed acquisitions during 

the applicable waiting period.
