Section 7a of the Clayton Act 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade 

Commission announces the revised 

thresholds for the Hart-Scott-Rodino 

Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 

required by the 2000 amendment of 

Section 7A of the Clayton Act. 

DATES: Effective February 20, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert Jones, Federal Trade 

Commission, Bureau of Competition, 

Premerger Notification Office, 400 7th 

Street SW., Room #5301, Washington, 

DC 20024, Phone (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:
