Terms of Clearance:
OMB reviewed Commission staff responses to public comment on the information collection requirements in the revisions to the premerger notification rule and form published on February 1, 2001. OMB has no objection to the proposed requirements and the changes recommended in response to public comment, subject to Commission approval. If there are material or substantial modifications, OMB anticipates these would be submitted for review and approval. OMB has discussed with Commission staff the conversion to NAICS which will require further changes to the rules and form and which is the subject of separate rulemaking.

Abstract:
The FTC seeks OMB clearance for revisions to information collection requirements under the HSR premerger rules (prompted by new HSR Act amendments), which affect prior burden estimates that OMB approved in 1999. The rule amendments are being announced in interim and proposed rules that amend (or propose to amend) the premerger notification regulations, 16 C.F.R. Sec. 801-803 and the associated Premerger Notification and Report Form. Staff anticipates the net effect of these changes will be a significant reduction in the number of premerger filings.
