Horizontal Merger Guidelines Review Project

In connection with the workshops, interested parties are invited to submit written comments or original research. A list of specific questions to inform the first workshop discussions is set forth below;  the agencies may post additional questions relevant to subsequent workshops discussions at a later date.

Initial comments should be submitted by November 9, 2009, to ensure ample time for consideration prior to the first workshop. Comments should refer to “HMG Review Project – Comment, Project No. P092900.” To file electronically, follow the instructions and fill out the form at https://public.commentworks.com/ftc/hmgworkshop1. Paper comments should include the above reference both in the text and on the envelope, and should be mailed or delivered to:

Federal Trade Commission
Office of the Secretary, Room H-135 (Annex P)
600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20580

Comments containing confidential material, however, must be filed in paper form, must be clearly labeled “Confidential,” and must comply with Commission Rule 4.9(c). The FTC requests that any paper comments be sent by courier or overnight service, if possible, because postal mail in the Washington area and at the Commission is subject to delay due to heightened security precautions.
