Premerger Notification; Reporting and Waiting Period Requirements]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2005-12-12-05-23884</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Federal Trade Commission is amending the premerger 
notification rules, which require the parties to certain mergers or 
acquisitions to file reports with the Commission and with the Assistant 
Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division of the Department 
of Justice (``DOJ'') and to wait a specified period of time before 
consummating such transactions, pursuant to Section 7A of the Clayton 
Act (``the Act''). The filing and waiting period requirements enable 
these enforcement agencies to determine whether a proposed merger or 
acquisition may violate the antitrust laws if consummated and, when 
appropriate, to seek a preliminary injunction in Federal court to 
prevent consummation. If either agency determines during the waiting 
period that further inquiry is necessary, it can issue a Request for 
Additional Information and Documentary Materials (``second request''), 
which extends the waiting period for a specified period after all 
parties have complied with the request (or, in the case of <script type="text/javascript">

  <title><![CDATA[
Rules and Regulations Under the Textile Fiber Products  Identification Act]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2005-12-12-05-23883</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Federal Trade Commission (FTC or Commission) amends the 
Rules and Regulations under the Textile Fiber Products Identification 
Act (Textile Rules) pursuant to the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical 
Corrections Act of 2004, enacted December 3, 2004. That Act imposes 
specific requirements for the disclosure of country of origin of socks 
included within certain Harmonized Tariff Schedule subheadings. For the 
affected socks, the country of origin label must be on the front of the 
package, adjacent to the size designation. The amendments announced 
herein conform the Textile Rules to the amended Textile Fiber Products 
Identification Act (Textile Act). Because the amendments are technical 
in nature and merely incorporate the statutory change, the Commission 
finds that notice and comment are not required. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b). 
For this reason, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 
also do not apply. See 5 U.S.C. 603, 604.

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2005-12-12-E5-7179</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The information collection requirements described below will 
be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for 
review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 
35013520). The FTC is seeking public comments on its proposal to 
extend through November 30, 2008, the current PRA clearance for 
information collection requirements contained in its regulations under 
the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, 15 U.S.C. 14511461 (``FPLA''). On 
October 14, 2005, the OMB granted the FTC's request for a shortterm 
extension of this clearance to December 30, 2005.
