    (2) The Filing Fee Thresholds

    Section 605 of Public Law 101-162 (15 U.S.C. 18a note) requires the Federal Trade Commission to assess and collect filing fees from persons acquiring voting securities or assets under the Act. The original filing fee thresholds are set forth in section 605. Division GG of the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act, Public Law 117-328, 136 Stat. 4459, requires the Federal Trade Commission to revise these filing fee thresholds and amounts based on the percentage change in the GNP for such fiscal year compared to the GNP for the year ending September 30, 2022 (for the filing fee thresholds) and the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index, as determined by the Department of Labor or its successor, for the year then ended over the level so established for the year ending September 30, 2022 (for the fee amounts).

    Any reference to the fee thresholds and related values in the HSR rules (16 CFR parts 801 through 803) and the HSR Form and its Instructions will also be adjusted, where indicated by the term “(as adjusted)”, as follows:

    Original filing fee Original applicable size of transaction * 2025 Adjusted filing fee 2025 Adjusted applicable size of transaction *
    $30,000 less than $161.5 million. $30,000 less than $179.4 million.
    100,000 not less than $161.5 million but less than $500 million. 105,000 not less than $179.4 million but less than $555.5 million.
    250,000 not less than $500 million but less than $1 billion. 265,000 not less than $555.5 million but less than $1.111 billion.
    400,000 not less than $1 billion but less than $2 billion. 425,000 not less than $1.111 billion but less than $2.222 billion.
    800,000 not less than $2 billion but less than $5 billion. 850,000 not less than $2.222 billion but less than $5.555 billion.
    2,250,000 $5 billion or more. 2,390,000 $5.555 billion or more.
    * As determined under Section 7A(a)(2) of the Act.
