    FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
    
    
    Granting of Request for Early Termination of the Waiting Period 
    Under the Premerger Notification Rules
    
        Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18a, as added by Title II 
    of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, requires 
    persons contemplating certain mergers or acquisitions to give the 
    Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General advance 
    notice and to wait designated periods before consummation of such 
    plans. Section 7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies, in individual 
    cases, to terminate this waiting period prior to its expiration and 
    requires that notice of this action be published in the Federal 
    Register.
        The following transactions were granted early termination of the 
    waiting period provided by law and the premerger notification rules. 
    The grants were made by the Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant 
    Attorney General for the Antitrust Division of the Department of 
    Justice. Neither agency intends to take any action with respect to 
    these proposed acquisitions during the applicable waiting period.
