AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice of Extension of Comment Period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission has extended until August 26, 1994, the time

amendments to the Premerger Notification and Report Form that parties
are required to file with the Federal Trade Commission and the

agencies' information needs. The original request for comments was
announced in the Federal Register of June 14, 1994 (59 FR 30545).
DATES: Written comments will be accepted on the proposed changes to the
Premerger Notification and Report Form on or before August 26, 1994.
