ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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''). The FTC 
is seeking public comments on its proposal to extend for an additional 
three years the current PRA clearance for reporting requirements in its 
Antitrust Improvements Act Rules (``HSR Rules'') and corresponding 
Notification and Report Form for Certain Mergers and Acquisitions 
(``Notification and Report Form''). That clearance expires on December 
31, 2016.

DATES: Comments must be filed by December 14, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file a comment online or on paper, by 
following the instructions in the Request for Comment part of the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. Write ``HSR PRA Clearance 
Extension, P169300'' on your comment and file your comment online at 
https://ftcpublic.commentworks.com/ftc/hsrrulespra2, by following the

on paper, mail your comment to the following address: Federal Trade 
Commission, Office of the Secretary, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Suite

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 12, 2016, the Commission sought 
comment on the reporting requirements associated with the HSR Rules and 
corresponding Notification and Report Form. 81 FR 53484. No relevant 
comments were received. Pursuant to the OMB regulations, 5 CFR part 
1320, that implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., the FTC is 
providing this second opportunity for public comment while seeking OMB 
approval to renew the pre-existing clearance for those information 
collection requirements. For more details about the requirements of the 
HSR Rules, the background behind these information collection 
provisions, and the basis for the calculations summarized below, see 81 
FR 53484.

Burden Statement

    The following burden estimates are primarily based on FTC data 
concerning the number of HSR filings and staff's informal consultations 
with HSR counsel; the explanations behind them appear in the August 12, 
2016 Federal Register Notice alluded to above. Minor revisions below to 
some of the prior calculations reflect the assumption that a 
transaction withdrawn and later refiled will entail two filings per 
transaction.
    Estimated total annual hours: 168,486 hours.

[(4,553 non-index filings x 37 hours/each) + (10 index filings x 2 
hours/each) + (1 withdrawn transaction later restarted x 5 hours))]

    Estimated total annual labor cost: $77,503,560.
    Estimated total annual non-labor cost: $0.
    Request for Comment: You can file a comment online or on paper. For 
the Commission to consider your comment, we must receive it on or 
before December 14, 2016. Write ``HSR PRA Clearance Extension, 
P169300'' on your comment. Your comment--including your name and your

discretion, the Commission tries to remove individuals' home contact 
information from comments before placing them on the Commission Web 
site.

4.10(a)(2). In particular, do not include competitively sensitive

    If you want the Commission to give your comment confidential 
treatment, you must file it in paper form, with a request for 
confidential treatment, and you have to follow the procedure explained 
in FTC Rule 4.9(c).\1\ Your comment will be kept confidential only if 
the FTC General Counsel grants your request in accordance with the law 
and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In particular, the written request for confidential 
treatment that accompanies the comment must include the factual and 
legal basis for the request, and must identify the specific portions

    The FTC Act and other laws that the Commission administers permit

proceeding as appropriate. The Commission will consider all timely and
