The Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice share antitrust enforcement responsibility for mergers and acquisitions. Transactions triggering a premerger notification filing are required to be notified to both agencies. However, the two agencies have developed a clearance process between themselves to allocate responsibility for reviewing each proposed transaction. Only one agency will issue a request for additional information or documentary materials. To facilitate transparency and compliance with the federal antitrust premerger filing requirements, links to important merger information are provided below.
