## Abstract

The Federal Trade Commission is amending its procedures governing applications for approval of proposed divestitures, acquisitions, or similar transactions that are subject to Commission review under outstanding orders. The amendment repeals the unnecessary and burdensome requirement for disclosure on the public record of communications concerning an application from persons outside the Commission to Commissioners and their advisors.
