The Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice have announced the implementation of an electronic filing system that allows parties to a transaction to submit via the Internet premerger notification filings required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino ("HSR") Act.

Under the new system, filing parties will have three options:

More detailed information on the electronic filing system is available at https://www.hsr.gov/.  Please let us know if you have any questions, or if we can be of further assistance.
