FTC Announces Annual Update to HSR Thresholds
Client Alert | 1 min read | 01.24.24
The Federal Trade Commission announced its annual updates to the thresholds and filing fees related to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the HSR Act) on Monday. These dollar thresholds are indexed annually based on changes in the U.S. gross national product and the Consumer Price Index.
The HSR Act requires that certain transactions be notified prior to their consummation. This year, the “size-of-transaction" threshold for reporting mergers and acquisitions under the HSR Act will increase from $111.4 million to $119.5 million. In addition, the "size-of-person" threshold, the filing fee thresholds, and the fee schedule will all also increase. The new filing fee thresholds and fee schedule are as follows:
2024 Filing Fee |
2024 Size of Transaction |
|
$30,000 |
Less than $173.3 million |
|
$105,000 |
Not less than $173.3 million but less than $536.5 million |
|
$260,000 |
Not less than $536.5 million but less than $1.073 billion |
|
$415,000 |
Not less than $1.073 billion but less than $2.146 billion |
|
$830,000 |
Not less than $2.146 billion but less than $5.365 billion |
|
$2,335,000 |
$5.365 billion or more |
All of these revised thresholds will become effective thirty days after their publication in the Federal Register, which is expected in the next few days. Click here to read a full copy of the Commission's announcement, including a complete listing of the revised thresholds.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) published a final rule amending 14 CFR Part 234 that fundamentally changes how airlines report the causes of flight delays and cancellations. Effective October 19, 2026, the rule implements Section 511(b) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 by creating a new reporting category, the “Section 511(b) category,” for ten specific events that Congress determined are not attributable to airline control. The rule simultaneously narrows the existing "Air Carrier" reporting category by expressly excluding those same ten events.
