Editors Note
 The Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 requires that  parties to certain mergers and acquisitions file notification with  federal antitrust authorities and obtain clearance prior to  consummation. The statute imposes a 30-day waiting period during which  time the government reviews the competitive aspects of the transaction.  The statute is intended to identify transactions involving competitive  overlaps between the parties. Where such overlaps do not exist, the  government typically grants early termination of the 30-day waiting  period imposed by the statute.
