Revised Jurisdictional Thresholds for
Section 8 of the Clayton Act
Federal Trade Commission.
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Federal Trade
Commission announces the revised
thresholds for interlocking directorates
required by the 1990 amendment of
Section 8 of the Clayton Act. Section 8
prohibits, with certain exceptions, one
person from serving as a director or
officer of two competing corporations if
two thresholds are met. Competitor
corporations are covered by Section 8 if
each one has capital, surplus, and
undivided profits aggregating more than
$10,000,000, with the exception that no
corporation is covered if the competitive
sales of either corporation are less than
$1,000,000. Section 8(a)(5) requires the
Federal Trade Commission to revise
those thresholds annually, based on the
change in gross national product. The
new thresholds, which take effect
immediately, are $26,161,000 for
Section 8(a)(1), and $2,616,100 for
Section 8(a)(2)(A).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
James F. Mongoven, Bureau of
Competition, Office of Policy and
Coordination, (202) 326-2879.
Section 301–10.122 of the Federal
Travel Regulation (FTR) (41 CFR 301–
10.122) stipulates that Federal
employees, with few exceptions, must
use coach-class accommodations. As a
result of many airlines now charging
additional fees for checked baggage, as
well as for seat choice in the coach-class
cabin, this bulletin was developed to
clarify which of these fees may be
reimbursed by Federal agencies.
