SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 2, 2012, as part of the Commission’s systematic review of its rules and guides, the FTC published a notice in the Federal Register (‘‘FRN’’) requesting public comments on the Guides for the Jewelry, Precious Metals, and Pewter Industries (‘‘Jewelry Guides’’ or ‘‘Guides).1 The FRN solicits comments on the Guides’ costs and benefits, and on whether the Commission should repeal, amend, or retain the Guides in their current form. The FRN also solicits comments on several specific issues concerning composite gemstones, pearls, diamonds, and precious metal alloys, as well as comments regarding SUMMARY: 1 77 E:\FR\FM\20AUP1.SGM FR 39201 (July 2, 2012). 20AUP1 emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 161 / Monday, August 20, 2012 / Proposed Rules any other issues or concerns relating to the Guides. The FRN sets August 27, 2012 as the deadline for filing comments. A trade association representing jewelry industry members, Jewelers Vigilance Committee (‘‘JVC’’), requests a 32-day extension of the comment deadline. JVC explains that the market research companies retained to obtain consumer perception data need additional time to complete their tasks. JVC further notes the FRN contains 24 separate questions, many with subparts, covering a wide array of topics and raising complicated issues that call for technical submissions by metallurgical and gemological experts, in addition to targeted market research data. JVC states the current deadline does not provide sufficient time to develop comments and supporting evidence that would fully address the issues. The Commission has decided to extend the comment period to September 28, 2012. Given the complexity and range of issues raised in the FRN, including the request for consumer perception evidence, the Commission believes that allowing additional time for filing comments may help facilitate the creation of a more complete record. Moreover, this brief extension would not harm consumers, as the current Guides remain in effect during the review process. You can file a comment online or on paper. For the Commission to consider your comment, we must receive it on or before September 28, 2012. Write ‘‘Jewelry Guides, 16 CFR Part 23, Project No. G711001’’ on your comment.

Notice of proposed rulemaking. AGENCY: ACTION: The Commission is proposing amendments to the premerger notification rules (‘‘the Rules’’) to provide a framework for determining when a transaction involving the transfer of rights to a patent in the pharmaceutical, including biologics, and medicine manufacturing industry (North American Industry Classification System Industry Group 3254) (‘‘pharmaceutical industry’’) is reportable under the Hart Scott Rodino Act (‘‘the Act’’ or ‘‘HSR’’). The Act and Rules require the parties to certain mergers and acquisitions to file reports with the Federal Trade Commission (‘‘the Commission’’) and the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (‘‘the Assistant Attorney General’’) (collectively, ‘‘the Agencies’’) and to wait a specified period of time before consummating such transactions. The reporting and waiting period requirements are intended to enable these enforcement agencies to determine whether a proposed merger or acquisition may violate the antitrust laws if consummated and, when appropriate, to seek a preliminary injunction in federal court to prevent consummation. This proposed rulemaking uses the concept of ‘‘all commercially significant rights’’ as the basis to determine whether there is a transfer of exclusive rights to a patent in the pharmaceutical industry resulting in an asset acquisition that may be reportable under the Act. DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 25, 2012. ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file a comment online or on paper, by following the instructions in the Request for Comment part of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. Write ‘‘HSR IP Rulemaking, Project No. P989316’’ on your comment, and file your comment online at https://ftcpublic.commentworks.com/ ftc/hsripnprm, by following the instructions on the web-based form.

raising complicated issues that call for technical submissions by 
metallurgical and gemological experts, in addition to targeted market
