FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
Granting of Requests for Early
Termination of the Waiting Period
Under the Premerger Notification
Rules
Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15
U.S.C. 18a, as added by Title II of the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, requires
persons contemplating certain mergers
or acquisitions to give the Federal Trade
Commission and the Assistant Attorney
General advance notice and to wait
designated periods before
consummation of such plans. Section
7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies,
in individual cases, to terminate this
waiting period prior to its expiration
and requires that notice of this action be
published in the Federal Register.
The following transactions were
granted early termination—on the dates
indicated—of the waiting period
provided by law and the premerger
notification rules. The listing for each
transaction includes the transaction
number and the parties to the
transaction. The grants were made by
the Federal Trade Commission and the
Assistant Attorney General for the
Antitrust Division of the Department of
Justice.
Neither agency intends to take any
action with respect to these proposed
acquisitions during the applicable
waiting period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under section 361 of the Public
Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C.
264), the Secretary of Health and
Human Services, has the authority to
make and enforce regulations necessary
to prevent the introduction,
transmission, or spread of
communicable diseases from foreign
countries into the United States and
between U.S. states and territories. For
purposes of carrying out and enforcing
such regulations, the Secretary may
authorize a variety of public health
measures, including inspection,
fumigation, disinfection, sanitation, pest
extermination, destruction of animals or
articles found to be sources of
dangerous infection to human beings,
and other measures. Since 1956, federal
quarantine regulations have controlled
the entry of dogs into the United States.
See 21 FR 9870 (Dec. 12, 1956).
Currently, HHS/CDC regulates the
import of dogs into the United States
under regulations found at 42 CFR
71.51. Among the principal concerns for
regulating the import of dogs is to
prevent the introduction and spread of
rabies. Authority for carrying out 42
CFR 71.51 has been delegated to HHS/
CDC’s Division of Global Migration and
Quarantine (DGMQ), which staffs and
maintains quarantine stations at major
U.S. ports of entry.
DGMQ oversees the import of dogs
into the United States to ensure that
dogs show no signs of communicable
disease upon arrival and are vaccinated
against rabies. Under 42 CFR 71.51, the
owner or owner’s agent must present a
valid rabies vaccination certificate for a
dog upon arrival at a U.S. port of entry.
The only exceptions to this requirement
are if the owner or agent submits
satisfactory evidence that the dog, for
the previous 6 months before arrival,
has only been in a country that does not
present a risk for canine rabies or the
dog is to be taken to a research facility
and vaccination would interfere with
the purposes of the research.
Under 42 CFR 71.51(c)(2), however,
the CDC Director may authorize
admission of an inadequately
immunized dog if the owner or owner’s
agent agrees to confine the dog under
conditions that restrict its contact with
humans and other animals until it is
fully immunized against rabies. Under
these circumstances, if the date of
vaccination shown on the vaccination
certificate is less than 30 days before the
date of arrival and the dog was 3 months
of age or older when vaccinated, the dog
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
27831
may be admitted into the United States,
but must be confined until at least 30
days have elapsed since the date of
vaccination. If the dog is unvaccinated
upon arrival and is at least 3 months of
age or older, it may be admitted, but
must be confined until it is vaccinated
against rabies and 30 days have elapsed
since vaccination. If the dog is either
unvaccinated or partially immunized
upon arrival and is less than 3 months
of age, it may be admitted, but must be
confined until vaccinated against rabies
at 3 months of age and for at least 30
days after the date of vaccination.
In 2014, HHS/CDC published
guidance in the Federal Register
clarifying that it allows an owner or
agent to import an inadequately
immunized dog into the United States
only for purposes of personal pet
ownership. See 79 FR 39403 (July 20,
2014). This document also described the
criteria that HHS/CDC uses in
determining whether to issue a dog
confinement agreement that allows the
entry into the United States and
confinement of a dog until it is
adequately immunized against rabies.
The document further described the
steps that an importer may take if an
imported dog is denied entry into the
United States, including the availability
of a written appeal.
Through today’s document, HHS/CDC
is informing the public that it is
changing its application process from a
paper-based dog confinement agreement
system to a web-based application and
electronic permit system (Permit to
Import a Dog Inadequately Immunized
against Rabies). Effective August 18,
2017, an owner or owner’s agent must
apply for a Permit to Import a Dog
Inadequately Immunized against Rabies
at least 10 business days before arriving
into the United States with an
inadequately immunized dog through
this web-based system. Permit
applications to import an inadequately
immunized dog will not be available at
the port of entry and no permits will be
issued at the port of entry. Inadequately
immunized dogs arriving at a port of
entry without an approved permit will
be denied entry into the United States
and re-exported to the country of origin
at the owner’s expense.
II. Provisions of This Notice
Effective, August 18, 2017, at least 10
business days before arriving into the
United States with an inadequately
immunized dog, an importer must apply
online at https://www.cdc.gov/
importation/ for a Permit to Import a
Dog Inadequately Immunized against
Rabies.

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
Granting of Requests for Early Termination of the Waiting Period
Under the Premerger Notification Rules
Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18a, as added by Title II
of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, requires
persons contemplating certain mergers or acquisitions to give the
Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General advance
notice and to wait designated periods before consummation of such
plans. Section 7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies, in individual
cases, to terminate this waiting period prior to its expiration and
requires that notice of this action be published in the Federal
Register.
The following transactions were granted early termination--on the
dates indicated--of the waiting period provided by law and the
premerger notification rules. The listing for each transaction includes
the transaction number and the parties to the transaction. The grants
were made by the Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney
General for the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice.
Neither agency intends to take any action with respect to these
proposed acquisitions during the applicable waiting period.
Early Terminations Granted
[May 1, 2017 through May 31, 2017]
