On January 10, 2025, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced revised filing fees and jurisdictional thresholds for premerger notification filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. The revisions increase the lowest "size-of-transaction" threshold for reporting proposed mergers and acquisitions from the current US$119.5 million to US$126.4 million.

The agencies are expected to continue their recently stepped-up enforcement efforts on this issue.
