Question

(redacted)

April 18, 1986

Mr. Wayne Kaplan
Premerger Notification Office
Federal Trade Commission
Washington, D.C. 20580

Dear Wayne:

Confirming our telephone conversation today, I understand that the Premerger Notification Office continues to express the long-standing informal position that the determinants of control as defined in Rule 801.1(b) of the Premerger Notification Rules does not apply to partnerships. I further understand that this position is currently under review by the Commission.

While I realize that this informal opinion does not carry the force of law, I will continue to advise my clients based on the assumption that this position is continuing. Accordingly, I would appreciate it if you would notify me immediately if there is any impending change in this position.

If you have any questions, please call,

About Informal Interpretations

Informal interpretations provide guidance from previous staff interpretations on the applicability of the HSR rules to specific fact situations.
