The FTC is required to adjust the thresholds annually, based on changes in the gross national product. The new HSR thresholds will become effective February 28, 2018 (30 days after publication in the Federal Register). The revisions to the corporate interlock thresholds are effective as of January 29, 2018 (upon publication in the Federal Register). REVISED HSR THRESHOLDS Under the revised thresholds, unless covered by an exemption, HSR filings and waiting periods are required for transactions valued in excess of the $84.4 million size of transaction threshold
