material pursuant to section 7A(e) and Sec. 803.20 will be requested, 
or, if such additional information or documentary material has been 
requested, it (or, if a request is not fully complied with, the

    (3) The Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General 
have concluded that neither intends to take any further action within 
the waiting period.
    (b) Any request for additional information or documentary material 
pursuant to section 7A(e) and Sec. 803.20 shall constitute a denial of 
all pending requests for termination of the waiting period.
    (c) The Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General 
may in their discretion terminate a waiting period upon the written 
request of any person filing notification or, notwithstanding paragraph 
(a) of this section, sua sponte. A request for termination of the 
waiting period shall be sent to the offices designated in Sec. 
803.10(c). Termination shall be effective upon notice to any requesting 
person by telephone, and such notice shall be given as soon as possible. 
Such notice shall also be confirmed in writing to each person which has 
filed notification, and notice thereof shall be published in the Federal 
Register in accordance with section 7A(b)(2). The Federal Trade 
Commission and the Assistant Attorney General also may use other means 
to make the termination public, prior to publication in the Federal 
Register in a manner that will make the information equally accessible 
to all members of the public.
