Response/Comments
No -that changed with the 2011 Form change rulemaking. An LLC engaged in commerce is treated the same as a corporation engaged in commerce, so any acquisition made through the LLC is reportable, with the LLC as the acquiring UPE. If the acquisition was being made directly by the tribe, it would not be reportable. See 801.1 (a)(2) http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-07-19/pdf/2011-17822.pdf

Subject: Interpretation 0403009

Mike,hope all is well with you. I just wanted to confirm that interpretation 0403009continues to express the views of the PNO, such that my client, a federallyrecognized Indian tribe, may, through a wholly owned limited liability company,acquire an energy-related company without the requirement to make an HSRfiling.

About Informal Interpretations

Informal interpretations provide guidance from previous staff interpretations on the applicability of the HSR rules to specific fact situations. You should not rely on them as a substitute for reading the Act and the Rules themselves. These materials do not, and are not intended to, constitute legal advice.
