Response/Comments

I am a PNO attorney and am writing to address your question below. Please create a separate attachment for the information in Item 7(c)(4)(a) as you propose. Please note that this will not be a "documentary attachment" as the term is defined in the instructions to the form (Page I), so it must be incorporated within the form and must not be submitted as a separate document. In practice that means that you will have to insert the attachment within the pdf form after the page with Item 7 information.

Kind regards.

Hello [Redacted]

Going forward, please email substantive questions such as this one to HSRHelp@ftc.gov instead of individual PNO attorneys.

Kind regards.

Subject: Item 7(c)(iv)(a) - Question

Hi Robert,

I hope that you are well, today. I’ve got a question about how to complete Item 7(c)(iv)(a).

I believe that the form auto-populates the NAICs from Item 5(a) in Item 7(c)(iv)(a). It only adds one row for each code, and there seems to be a character limit in each row. However, I have over 200 locations to list by state, county, city, street address, and these will not all fit in one row.

How do I submit these? Should I create a new row for the locations that I can’t fit into a single row, or may I create an attachment and state “7(c)(iv)(a) See Attachment 7(c)(iv)(a) 448120”, for example?

Also, I had one other quick question. For addresses requiring states, when I try to select “GA” or put in “GA”, the form populates “FL”. Do you know what I may be doing wrong for these?

Any help will be most appreciated!
