The Biden Federal Trade Commission has proposed revisions to the Hart-Scott-Rodino reporting form required of all parties proposing to merge and/or proposing to acquire the assets of another company, whenever certain threshold metrics are present. In response to this proposal a number of former FTC officials, of which I am one, submitted comments to the Commission with our views on the proposed revisions.  The former officials suggest several ways by which the FTC could strengthen the evidentiary and legal foundations in support of the proposed revisions.  A link to the submission is below, and I encourage the reader of this post to read it in its entirety.
