Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the Antitrust's FY 2008 budget proposed to streamline the decision unit structure from seven program activities to one to align the Antitrust's budget more closely with the mission and strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (FY 2003-2008). In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect the Antitrust's outputs and full costs by major program activity, including the costs of management and administration, so that a more accurate picture of total activity costs is reflected in the budget. In this way, budget and performance are more closely linked, and provide a better basis on which to make budget decisions. Over time, agencies will be expected to identify effective outcome measures, monitor their progress, and accurately present the associated costs.
 
Filing fees are paid by persons acquiring voting securities or assets who are required to file premerger notifications under 15 U.S.C. 18a, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The filing fees are divided evenly between, and credited to, the appropriations of the Antitrust Division and the Federal Trade Commission. The revenue generated from premerger filing fees as revised by Section 630 of P.L. 106-553, is available exclusively for antitrust enforcement.
