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 (recently revised by Section 630 of P.L. 106-553) is available exclusively for antitrust enforcement.
                           
Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2005 budget proposes to streamline ATR's decision unit structure from 6 program activities to 1 to align the ATR'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 ATR'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 have identified effective outcome measures, monitored their progress, and accurately presented the associated costs.

The President's 2004 budget requested a 2.0 percent average pay raise for federal workers in 2004.  However, the FY 2004 Consolidated Appropriations Act includes language granting civilian federal employees a 4.1 percent average pay raise in 2004.  The FY 2005 budget request reflects the higher pay raise.  DOJ proposes to offset the additional $285,000 in annualization costs in the Antitrust Division account through management efficiencies within Other Services (Object Class 25.2).  The difference of ($38,000) represents total budgetary resources for ATR, which is offset by the estimated Hart-Scott-Rodino fee collections.
