If you determine that a transaction is reportable, the filing fee should be based on the filing fee threshold that is in effect at the
time of filing.

Hi guys, I am sure you all are getting this question from a number of folks but as I’m still uncertain of the answer, I need
to ask.
The press release notes that the new structure applies to transactions that close on or after 30 days after Fed Reg
publication (2/27). However, up until that point, are the old rules still in place? So that if we file 2/25 and the closing will
for sure occur after 2/27, we still are forced to rely upon the existing fee structure?
Thanks,
