Other Information:

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS During FY 2010 the agency saved consumers approximately 24 times the amount of resources it devoted to the nonmerger enforcement program, as calculated using the average consumer savings obtained under Performance Measure 2.1.5 ($508 million) divided into the amount of resources used on the nonmerger program. This result is largely attributable to consumer savings that exceeded target due to one particular case that involved Intel Corporation.

Description n/a n/a 164.0% 1,035.0% 400.0% Target exceeded. During FY 2010 the agency saved consumers approximately 24 times the amount of resources it devoted to the nonmerger enforcement program. This is largely attributable to consumer savings that exceeded target due to one particular case involving Intel Corporation. The FTC will continue to monitor and reassess the target moving forward. Data Source: The ratio of consumer savings in nonmerger enforcement actions to the amount of resources allocated to the merger program is calculated using data on consumer savings obtained under Performance Measure 2.1.5, divided into the amount of monetary resources expended on the nonmerger program as reported by the FTC’s Financial Management Office
