FTC HSR early termination notices (daily)
Daily log of Hart-Scott-Rodino premerger filing early terminations granted by the Federal Trade Commission, from the Commission's official RSS feed (keyless): one row per notice with HSR transaction number, acquiring person, acquired person, acquired entities, granting status, and the notice's official date parsed from the feed item's structured description fields. Method: the feed is polled, notices are deduplicated by transaction number, and the frame is deterministic per feed state, so an unchanged feed mints no new snapshot. Units: one notice per row; notice_date is an ISO date; country_code is the USA join key. A public M&A trigger-event feed for sales teams (deal-flow intelligence). No raw-description column: descriptions carry a staff email address that would trip the hub PII gate; only the parsed structured fields are kept. Caveats: the feed publishes in daily batches (a rolling window, not a complete archive). License: U.S. federal public domain (17 U.S.C. 105). commercial_use=yes; attribution Federal Trade Commission.
