Important notes about the data

  • The fiscal year 2013 data is updated through January 31, 2013.
  • Information on the individual transactions listed under the category of "Abandoned/ Fix-it-first / Restructured" transactions is nonpublic.
  • An asterisk (* ) in the "Part 3 Administrative Complaints" column means that in addition to authorizing staff to file an injunction in federal court, the Commission also filed a Part 3 complaint.
  • †This is a correction to the results previously reported.  In FY2011, an additional abandoned, restructured or fix-it-first enforcement was identified after Fiscal Year closure.
