We present semiempirical Gaunt factors for the widely used Van Regemorter formula [Astrophys. J. {bold 136}, 906 (1962)] for allowed transitions from {lt}{ital ital}{gt}{ital l}=0 or {lt}{ital ital}{gt}{ital l}=1 levels in atoms with the {ital LS} coupling. Cross sections calculated using these Gaunt factors agree with measured cross sections to within experimental error. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
