Comments:
To Whom it May Concern, I am writing this letter because I am concerned that if BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY RULE R511993 is adopted in its present form, my livelihood and lifes work will be greatly affected in an undermining and negative way. I am a small business owner. I do most the therapies plus running of the business.....I would not have the time to do all the added research and administrative, record keeping which is as I see it absolutely unneccessary. I would not know how to find the information concerning other distributors nor am I in a position financially to hire the help to do this. The proposed waiting period is way out of proportion. People buy things on contract all the time and only some time there is a 3-day cancelation policy. This would create confusion and timely follow -up in my business. I feel by these actions, the FTC does a great disservice to the consuming public and Americans everywhere who are trying to get ahead by starting their own business, or earning necessary supplemental income to help support their family. While I appreciate the work of the FTC in protecting consumers, I believe this proposed new rule has many unintended consequences that could be avoided by a less burdensome and threatening approach to my and many other small businesses. Thank you for your time in considering my opinions and comments. Sincerely, June 6, 2006
