Comments:
Dear Sirs, I am very concerned about the proposal of Business Opportunity Rule R511993. If it is adopted in its present form, my livelihood as a Nature's Sunshine distributor will be significantly oppressed. This would be interference of the free enterprise process that I have been a part of for more than 20 years. The FTC needs to be aware of the dangers of ill considered action. Nature's Sunshine is a very upstanding company which will always buy back product if the new distributor is unhappy with their purchase. The 7 day waiting period is unnecessary and will interfere with my ability to enter into lawful transactions and enroll new distributors. People buy TV's , cars, and other much more costly items without such a waiting period. The propsed waiting period gives the impressiopn that something is wrong with the plan. And, the paperwork, which will not even be read by the public, makes it extremely difficult for the individual participant to fully comply, thereby risking fines and other penalties for such failures, however innocent. By these actions, the FTC does a disservice to their 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. I beleive this proposed new rule has many unintended consequences that could be avoided by a less burdensome approach. Please consider my concern along with many other Americans, I live in a very small town & this has been my main source of income for 20 years, & in all of the 20 years, I've never had l complaint regarding the context of this bill. Please consider my plea. Thank You,
