Comments:
Dear Sir, I am concerned with the proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993. As a Nature’s Sunshine distributor, I will be significantly undermined, not to mention, it would unfairly target other legitimate direct selling businesses. This proposed rule is misguided and results in government over-regulation. It raises privacy issues due to ID theft and safety, casting a negative light on direct selling. I understand that fraudulent groups are out there, but the FTC’s interference in free enterprise is a disservice to the public, and does not serve it’s best interests with this rule, especially if an industry is causing absolutely no harm. Nature Sunshine adequately polices itself by remedying any and all complaints by members or the public, it complies with all applicable buy back requirements, and makes it easy for individuals to exit the Company - by choice. People buy a multitude of costly items daily without a waiting period, not to mention the burdensome paperwork that this rule implies. Therefore, not only is this rule an infringement on my business opportunities, but it will produce a devastating impact on public consumers and other Americans attempting to support personal enterprises or to supplement their income. Thank you for considering my comments. Sincerely yours, Frances Sepesy
