Re: Proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993 7 Day Waiting Period to enroll new distributors is confusing and burdensome. It gives impression that there is something wrong with the plan . It is unnecessary because Sunrider already he a 60 day return policy applicable to all products including the S.R. Starter Pack. The administrative burden of keeping very detailed records and having to send numerous reports to Sunrider Headquarters is burdensome for small business people like myself. The rule regarding a minimum of ten prior purchasers nearest to th prospective purchaser could cause small business people like me much trouble. I also think think the following sentence required by the proposed rule will prevent many people from wantint to sign up as a sales person (Distributor). People are very much concerned about their identity theft . They would be reluctant to share their personal info with people they most likely have never met. I have been an independent Sunrider distributor for more than 15 years. Originally, I became a distributore of Sunrider products because I liked them and wanted to sipplement my income. Now, the income is substantial and we depend on upon it. We much appreciate your important work to protect consumers but I believe the proposed new rule contains many consequences that are not intended, and there are less burdensome alternatives available to achieve its goals. Thank you for considering my comments. Sincerely,
