Comments:
To Whom it may concern, I am writing this letter because my husband and I are concerned about the proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993. If this is adopted in it's present form, our business will be significantly undermined. We have worked very hard these last two years to start our business and to get it growing. Because of the economy, we have had to find easier ways to help the public to be able to afford to get well. With our marketing in Natures sunshine, we were able to do just that. The patients as well as we are very plesed to find a company that is wso reputable. Yet we undestand your concerns wieth the public needs. While the FTC needs to protect the public where necessary, this proposed rule is hopelessly overboard and misguided. The seven-day waiting period is unnecessary asnd will interferer with my ability to enter into lawful transactions asdn enroll new distributors. I feel that company's that have been doing business for the last 20 years, like Natures Sunshine, should be able to be grand fathered in the way they habe been doing business. This proposed waiting period gives the impression that something is wrong with the plan. Adn the burdensome paperwork, which will not even be read by the public, makes it extremely difficult for the individual participant to fully comply, therby risking fines and other penatlies for such failures, howerver innocent. By these action, the FTC does a disservice to the consuming public and Americnas everywhere who are trying to get ahead by starting their own businesses or earning necessary supplemental income to help support their families Whie we appriciate the ork of the FTC in protecting consumers, we believe this proposed new rule has many unintended consequences that could be avoided by a less burdensome approach. Thank you for your time in considering my comments. Sincerely yours, Rev. Barbara and Bob Huttinga PA-C
