Re Business Opportunity Rule, R511993 To Whom It May Concern: I am very concerned about the above proposed new Rule as it could prevent me from continuing as a distributor for Young Living Essential Oils. The 7-day Waiting Period doesn't make sense to me as it would be burdensome to keep such detailed records & unnecessary paperwork to have to send to the co. headquarters. Regarding the release of info. about lawsuits involving misrepresentation/unfair/deceptive practices irrespective of whether the company was found innocent or not, does not make sense either; as we know anyone or any company can be sued for anything! The section on references, cancellations and exemptions make no sense either as people are very concerned about their privacy and identity theft; and may decide to discontinue purchasing or lose their distributor status. I appreciate what the FTC does to protect consumers, however, this proposed new rule has many unintended consequences as I believe there are less burdensome alternatives available to achieving these goals. Thank you for your time in considering my comments. Sincerely, Anne Cafferty
