SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Business Opportunity Rule, 16 CFR part 437. OMB Control Number: 3084–0142. Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection. Abstract: The Rule requires business opportunity sellers to furnish to prospective purchasers a disclosure document that provides information relating to the seller, the seller’s business, the nature of the proposed business opportunity, as well as additional information regarding any claims about actual or potential sales, income, or profits for a prospective business opportunity purchaser. The seller must also preserve information that forms a reasonable basis for such claims. These disclosure and recordkeeping requirements are subject to the PRA. The Rule is designed to ensure that prospective purchasers of a business opportunity receive information that will help them evaluate the opportunity that is presented to them. Part 437 was promulgated in March of 2007, concurrently with the amendment of the Franchise Rule, and it mirrors the requirements and prohibitions of the original Franchise Rule. The FTC recently announced final amendments to the Rule that will take effect on March 1, 2012.1 This notice, however, applies to the current requirements of Part 437, which remain in effect until February 28, 2012.2 On September 26, 2011, the Commission sought comment on the information collection requirements associated with the Rule currently in effect. 76 FR 59,397.
