SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521, Federal
agencies must obtain approval from
OMB for each collection of information
they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of
information’’ means agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. 44 U.S.C.
3502(3); 5 CFR 1320.3(c). As required by
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the
FTC is providing this opportunity for
public comment before requesting that
OMB extend the existing clearance for
the information collection requirements
contained in the Business Opportunity
Rule, 16 CFR part 437 (OMB Control
Number 3084–0142).
The FTC invites comments on: (1)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection

techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
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. Part 437 mirrors the
requirements and prohibitions of the
original Franchise Rule, and imposes no
additional disclosure or recordkeeping
obligations or prohibitions.1 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 requirements are subject
to the PRA.
Estimated annual hours burden:
16,750 hours.
Based on a review of trade
publications and information from state
regulatory authorities, staff believes
that, on average, from year to year, there
are approximately 2,500 business
opportunity sellers, with perhaps about
10% of that total reflecting an equal
amount of new and departing business
entrants.
The burden estimates for compliance
will vary depending on the particular
business opportunity seller’s prior
experience with the original Franchise
Rule. Staff estimates that 250 or so new
business opportunity sellers will enter
the market each year, requiring
approximately 30 hours each to develop
a Rule-compliant disclosure document.
Thus, staff estimates that the cumulative
annual disclosure burden for new
business opportunity sellers will be
approximately 7,500 hours. Staff further
estimates that the remaining 2,250
1 In March of 2008, the Commission published
the Business Opportunity Rule Revised Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, 73 FR 16110 (March 26,
2008) (‘‘Notice’’). The Notice proposed amending
the Business Opportunity Rule substantially, and
would, among other things, reduce the number of
required disclosures by sellers of business
opportunities to prospective purchasers.
Conversely, the Notice proposed amending the rule
to expand the coverage of entities required to make
disclosures to include a broader array of business
opportunities than those covered by the original
Franchise Rule. For now, however, only those
businesses opportunities covered by the original
Franchise Rule—such as vending machine and rack
display opportunities—remain covered under part
437.
