SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 17, 2022, the Commission
announced that it would seek public
comments on whether to make changes
to the Business Opportunity Rule (the

subsequently published in the Federal

comments in response to the ANPR
would help facilitate the creation of a
more complete record. The Commission
has therefore decided to extend the
comment period for seven days, or to
January 31, 2023. A seven-day extension
will provide commenters adequate time
to address the issues raised in the
ANPR.
By direction of the Commission.
