Request for Comments Concerning Trade Regulation Rule on Disclosure Requirements and Prohibitions Concerning Franchising and Business Opportunity Ventures

The Federal Trade Commission (the ``Commission'') is requesting public comments on its Trade Regulation Rule on Disclosure Requirements and Prohibitions Concerning Franchising and Business Opportunity Ventures (``the Franchise Rule'' or ``the Rule''). The Commission is requesting comments about the overall costs and benefits of the Rule and its overall regulatory and economic impact as a part of its systematic review of all current Commission regulations and guides. The Commission also is requesting comment on whether the Rule should be modified to: Replace the Rule's disclosure requirements with those set forth in the revised Uniform Franchise Offering Circular Guidelines, approved by the Commission on December 30, 1993; modify the scope of disclosure requirements for business opportunity ventures; clarify the applicability of the Rule to trade show promoters; and require the disclosure of earnings information. All interested persons are hereby given notice of the opportunity to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the Rule.
