Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 78 / Friday, April 24, 2009 / Notices 18715 

9 The version of the revised proposed Disclosure 

Form that was tested by the expert inadvertently 

omitted the phrase ‘‘or pay any money’’ from the 

conclusion of the penultimate sentence of the 

revised proposed Disclosure Form. The expert 

engaged by the FTC determined that this omission 

had no effect on the results of its testing. 

resulted in substantial improvement to 

both the layout and the wording of the 

form, e.g., the consultant suggested 

revising the preamble to clarify that the 

information on the proposed Disclosure 

Form relates specifically to the business 

opportunity that the reader is being 

offered, and suggested adding a note 

below the signature line stating that the 

FTC requires that the business 

opportunity seller give the reader at 

least seven calendar days before asking 

him or her to sign a purchase contract. 

The format and language of the revised 

proposed Business Opportunity 

Disclosure Form (‘‘revised proposed 

Disclosure Form’’) is set forth in 

Appendix A to this Notice.9 More 

information about the testing of the 

proposed Disclosure Form may be found 

at: (http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/workshops/ 

bizopps/disclosure-form-report.pdf). 

II. Issues for Discussion at the 

Workshop 

The primary focus of the workshop 

will be on the efficacy of the revised 

proposed Disclosure Form to convey 

critical material information to 

prospective purchasers of business 

opportunities. The workshop will 

explore the form as a whole, as well as 

specific aspects or sections of the 

form—for example, whether the 

required disclosures regarding legal 

actions and cancellation or refund 

policies are adequate. The workshop 

also will provide participants with an 

opportunity to discuss some general 

issues raised in the comments received 

in response to the RNPR, including: the 

implications of the RPBOR for 

businesses and consumers; whether 

certain definitions proposed in the 

RNPR accomplish the Commission’s 

purposes stated in the RNPR; and the 

RPBOR’s compatibility with existing 

federal and state policies. A more 

detailed agenda will be published at a 

later date, in advance of the scheduled 

workshop.
