Background

On April 15, 2014, NASAA authorized the re-release for public comment of a revised proposed Multi-Unit Commentary (the “Revised Commentary”). In response, NASAA received a total of 2 formal public comments and an additional informal comment. Some of the comments repeated suggested revisions the Franchise Project Group considered and rejected, and other comments suggested clarifying and improving specific items.

After reviewing all comments, the Franchise Project Group proposes to make some revisions to the Multi-Unit Commentary and we propose to add a new item (SF 20.3) that did not appear in the Revised Commentary, although a different version of SF 20.3 was included in the original Commentary. A black-lined copy of the specific items from the Revised Commentary the Franchise Project Group proposes to revise is attached, as well as a complete copy of the proposed final Multi-Unit Commentary.
