How can organizations with self-regulatory guidelines qualify for safe harbor treatment?
The organization must submit its guidelines to the FTC for approval. The Commission will publish submissions for public comment and then make a determination of whether the guidelines meet the criteria set forth in the Rule. The key criteria are that the guidelines provide the same or greater protections for children as the Rule; provide effective, mandatory mechanisms for assessing participants compliance with the requirements; and offer compliance incentives that provide for effective enforcement of the Rule. See 16 C.F.R. 312.10(b).
