Safe Harbor Program
The COPPA Rule enables industry groups or others to submit for Commission approval self-regulatory guidelines implementing the protections afforded by the Rule. The Commission must act on a request for “safe harbor” treatment within 180 days of the filing of the request, and after the proposed guidelines have been subject to notice and comment. Section 312.10 of the final Rule sets out the criteria for approval of guidelines and the materials that must be submitted as part of a safe harbor application. To access approved applications
