SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Section A. Background 

On October 20, 1999, the Commission 

issued its final Rule1 pursuant to the 

Children’s Online Privacy Protection 

Act, 15 U.S.C. 6501, et seq, which 

became effective on April 21, 2000.2

The Rule requires certain website 

operators to post privacy policies, 

provide notice, and obtain parental 

consent prior to collecting, using, or 

disclosing personal information from 

children. The Rule contains a ‘‘safe 

harbor’’ provision enabling industry 

groups or others to submit to the 

Commission for approval self-regulatory 

guidelines that would implement the 

Rule’s protections.3

Pursuant to Section 312.10 of the 

Rule, iSAFE has submitted proposed 

self-regulatory guidelines to the 

Commission for approval. The full text 

of the proposed guidelines is available 

on the Commission’s website, at 

(www.ftc.gov/bcp/ 

isafesafeharborapplication.pdf). 

Section B. Questions on the Proposed 

Guidelines 

The Commission is seeking comment 

on various aspects of the proposed 

guidelines, and is particularly interested 

in receiving comment on the questions 

that follow. These questions are

impact of the provision(s) (including 

any benefits and costs), if any, and (b) 

what alternatives, if any, iSAFE should 

consider, as well as the costs and 

benefits of those alternatives. 

2. Do the provisions of the proposed 

guidelines governing operators’ 

information practices provide ‘‘the same 

or greater protections for children’’ as 

those contained in Sections 312.2-312.8 

of the Rule?4 Where possible, please cite 

the relevant sections of both the Rule 

and the proposed guidelines. 

3. Are the mechanisms used to assess 

operators’ compliance with the 

guidelines effective?5 If not, please 

describe (a) how the proposed 

guidelines could be modified to satisfy 

the Rule’s requirements, and (b) the 

costs and benefits of those 

modifications. 

4. Are the incentives for operators’ 

compliance with the guidelines 

effective?6 If not, please describe (a) 

how the proposed guidelines could be 

modified to satisfy the Rule’s 

requirements, and (b) the costs and 

benefits of those modifications. 

5. Do the guidelines provide adequate 

means for resolving consumer 

complaints? If not, please describe (a)

complaints adequately, and (b) the costs 

and benefits of those modifications.

facts necessary to reach a determination 

as to whether to approve the proposed 

guidelines. Written comments must be 

received on or before March 1, 2010, 

and may be submitted electronically or 

in paper form. Comments should refer 

to ‘‘iSAFE Safe Harbor Proposal, 

P094504’’ to facilitate the organization of

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 13, 2010 / Proposed Rules 1735 

7 The comment must be accompanied by an 

explicit request for confidential treatment, 

including the factual and legal basis for the request, 

and must identify the specific portions of the 

comment to be withheld from the public record. 

The request will be granted or denied by the 

Commission’s General Counsel, consistent with 

applicable law and the public interest. See FTC 

Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c). 

(http://www.ftc.gov/os/ 

publiccomments.shtm). 

Because comments will be made 

public, they should not include any 

sensitive personal information, such as 

any individual’s Social Security 

number; date of birth; driver’s license 

number or other state identification 

number, or foreign country equivalent; 

passport number; financial account 

number; or credit or debit card number. 

Comments also should not include any 

sensitive health information, such as 

medical records or other individually 

identifiable health information. In 

addition, comments should not include 

any ‘‘[t]rade secret or any commercial or 

financial information which is obtained 

from any person and which is privileged 

or confidential...,’’ as provided in 

Section 6(f) of the Federal Trade 

Commission Act (‘‘FTC Act’’), 15 U.S.C. 

46(f), and FTC Rule 4.10(a)(2), 16 CFR

material for which confidential 

treatment is requested must be filed in 

paper form, must be clearly labeled 

‘‘Confidential,’’ and must comply with 

FTC Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c).7

Because paper mail addressed to the 

FTC is subject to delay due to 

heightened security screening, please 

consider submitting your comments in 

electronic form. Comments filed in 

electronic form should be submitted by 

using the following weblink: (https:// 

public.commentworks.com/ftc/ 

iSAFEsafeharbor) (and following the

ensure that the Commission considers 

an electronic comment, you must file it 

on the web-based form at the weblink 

(https://public.commentworks.com/ftc/ 

iSAFEsafeharbor). If this document 

appears at (http://www.regulations.gov/ 

search/Regs/home.html#home), you 

may also file an electronic comment 

through that website. The Commission 

will consider all comments that 

regulations.gov forwards to it. You may 

also visit the FTC Website at (http:// 

www.ftc.gov) to read the document and 

the news release describing it. 

A comment filed in paper form 

should include the ‘‘iSAFE Safe Harbor 

Proposal, P094504’’ reference both in the 

text and on the envelope, and should be 

mailed or delivered to the following 

address: Federal Trade Commission, 

Office of the Secretary, Room H-135 

(Annex E), 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, 

NW, Washington, DC 20580. The FTC is 

requesting that any comment filed in 

paper form be sent by courier or 

overnight service, if possible, because 

U.S. postal mail in the Washington area 

and at the Commission is subject to 

delay due to heightened security 

precautions. 

The FTC Act and other laws the 

Commission administers permit the 

collection of public comments to 

consider and use in this proceeding as 

appropriate. The Commission will 

consider all timely and responsive 

public comments that it receives, 

whether filed in paper or electronic 

form. Comments received will be 

available to the public on the FTC 

website, to the extent practicable, at 

(http://www.ftc.gov/os/ 

publiccomments.shtm). As a matter of 

discretion, the Commission makes every 

effort to remove home contact 

information for individuals from the 

public comments it receives before 

placing those comments on the FTC 

Website. More information, including 

routine uses permitted by the Privacy 

Act may be found in the FTC’s privacy 

policy, at (http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/ 

privacy.shtm). 

By direction of the Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Federal, State, and local government 

programs seek to help elderly or 

disabled individuals maintain their 

independence by funding home health 

care and other personal services. See, 

for example, Deficit Reduction Act of 

2005, Public Law 109–171, se. 6071, 120 

Stat. 4, 102–110 (2006) (authorizing the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

to, among other things, award grants to 

states to ‘‘[i]ncrease the use of home and 

community-based, rather than 

institutional, long-term care services.’’) 

The government agencies that 

administer the programs seek to assist 

the service recipients with employment 

tax compliance by helping the service 

recipients to designate agents to report, 

file, and pay employment taxes on their 

behalf. The IRS and the Treasury 

Department are proposing changes to 

the regulations under section 3504, the 

section under which a third party can be 

authorized to act as an agent for an 

employer, to permit designated agents to 

provide comprehensive assistance to 

these service recipients who are 

employers.
