Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The proposed changes to the definitions of "operator" and "website or online service directed to children" will potentially increase the number of operators subject to the Rule. The proposed changes to the definition of "personal information" would expand the definition to encompass additional types of information and thereby potentially increase the number of operators subject to the Rule. The proposed amendment to eliminate the sliding scale "email plus" method for obtaining parental consent may increase the burden for the limited category of operators whose information collection practices to date have enabled them to use this relatively low cost method of obtaining parental consent. Existing operators that currently use the email plus method would incur burden in the first year of implementation to convert to a more reliable method of obtaining verifiable parental consent. The proposed Rule amendments require a safe harbor applicant to submit a more detailed proposal than what the current Rule mandates. Existing safe harbor programs will thus need to submit a revised application and new safe harbor applicants will have to provide greater detail than they would under the current Rule.
