SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2000, OMB approved the FTC’s request to conduct surveys on consumers’ use of and familiarity with the rating or labeling systems of the motion picture, music recording, and video and personal computer game industries (OMB Control Number 3084–0120). After receiving OMB approval, the FTC conducted the consumer research and, in September 2000, the Commission issued a report requested by the President and Congress entitled, Marketing Violent Entertainment to Children: A Review of Self-Regulation and Industry Practices in the Motion Picture, Music Recording & Electronic Game Industries (hereafter ‘‘2000 Report’’).2 The Commission found that 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 Commission Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c). 2 Available at https://www.ftc.gov/reports/ violence/vioreport.pdf. PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 16155 the electronic game industry had engaged in widespread marketing of violent electronic games to children that: (1) Was inconsistent with the ESRB rating system; 3 and (2) undermined parents’ attempts to make informed decisions about their children’s exposure to violent content. Similar results were found for the motion picture and music recording industries. The Commission also found that advertisements for electronic games frequently failed to contain rating information. Further, the Commission’s national surveys of parents and children found that only 61% of parents were aware of the ESRB system, and nearly half of those parents reported that they rarely or never used the ESRB system.4 In April 2001,5 December 2001,6 June 2002,7 and July 2004,8 the Commission issued follow-up reports to assess changes in industry practices. The first two follow-up reports documented progress by the video game industry to limit advertising in popular teen media. The third follow-up report found that the game industry was in substantial compliance with ESRB standards governing ad placements and disclosure of rating information in advertising. There were, however, some advertisements for Mature-rated games 9 placed on television programs with large numbers of teen viewers and continued placement of such ads in game enthusiast magazines with large youth readership. The Commission’s July 2004 report found substantial compliance with ESRB standards governing ad placements and that 3 As indicated on its Web site, https:// www.esrb.org, the ESRB ‘‘is a self-regulatory body for the interactive entertainment software industry established in 1994 by the Entertainment Software Association, formerly the Interactive Digital Software Association. ESRB independently applies and enforces ratings, advertising guidelines, and online privacy principles adopted by the computer and video game industry. The ESRB rating system helps parents and other consumers choose the games that are right for their families. ESRB ratings have two parts: rating symbols that suggest what age group the game is best for, and content descriptors that indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern.’’ 4 See 2000 Report, Appendix F at https:// www.ftc.gov/reports/violence/appendicesviorpt.pdf. Appendix F also contains a detailed discussion of the underlying methodology and findings. 5 Available at https://www.ftc.gov/reports/ violence/violence010423.pdf. 6 Available at https://www.ftc.gov/os/2001/12/ violencereport1.pdf. 7 Available at https://www.ftc.gov/reports/ violence/mvecrpt0206.pdf. 8 Available at https://www.ftc.gov/os/2004/07/ 040708kidsviolencerpt.pdf. 9 According to the ESRB, Mature-rated games have content that may be suitable for persons 17 years of age and older.
