Longtime film rating org.

Answer:

MPAA

Hint:

This group assigned the first G, PG, and R ratings in the late 1960s and was later succeeded by the MPA.

Explanation:

This clue refers to the Motion Picture Association of America, or MPAA, which has been the main organization assigning film ratings (like PG-13 or R) in the U.S. for decades. The word "longtime" hints it’s been around a while, and "film rating org." is a straightforward abbreviation for its role. "MPAA" fits as the short, well-known acronym for the group behind those familiar movie ratings.
