SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The United States and the European Union (EU) share the goal of
enhancing privacy protection for their citizens, but take different
approaches to protecting personal data. Given those differences, the
Department of Commerce (DOC) developed the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield
Framework (Privacy Shield) in consultation with the European
Commission, as well as with industry and other stakeholders, to provide
organizations in the United States with a reliable mechanism for
personal data transfers to the United States from the European Union
while ensuring the protection of the data as required by EU law.
On July 12, 2016, the European Commission deemed the Privacy Shield
Framework adequate to enable data transfers under EU law, and the DOC
began accepting self-certification submissions from organizations on
August 1, 2016. More information on the Privacy Shield is available at:
https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome.
The DOC has issued the Privacy Shield Principles under its
statutory authority to foster, promote, and develop international
commerce (15 U.S.C. 1512). ITA administers and supervises the Privacy
Shield, including by maintaining and making publicly available an
authoritative list of U.S. organizations that have self-certified to
the DOC. U.S. organizations submit information to ITA to self-certify
their compliance with Privacy Shield.
U.S. organizations considering self-certifying to the Privacy
Shield should review the Privacy Shield Framework. In summary, in order
to enter the Privacy Shield, an organization must (a) be subject to the
investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC), the Department of Transportation, or another statutory body that
will effectively ensure compliance with the Principles; (b) publicly
declare its commitment to comply with the Principles; (c) publicly
disclose its privacy policies in line with the Principles; and (d)
fully implement them.
Self-certification to the DOC is voluntary; however, an
organization's failure to comply with the Principles after its self-
certification is enforceable under Section 5 of the Federal Trade
Commission Act prohibiting unfair and deceptive acts in or affecting
commerce (15 U.S.C. 45(a)) or other laws or regulations prohibiting
such acts.
In order to rely on the Privacy Shield for transfers of personal
data from the EU, an organization must self-certify its adherence to
the Principles to the DOC, be placed by the ITA on the Privacy Shield
List, and remain on the Privacy Shield List. To self-certify for the
Privacy Shield, an organization must provide to the DOC a self-
certification submission that contains the information specified in the
Privacy Shield Principles. The Privacy Shield self-certification form,
the proposed information collection, would be the means by which an
organization would provide the relevant information to ITA.

II. Method of Collection

The Privacy Shield self-certification is submitted electronically
by organizations through the DOC's Privacy Shield Web site (https://www.privacyshield.gov/).
