Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the

[[Page 48421]]

following proposal for collection of information under the provisions 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce.
    Title: Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request; Swiss-U.S. 
Privacy Shield; Invitation for Applications for Inclusion on the 
Supplemental List of Arbitrators.
    OMB Control Number: 0625-0278.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Number of Respondents: 20.
    Average Hours per Response: 240 Minutes.
    Burden Hours: 80.
    Needs and Uses: Under the Swiss- U.S. Privacy Shield, the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (DOC) and the Swiss Administration have 
committed to implement an arbitration mechanism to provide Swiss 
individuals with the ability to invoke binding arbitration to 
determine, for residual claims, whether an organization has violated 
its obligations under the Privacy Shield. The DOC and the Swiss 
Administration will work together to implement the arbitration 
mechanism, including developing a list of up to 5 arbitrators. While 
the DOC is not currently seeking applications for inclusion on the 
list, it may do so in the future to maintain the list. The arbitrators 
are chosen on the basis of independence, integrity, and expertise. 
Parties to a binding arbitration under this Privacy Shield mechanism 
may only select arbitrators from the list of arbitrators developed 
under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, as supplemented by the list 
of arbitrators developed under the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. 
The arbitral mechanism is a critical component of the Swiss-U.S. 
Privacy Shield Framework. More than 3,700 U.S.-based organizations 
currently rely on the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks 
to transfer the personal data from EU and Switzerland to the United 
States necessary to do business across the Atlantic. Such a data 
transfer mechanism is critically important, because it protects 
individual privacy while meeting the legitimate needs of companies 
thereby facilitating over $1 trillion in transatlantic trade.
    Affected Public: Private individuals.
    Frequency: Recurrent, depending on the number of arbitrators 
required to retain an active list of up to five arbitrators.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
