DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
International Trade Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield; Invitation for Applications for
Inclusion on the Supplemental List of Arbitrators
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on July 28, 2021 during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
Title: 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: Extension of a current information collection.
Number of Respondents: 20.
Average Hours per Response: 240 minutes.
Burden Hours: 80 hours.
Needs and Uses: As described in Annex I of the Swiss-U.S. Privacy
Shield Framework, the Department of Commerce (the Department) and the
Swiss Administration 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. Organizations
voluntarily self-certify to the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework
and, upon certification, the commitments the organization has made to
comply with the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework become legally
enforceable under U.S. law. Organizations that self-certify to the
Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework commit to binding arbitration of
residual claims if a Swiss individual chooses to exercise that option.
Under the arbitration option, a Privacy Shield Panel (consisting of one
or three arbitrators, as agreed by the parties) has the authority to
impose individual-specific, non-monetary equitable relief (such as
access, correction, deletion, or return of the Swiss individual's data
in question) necessary to remedy the violation of the Swiss-U.S.
Privacy Shield Framework only with respect to the individual. The
Department and the Swiss Administration will seek to maintain a list of
up to five arbitrators chosen on the basis of independence, integrity,
and expertise from which the parties will select the arbitrators, which
will supplement the list of arbitrators developed under the EU-U.S.
Privacy Shield Framework. The arbitral mechanism outlined in Annex I of
the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield
Framework is a critical component of the Privacy Shield frameworks.
Publishing this notice to collect information from individuals applying
for inclusion on the list of arbitrators is a necessary step to
maintain the arbitral mechanism. The Department previously requested
and obtained approval of this information collection (OMB Control No.
0625-0278) and now seeks renewal of this information collection.
Although the Department is not currently seeking additional
applications, it may do so in the future as appropriate.
Affected Public: Private individuals.
Frequency: Recurrent, depending on the number of arbitrators
required to retain an active list of 5 arbitrators.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Legal Authority: The Department's statutory authority to foster,
promote, and develop the foreign and domestic commerce of the United
States (15 U.S.C. 1512).

Commerce collections currently under review by OMB.
