## Adequate Protection of Personal Data

**The European Union – United States**
**Safe Harbor Framework:**
**Bridging Differences in Approaches **
**To Data Protection**
**December 7, 2005, Washington**
**Peter Schaar **
**Federal Data Protection Commissioner, Germany**
**Chairman of the Article 29 Working Party**

## Particular problems in 3rd countries

- Different protection levels in public and private sectors
- No general data protection legislation (only specific laws for certain particular areas)
- federal systems (Germany, Canada, USA)
- differences between various states
- some US states have explicit privacy protection in their state constitution, others not
- States with / without data protection legislation
- Supervisory authority
- Requirement of an independent DPA
- Internal data protection officers
- special case: FTC – consumer privacy

## Adequacy – legal alternatives

- European Directive 95/46/EC
- Principle of adequate protection – basic rule for transfer of data to third countries: - Art. 25 (6) decision process - Art. 29 WP no explicit role – Member States and Commission (Article 31 (2))
- Art. 26 derogations for countries not ensuring adequate level of protection

## Adequate protection? 

- Basic principles have to be included:
- purpose limitation
- data quality and proportionality
- transparency and security
- rights of data subject to access, rectification and objection
- restrictions on onward transfers to other 3rd   countries
- Requirements for procedural/enforcement mechanisms
- external supervision
- independent DPA
- sanctions
- support/help to individual data subjects
- appropriate redress to injured party

## Commission’s decisions [Art. 25 (6)]

- Recognition of adequate protection
- Switzerland: 26 July 2000 [C(2000)2304]
- Canada: 20 December 2001 [C(2001) 4539]
- Argentina: 30 June 2003 [C(2003)1731]
- USA – only Safe Harbor and PNR – no general decision

## Alternatives to adequacy decisions 

- MS may authorize transfer of data where data controllers offer adequate safeguards [Art. 26 (2)] - standard contractual clauses- binding corporate rules
- Derogations of Art. 26 (1), e.g.:- consent of the data subject- necessary for a contract- important public interest
- Restrictive interpretation of derogations

## Conclusions

- Enlargement of safe harbors
- Codes of conduct for specific sectors
- Sector specific adequacy decisions?
- Binding corporate rules (one stop shopping)
- Federal US data protection act?

## ENHANCING PEER REVIEWImplementation of Recommended ActionsSeptember 2008 Update

**ENHANCING PEER REVIEW****Implementation of ****Recommended Actions*****September 2008 Update***

## Background

- June 2007 – Feb. 2008

- March 2008 – June 2008

- September 2008

***Year-long Deliberative Effort Gathering Feedback & Input:***
- Request for Information
- NIH Staff survey
- IC White Papers
- Internal Town Hall Meetings
- External Consultation Meetings
- Data Analysis
- Internal and External Working Groups

**Peer Review Oversight Committee (PROC) Established Working Groups:**
- 1.Engage the Best Reviewers
- 2.Improve the Quality and Transparency of Review
- 3.Ensure Balanced and Fair Reviews Across Scientific Fields and Career Stages 4.Continuous Review of Peer Review

**Identified Key Recommendations**

## Summary of Recommendations

## Implementation Overview

_**Priority Area 1 **__**–**__** Engage the Best Reviewers**_
**Improve Reviewer Retention. **In 2009, new reviewers will be given additional flexibility regarding their tour of duty and other efforts will be undertaken to improve retention of standing review members.
**Recruit the Best Reviewers.** A toolkit, incorporating best practices for recruiting reviewers, will be made available to all ICs in 2009.
**Enhance Reviewer Training. **In spring 2009, training will be available to reviewers and SROs related to the changes in peer review.
**Allow Flexibility through Virtual Reviews. **Pilots will be conducted in 2009 on the feasibility of using high-bandwidth support for review meetings to provide reviewers greater flexibility and alternatives for in-person meetings.

## Implementation Overview

_**Priority Area 2 **__**–**__** Improve the Quality and Transparency of Review**_
**Improve Scoring Transparency and Scale.** Review criteria-based scoring on 1-7 scale commences in May 2009. Reviewers will provide feedback through scores and critiques for each criterion in a structured summary statement.
**Provide Scores for Streamlined Applications. **In 2009, streamlined applications will receive a preliminary score**.**
**Shorten and Restructure Applications. **Shorter (12 page research plan) R01 applications (with other activity codes scaled appropriately) will be restructured to align with review criteria for January 2010 receipt dates.

## Implementation Overview

_**Priority Area 3 – Ensure Balanced and Fair Reviews across Scientific Fields and Career Stages, and Reduce Administrative Burden**_
**Fund the Best Science Earlier and Reduce Need for Resubmissions.**  To ensure that the largest number of high quality and meritorious applications receive funding earlier and to improve system efficiency, NIH is considering separate percentiling of new and resubmitted applications and permitting one amended application.
**Review Like Applications Together.  **NIH is establishing an Early Stage Investigator (ESI) designation.  In 2009, NIH will evaluate clustering ESI applications for review.  The same approach will be considered for clinical research applications.

## LAUC: findings, observations, recommendations-1

**    ****J.  Bisognano, J. H. Harris**

**Findings**
- LARP:  incubator role for LAUC
- 	Commendable sense of program responsibility: *luminosity *!
- 	Filling organizational vacuum in US
- 	Primary liaison to CERN by default
- CERN is defining mission need and scope
- 	Initiatives for LAUC chosen in improvisational way
- 	Any hope of LARP influencing CERN decisions?
- 	CERN decision and US CD-n process are mismatched* at this stage*
- Proposed hardware deliverables for LAUC
- 	Schemes presented mainly optimization of existing technology 	Separate from fundamental LARP mission
- Unfair to expect high end project performance from creative R&D culture of LARP
- Completion of LHC MIE project removes existing project framework

## LAUC: findings, observations, recommendations-2

**Recommendations**
- Make name of LAUC distinguishable from LARP in international English
- New protocol for US participation in LHC accelarator development
- 	Define US role
- 	Process for project selection; interaction w/ community, DOE, CERN
- Establish LAUC project management
- 	Host laboratory
- 	Project management conforming to DOE requirements
- 	Define and control deliverables
- 	Careful budget process
- 	Draw from LARP and wider technical community
- 	Extensive reviewing coordinated with CERN
- Selection of LAUC projects
- 	Present choices not unreasonable
- 	However, CERN needs and desires not clear
- 	Request formal CERN input
- Funding for LAUC should be independent of LARP funding

- Author emailed with suggested corrections, if needed
- Paper is electronically published and posted to web server
- Record of paper is created and linked in SPIRES
- Preprint fully searchable on our webpage through SPIRES
- OSTI harvests records from SPIRES

## Fermilab Document Submission System

- Steps Then (1995)
- Author called or stopped in office to request number and deliver paper copy of preprint
- Paper entered by hand into log book
- All approvals and reviews done by hand with paper copy
- Final preprints snail-mailed out to hundreds

## Fermilab Document Submission System

- STATS
- Working out technical issue so that papers can be electronically reviewed by ORTA. Reviewer selection will continue to be a by-hand process
- Recently implemented electronic peer review of papers
- Noticed immediately that processing time decreased by 5 days
- For example, a paper was sent to author with corrections needed at  3:25p.m. We received corrected version at 4:15p.m. Used to take up to 2 weeks
- Number of papers preprinted and processed almost doubled in 5 years -- 600 in 2005, 385 in 2000
- That number due to increased processing speed and outreach to authors and lab employees

## Fermilab SSC Scanning Project

- On loan from the Fermilab Archives
- Scanning roughly 800 original Superconducting Super Collider scientific and technical documents
- 225 completed
- Interest in ILC is creating interest in SSC docs
- Made into .PDFs
- Searchable through SPIRES
- 205 SSC papers held at OSTI and linked in SPIRES
