SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

In response to the European Union 

Directive on Data Protection that 

restricts transfers of personal 

information from Europe to countries 

whose privacy practices are not deemed 

‘‘adequate,’’ the U.S. Department of 

Commerce (DOC) has developed a ‘‘Safe 

Harbor’’ framework that will allow U.S. 

organizations to satisfy the European 

Directive’s requirements and ensure that 

personal data flows to the United States 

are not interrupted. In this process, the 

DOC repeatedly consulted with U.S. 

organizations affected by the European 

Directive and interested nongovernment organizations. On July 27, 

2000, the European Commission issued 

its decision in accordance with Article 

25.6 of the Directive that the Safe 

Harbor Privacy Principles provide 

adequate privacy protection. The Safe 

Harbor framework bridges the 

differences between the European 

Union (EU) and U.S. approaches to 

privacy protection. The complete set of 

Safe Harbor documents and additional 

guidance materials may be found at 

http://export.gov/safeharbor. 

Once the Safe Harbor was deemed 

‘‘adequate’’ by the European 

Commission on July 27, 2000, DOC 

began working on the requirements that 

are necessary to put this accord into 

effect. The European Member States 

implemented the decision made by the 

Commission within 90 days. Therefore, 

the Safe Harbor became operational on 

November 1, 2000. The DOC created a 

list for U.S. organizations to sign up to 

the Safe Harbor and provided guidance 

on the mechanics of signing up to this 

list. As of March 1, 2007, 1,100 U.S. 

organizations have been placed on the 

Safe Harbor List, located at http:// 

export.gov/safeharbor. 

Organizations that have signed up to 

this list are deemed ‘‘adequate’’ under 

the Directive and do not have to provide 

further documentation to European 

officials. This list will be used by EU 

organizations to determine whether 

further information and contracts will 

be needed for a U.S. organization to 

receive personally identifiable 

information. This list is necessary to 

make the Safe Harbor accord 

operational, and was a key demand of 

the Europeans in agreeing that the 

Principles were providing ‘‘adequate’’

privacy protection. 

The Safe Harbor provides a number of 

important benefits to U.S. firms. Most 

importantly, it provides predictability 

and continuity for U.S. organizations 

that receive personal information from 

the European Union. Personally 

identifiable information is defined as 

any information that can be identified to 

a specific person, for example an 

employee’s name and extension would 

be considered personally identifiable 

information. All 15 member countries 

are bound by the European 

Commission’s finding of ‘‘adequacy’’. 

The Safe Harbor also eliminates the 

need for prior approval to begin data 

transfers, or makes approval from the 

appropriate EU member countries 

automatic. The Safe Harbor principles 

offer a simpler and cheaper means of 

complying with the adequacy 

requirements of the Directive, which 

should particularly benefit small and 

medium enterprises. 

The decision to enter the Safe Harbor 

is entirely voluntary. Organizations that 

decide to participate in the Safe Harbor 

must comply with the safe harbor’s 

requirements and publicly declare that 

they do so. To be assured of Safe Harbor 

benefits, an organization needs to 

reaffirm its self-certification annually to 

the Department of Commerce that it 

agrees to adhere to the safe harbor’s 

requirements, which includes elements 

such as notice, choice, access, data 

integrity, security and enforcement. 

This list will be most regularly used 

by European Union organizations to 

determine whether further information 

and contracts will be needed by a U.S. 

organization to receive personally 

identifiable information. It will be used 

by the European Data Protection 

Authorities to determine whether a 

company is providing ‘‘adequate’’

protection, and whether a company has 

requested to cooperate with the Data 

Protection Authority. This list will be 

accessed when there is a complaint 

logged in the EU against a U.S. 

organization. This will be on a monthly 

basis. It will be used by the Federal 

Trade Commission and the Department 

of Transportation to determine whether 

a company is part of the Safe Harbor. 

This will be accessed if a company is 

practicing ‘‘unfair and deceptive’’

practices and has misrepresented itself 

to the public. It will be used by the 

Department of Commerce and the 

European Commission to determine if 

organizations are signing up to the list.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 6, 2004, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published in 

the Federal Register an antidumping 

duty order on floor standing, metal–top 

ironing tables and parts thereof from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). See 

Notice of Amended Final Determination 

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and 

Antidumping Duty Order: Floor– 

Standing, Metal–Top Ironing Tables and 

Certain Parts Thereof From the People’s 

Republic of China, 69 FR 47868 (August 

6, 2004). The Department received 

timely requests from Since Hardware 

(Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (‘‘Since 

Hardware’’) and Foshan Shunde 

Yongjian Housewares & Hardware Co., 

Ltd. (‘‘Foshan Shunde’’), in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(2), for an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on ironing 

tables and parts thereof from the PRC, 

which has an August annual 

anniversary month. Home Products 

International Inc., the petitioner, also 

requested, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b)(1), an administrative review 

of the antidumping duty order on 

ironing tables and parts thereof from the 

PRC for Since Hardware. On September 

26, 2006, the Department initiated an 

administrative review with respect to 

Since Hardware and Foshan Shunde. 

See Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 

2006). 

On January 23, 2007, the Department 

rescinded the administrative review 

with respect to Foshan Shunde because 

it withdrew its request for an 

administrative review in a timely 

manner, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1). See Floor–Standing, 

Metal–Top Ironing Tables and Certain 

Parts Thereof from the People’s 

Republic of China: Notice of Partial 

Rescission of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, 72 FR 2856 

(January 23, 2007). 

The deadline for completion of the 

preliminary results in the administrative 

review for Since Hardware is currently 

May 3, 2007. 

Extension of Time Limits for 

Preliminary Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), and 

section 351.213(h)(1) of the 

Department’s regulations require the 

Department to issue the preliminary 

results of an administrative review 

within 245 days after the last day of the 

anniversary month of the order or 

suspension agreement for which the 

administrative review was requested, 

and the final results of the review 

within 120 days after the date on which 

the notice of the preliminary results was 

published in the Federal Register. 

However, if the Department determines 

that it is not practicable to complete the 

review within this time period, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 

351.213(h)(2) of the Department’s 

regulations allow the Department to 

extend the 245-day period to 365 days 

and the 120-day period to 180 days. 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act and section 351.213(h) of the 

Department’s regulations, we determine 

that it is not practicable to complete this 

administrative review within the 

statutory time limit of 245 days. The 

Department requires additional time to 

analyze questionnaire responses, issue 

supplemental questionnaires, and 

possibly conduct verification. In 

particular, there are complex factors of 

production methodology issues that the 

Department requires additional time to 

review. Therefore, in accordance with 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 

section 351.213(h)(2) of the 

Department’s regulations, the 

Department is extending the time limit 

for the completion of these preliminary 

results by an additional 120 days to 

August 31, 2007. The final results, in 

turn, will be due 120 days after the date 

of issuance of the preliminary results, 

unless extended. 

Dated: April 11, 2007. 

Stephen J. Claeys, 

Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import 

Administration.
