SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield 

Framework was designed by the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (DOC) and the 

Swiss Administration (Swiss) to provide 

companies in both Switzerland and the 

United States with a mechanism to 

comply with data protection 

requirements when transferring 

personal data from Switzerland to the 

United States in support of transatlantic 

commerce. On January 12, 2017, the 

Swiss deemed the Swiss-U.S. Privacy 

Shield Framework (Swiss Privacy 

Shield) adequate to enable data transfers 

under Swiss law, and on April 12, 2017, 

the DOC began accepting selfcertifications from U.S. companies to 

join the program (82 FR 16375; April 12, 

2017). For more information on the 

Privacy Shield, visit 

www.privacyshield.gov. 

As described in Annex I of the Swiss 

Privacy Shield, the DOC and the Swiss 

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 

Privacy Shield and, upon certification, 

the commitments the organization has 

made to comply with the Swiss Privacy 

Shield become legally enforceable under 

U.S. law. Organizations that self-certify 

to the Swiss Privacy Shield commit to 

binding arbitration of residual claims if 

the individual chooses to exercise that 

option. Under the arbitration option, a 

Privacy Shield Panel a (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 

individual’s data in question) necessary 

to remedy the violation of the Swiss 

Privacy Shield only with respect to the 

individual. The parties will select the 

arbitrators from the list of arbitrators 

described below. 

The DOC and the Swiss 

Administration are developing a list of 

up to five arbitrators to supplement the 

list of arbitrators developed under the 

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. To 

be eligible for inclusion on the 

supplemental list, applicants must be 

admitted to practice law in the United 

States and have expertise in both U.S. 

privacy law and European or Swiss data 

protection law. Applicants shall not be 

subject to any instructions from, or be 

affiliated with, any Privacy Shield 

organization, or the U.S., Switzerland, 

EU, or any EU Member State or any 

other governmental authority, public 

authority or enforcement authority. 

The DOC received emergency 

approval for this information collection 

on March 26, 2018 under Control 

Number 0625–0278. Upon receiving that 

approval, the DOC accepted 

applications submitted by April 30, 

2018 for inclusion on the Supplemental 

List of Arbitrators. The DOC is currently 

evaluating applicants who submitted by 

April 30, 2018 and is thus not currently

process and the role of the administrator, see

seeking additional applications. 

However, the DOC is now submitting a 

request for a 3-year approval through 

OMB’s general PRA clearance process, 

because it may seek additional 

applications in the future as 

appropriate. 

To be considered for inclusion on the 

Supplemental List of Arbitrators, 

eligible individuals are evaluated on the 

basis of independence, integrity, and 

expertise: 

Independence: Freedom from bias and 

prejudice. 

Integrity: Held in the highest regard 

by peers for integrity, fairness and good 

judgment. 

Demonstrates high ethical standards 

and commitment necessary to be an 

arbitrator. 

Expertise 

Required: Admission to practice law 

in the United States. 

Level of demonstrated expertise in 

U.S. privacy law and European or Swiss 

data protection law. 

Other expertise that may be 

considered includes any of the 

following: 

Relevant educational degrees and 

professional licenses. 

Relevant professional or academic 

experience or legal practice. 

Relevant training or experience in 

arbitration or other forms of dispute 

resolution. 

Evaluation of applications for 

inclusion on the list of arbitrators is 

undertaken by the DOC and the Swiss 

Administration. Selected applicants 

remain on the list for a period of 3 years, 

absent exceptional circumstances, 

change in eligibility, or for cause, 

renewable for one additional period of 

3 years. 

The DOC selected the International 

Centre for Dispute Resolution-American 

Arbitration Association (ICDR–AAA) as 

administrator for Privacy Shield 

arbitrations brought under either the 

Swiss-U.S. or EU-U.S. Privacy Shield 

Frameworks.b Among other things, the 

ICDR–AAA facilitates arbitrator fee 

arrangements, including the collection 

and timely payment of arbitrator fees 

and other expenses. Arbitrators are 

expected to commit their time and effort 

when included on the supplemental 

Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield List of 

Arbitrators and to take reasonable steps 

to minimize the costs or fees of the 

arbitration. 

Arbitrators are subject to a code of 

conduct consistent with Annex I of the 

Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework 

and generally accepted ethical standards 

for arbitrators. The DOC and the Swiss 

Administration agreed to adopt the 

arbitral procedures adopted under the 

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework to 

govern the arbitral proceedings, subject 

to considerations identified in Annex I 

of the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield 

Framework, including that materials 

submitted to arbitrators will be treated 

confidentially and will only be used in 

connection with the arbitration. For 

more information, please visit https://

www.privacyshield.gov/article?id=GArbitration-Procedures where you can 

find information on the arbitration 

procedures. (Please note that the 

Arbitration procedures apply to both the 

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and 

the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield 

Framework.)

Results of the Expedited First Sunset 

Review of the Countervailing Duty 

Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of this sunset 

review, the Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) finds that revocation of the 

countervailing duty order would be 

likely to lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of a countervailable subsidy 

at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final 

Results of Review’’ section of this 

notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 11, 2013, Commerce 

published its countervailing duty order 

on drawn stainless steel sinks from 

China.1 On March 5, 2018, Commerce 

published the notice of initiation of the 

first sunset review of the countervailing 

duty order on drawn stainless steel 

sinks from China pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act.2 On March 16, 2018, 

Commerce received a notice of intent to 

participate from Elkay Manufacturing 

Company (Elkay), a domestic interested 

party, within the deadline specified in 

19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3 Elkay claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of 

stainless steel sinks in the United States. 

On April 2, 2018, Commerce received 

an adequate substantive response to the 

notice of initiation from Elkay within 

the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).4 We received no 

substantive responses from respondent 

interested parties with respect to the 

order covered by this sunset review. 

On April 10, 2018, Commerce notified 

the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (ITC) that it did not receive 

an adequate substantive response from 

respondent interested parties.5 As a 

result, pursuant to 751(c)(3)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), 

Commerce conducted an expedited 

(120-day) sunset review of the 

countervailing duty order on drawn 

stainless steel sinks from China. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

includes drawn stainless steel sinks 

with single or multiple drawn bowls, 

with or without drain boards, whether 

finished or unfinished, regardless of 

type of finish, gauge, or grade of 

stainless steel. Mounting clips, 

fasteners, seals, and sound-deadening 

pads are also covered by the scope of 

this order if they are included within 

the sales price of the drawn stainless 

steel sinks.6 For purposes of this scope 

definition, the term ‘‘drawn’’ refers to a 

manufacturing process using metal 

forming technology to produce a smooth 

basin with seamless, smooth, and 

rounded corners. Drawn stainless steel 

sinks are available in various shapes 

and configurations and may be 

described in a number of ways 

including flush mount, top mount, or 

undermount (to indicate the attachment 

relative to the countertop). Stainless 

steel sinks with multiple drawn bowls 

that are joined through a welding 

operation to form one unit are covered 

by the scope of the order. Drawn 

stainless steel sinks are covered by the 

scope of the order whether or not they 

are sold in conjunction with non-subject 

accessories such as faucets (whether 

attached or unattached), strainers, 

strainer sets, rinsing baskets, bottom 

grids, or other accessories. 

Excluded from the scope of the order 

are stainless steel sinks with fabricated 

bowls. Fabricated bowls do not have 

seamless corners, but rather are made by 

notching and bending the stainless steel, 

and then welding and finishing the 

vertical corners to form the bowls. 

Stainless steel sinks with fabricated 

bowls may sometimes be referred to as 

‘‘zero radius’’ or ‘‘near zero radius’’ 

sinks. The products covered by this 

order are currently classified in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) under statistical 

reporting number 7324.10.0000 and 

7324.10.0010. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of the 

order is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this sunset review 

are addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum,7 which is hereby 

adopted by this notice. The issues 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum are the likelihood of 

continuation or recurrence of a 

countervailable subsidy and the net 

countervailable subsidy likely to prevail 

if the order were revoked. The Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov, and to all in the 

Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of 

the main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

on the internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn. The signed 

Issues and Decision Memorandum and 

the electronic version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Final Results of Review 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 

752(b) of the Act, Commerce determines 

that revocation of the countervailing 

duty order on drawn stainless steel 

sinks from China would be likely to lead 

to the continuation or recurrence of a
