completion of the administrative 

review, Commerce shall determine, and 

CBP shall assess, countervailing duties 

on all appropriate entries covered by 

this review. Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Instructions 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also 

intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 

deposits of estimated countervailing 

duties in the amount shown above for 

Yama, on shipments of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this review. For all nonreviewed firms, Commerce will instruct 

CBP to continue to collect cash deposits 

at the most recent company-specific or 

all-others rate applicable to the 

company, as appropriate. Accordingly, 

the cash deposit requirements that will 

be applied to companies covered by this 

order, but not examined in this 

administrative review, are those 

established in the most recently 

completed segment of the proceeding 

for each company. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield 

Framework was designed by the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Department) 

and the Swiss Administration 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 Administration deemed the 

Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework 

adequate to enable data transfers under 

Swiss law, and on April 12, 2017, the 

Department began accepting selfcertifications from U.S. companies to 

join the program (82 FR 16375; April 12, 

2017). 

On September 8, 2020 the Federal 

Data Protection and Information 

Commissioner (FDPIC) of Switzerland 

issued an opinion concluding that the 

Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework 

does not provide an adequate level of 

protection for data transfers from 

Switzerland to the United States 

pursuant to Switzerland’s Federal Act 

on Data Protection (FADP). As a result 

of that opinion, organizations wishing to 

rely on the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield to 

transfer personal data from Switzerland 

to the United States should seek 

guidance from the FDPIC or legal 

counsel. That opinion does not relieve 

participants in the Swiss-U.S. Privacy 

Shield of their obligations under the 

Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. 

The Department continues to administer 

the Privacy Shield program while those

1On July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the 

European Union (CJEU) issued a judgment 

declaring as ‘‘invalid’’ the European Commission’s 

decision on the adequacy of the protection provided 

by the EU–U.S. Privacy Shield and as a result the 

EU–U.S. Privacy Shield Framework is no longer a 

valid mechanism to comply with EU data 

protection requirements when transferring personal 

data from the European Union to the United States. 

That judgment does not relieve participants in the 

EU–U.S. Privacy Shield of their obligations under 

the EU–U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. The 

Department and the Commission are discussing the 

potential for an enhanced EU–U.S. Privacy Shield 

Framework to comply with the July 16, 2020 

judgment by the CJEU. The Department continues 

to administer the Privacy Shield program while 

those discussions proceed. For more information on 

the Privacy Shield, visit https://

www.privacyshield.gov/welcome. 

discussions proceed. For more 

information on the Privacy Shield, visit 

https://www.privacyshield.gov/

welcome. 

As described in Annex I of the SwissU.S. Privacy Shield Framework, 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 individualspecific, 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 parties will select 

the arbitrators from the list of arbitrators 

described below. 

The Department and the Swiss 

Administration seek to maintain a list of 

up to five arbitrators to supplement the 

list of arbitrators developed under the 

EU–U.S. Privacy Shield Framework.1 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 Department previously requested 

and obtained approval of this 

information collection (OMB Control 

No. 0625–0278), which expires on 10/ 

31/2021, 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. 

To be considered for inclusion on the 

Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Supplemental 

List of Arbitrators, eligible individuals 

will be 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 will 

be undertaken by the Department and 

the Swiss Administration. Selected 

applicants will remain on the list for a 

period of three years, absent exceptional 

circumstances; change in eligibility, or 

for cause, renewable for one additional 

period of three years. 

The Department selected the 

International Centre for Dispute 

Resolution-American Arbitration 

Association (ICDR–AAA) as 

administrator for Privacy Shield 

arbitrations brought under either the 

EU–U.S. Privacy Shield Framework or 

the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield 

Framework. 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 Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield 

Supplemental 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 Department and the 

Swiss Administration agreed to adopt 

an existing, well-established set of U.S. 

arbitral procedures 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)
