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 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 

Department of Commerce (DOC) 

repeatedly consulted with U.S. 

organizations affected by the European 

Directive and interested nongovernment organizations. On July 26, 

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 26, 2000, the 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 Department of 

Commerce 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 May 12, 2010, 2,200 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 

citizens and 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 EU. 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 27 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 

(Form ITA–4149P) to the DOC 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 EU 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 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 196 / Tuesday, October 12, 2010 / Notices 62503 

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 DOC 

and the European Commission to 

determine if organizations are signing 

up to the list. This list is updated on a 

regular basis. 

II. Method of Collection 

The self-certification form is available 

via the Internet at http://export.gov/

organizations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

United States (U.S.) participation in 

the Inter-American Tropical Tuna 

Commission (IATTC) results in certain 

recordkeeping requirements for U.S. 

fishermen who fish in the IATTC’s area 

of management responsibility. These 

fishermen must maintain a log of all 

operations conducted from the fishing 

vessel, including the date, noon 

position, and the tonnage of fish aboard 

the vessel, by species. The logbook form 

provided by the IATTC is universally 

used by U.S. fishermen to meet this 

recordkeeping requirement. The 

information in the logbooks includes 

areas and times of operation and catch 

and effort by area. Logbook data are 

used in stock assessments and other 

research concerning the fishery. If the 

data were not collected or if erroneous 

data were provided, the IATTC 

assessments would likely be incorrect 

and there would be an increased risk of 

overfishing or inadequate management 

of the fishery. 

II. Method of Collection 

Vessel operators maintain bridge logs 

on a daily basis, and the forms are either 

mailed to the IATTC or to National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) at the 

completion of each trip. The data are 

processed and maintained as 

confidential by the IATTC. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0148. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households, business or other for profit 

organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

20. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 129. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to
