[Attorney General Order No. 4381-2019]


Judicial Redress Act of 2015; Attorney General Designations

AGENCY: Office of the Attorney General; United States Department of 
Justice.

ACTION: Notice of designation by the Attorney General of a ``covered 
country.''

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Judicial Redress Act of 2015, relating 
to the extension of certain Privacy Act remedies to citizens of 
designated countries, notice is given that the Attorney General has 
designated the United Kingdom as a ``covered country.''

DATES: The designation herein is effective on April 1, 2018, the date 
the U.S.-EU Data Protection and Privacy Agreement becomes applicable to 
the United Kingdom.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas Burrows, Associate Director, 
Office of International Affairs, Criminal Division, United States 
Department of Justice, 1301 New York Avenue, Suite 900, Washington, DC 
20005, 202-514-0080.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 1, 2017, an executive agreement 
entered into force between the United States (``U.S.'') and the 
European Union (``EU'') (collectively, ``Parties'') for the protection 
of personal information relating to the prevention, investigation, 
detection, and prosecution of criminal offenses. The agreement, 
commonly known in the United States as the Data Protection and Privacy 
Agreement (``DPPA''), establishes a set of protections that the Parties 
are to apply to personal information exchanged for the purpose of 
preventing, detecting, investigating, or prosecuting criminal offenses. 
Article 19 of the DPPA establishes an obligation for the Parties to 
provide, in their domestic law, specific judicial redress rights to 
each other's citizens. The Judicial Redress Act, Public Law 114-126, 
130 Stat. 282 (5 U.S.C. 552a note), is implementing legislation for 
Article 19.
    Under Article 27 of the DPPA, Denmark, Ireland, and the United 
Kingdom (``UK'') are excluded from the Agreement unless the European 
Commission (``EC'') notifies the U.S. that those countries have decided 
that the Agreement shall apply to them. Such notice was provided for 
Ireland in January 2017, and it was designated at the same time as 25 
other EU members.
    On March 9, 2018, the EC notified the U.S. that the DPPA shall 
apply to the UK as of April 1, 2018. The U.S., under the terms of the 
DPPA, is therefore required to provide certain judicial redress rights 
to citizens of the UK as of April 1, 2018.
