Commerce received a timely notice of
intent to participate in this sunset

domestic interested party) within 15

Government of China, nor was a hearing
requested. On January 25, 2023,
Commerce notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission that it
did not receive an adequate substantive
response from other interested parties.6
As a result, in accordance with section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR

conducted an expedited, i.e., 120-day,

metal tool chests and tool cabinets, with
drawers, from China. The scope covers

stainless steel and/or other metals;
(2) two or more drawers for storage in
each individual unit;
(3) a width (side to side) exceeding 15
inches for side cabinets and exceeding
21 inches for all other individual units
but not exceeding 60 inches;

I. Abstract
The United States, the European
Union (EU), the United Kingdom (UK),
and Switzerland share a commitment to
enhancing privacy protection, the rule
of law, and a recognition of the
importance of transatlantic data flows to
our respective citizens, economies, and
societies, but take different approaches
to doing so. Given those differences, the
Department of Commerce (DOC)
developed the EU-U.S. Data Privacy
Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK
Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy
Framework (UK Extension to the EUU.S. DPF), and the Swiss-U.S. Data
Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) in
consultation with the European
Commission, the UK Government, the
Swiss Federal Administration, industry,
and other stakeholders. These
arrangements were respectively
developed to provide U.S. organizations
reliable mechanisms for personal data
transfers to the United States from the
European Union, the United Kingdom,

and Switzerland while ensuring data
protection that is consistent with EU,
UK, and Swiss law.
The DOC is issuing the EU-U.S. DPF
Principles and the Swiss-U.S. DPF
Principles, including the respective sets
of Supplemental Principles (collectively
the Principles) and Annex I of the
Principles, as well as the UK Extension
to the EU-U.S. DPF under its statutory
authority to foster, promote, and
develop international commerce (15
U.S.C. 1512). The International Trade
Administration (ITA) will administer
and supervise the Data Privacy
Framework program, including
maintaining and making publicly
available the Data Privacy Framework
List, an authoritative list of U.S.
organizations that have self-certified to
the DOC and declared their commitment
to adhere to the Principles pursuant to
the EU-U.S. DPF and, as applicable, the
UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and/
or the Swiss-U.S. DPF. On the basis of
the Principles, Executive Order 14086,
28 CFR part 201, and accompanying
letters and materials, including ITA’s
commitments regarding the
administration and supervision of the
Data Privacy Framework program, it is
the DOC’s expectation that the European
Commission, the UK Government, and
the Swiss Federal Administration will
respectively recognize the adequacy of
the protection provided by the EU-U.S.
DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S.
DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF thereby
enabling personal data transfers from
each respective jurisdiction to U.S.
organizations participating in the
relevant part of the Data Privacy
Framework program. The EU-U.S. DPF,
