/>iLast month, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration (“ITA”) published a notice indicating it is considering revisions to the fee schedule for the Data Privacy Framework Program and seeking public comment, the period for which is open until August 7, 2024. The Data Privacy Framework Program fee schedule was last updated in 2017. In the notice, the ITA outlined the following proposed updates to the cost recovery program “to support the operation of the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF”:
Single Framework
| Organization’s Annual Revenue | Original Fee Schedule | Revised Annual Fee Schedule |
| $0 to $5 million | $250 | $260 |
| Over $5 million to $25 million | $650 | $750 |
| Over $25 million to $500 million | $1,000 | $1,600 |
| Over $500 million to $5 billion | $2,500 | $4,130 |
| Over $5 billion | $3,250 | $5,530 |
Both Frameworks
| Organization’s Annual Revenue | Original Fee Schedule | Revised Annual Fee Schedule |
| $0 to $5 million | $375 | $390 |
| Over $5 million to $25 million | $975 | $1,125 |
| Over $25 million to $500 million | $1,500 | $2,400 |
| Over $500 million to $5 billion | $3,750 | $6,195 |
| Over $5 billion | $4,875 | $8,295 |
The notice clarifies that “Both frameworks” could refer to any of the following: the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF; or only the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF.
Instructions on how to submit comments are included in the notice. The revised fee schedule will become effective thirty days after the final version is published.
