The U.S. Constitution requires only that the decennial census be a population count. Since the first census in 1790, however, the need for useful information about the United States' population and economy became increasingly evident. The decennial census steadily expanded throughout the nineteenth century. By the turn of the century, the demographic, agricultural, and economic segments of the decennial census collected information on hundreds of topics. The work of processing these data kept the temporary Census Office open for almost all the decades following the 1880 and 1890 censuses. Recognizing the growing complexity of the decennial census, Congress enacted legislation creating a permanent Census Office within the Department of the Interior on March 6, 1902. On July 1, 1902, the U.S. Census Bureau officially "opened its doors" under the leadership of William Rush Merriam. In 1903, the Census Office was moved to the newly created Department of Commerce and Labor. It remained within Commerce when Commerce and Labor split into separate departments in 1913. For a summary history of the Census Bureau, see Factfinder for the Nation: History and Organization [PDF 159KB].For a visual chronology of the history of the census from 1790 to the present, see the Timeline of Census History [10.8MB BMP].

The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EUU.S. Data Privacy Framework (UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF), and the Swiss-U.S.Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) were respectively developed in furtherance of transatlantic commerce by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission, the UK Government, and the Swiss Federal Administration to provide U.S. organizations with reliable mechanisms for personal data transfers to the United States from the European Union / European Economic Area, the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar), and Switzerland while ensuring data protection that is consistent with EU, UK, and Swiss law. The Data Privacy Framework (DPF) Program, which is administered by the International Trade Administration (ITA) within the U.S. Department of Commerce, enables eligible U.S.-based organizations to self-certify their compliance 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. To participate in the DPF Program, a U.S.-based organization is required to self-certify to the ITA via the Department's DPF Program website (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/) and publicly commit to comply with the DPF Principles. While the decision by an eligible U.S.-based organization to self-certify its compliance pursuant to and participate in the relevant part(s) of the DPF Program is voluntary, effective compliance upon self-certification is compulsory. Once such an organization self-certifies to the ITA and publicly declares its commitment to adhere to the DPF Principles that commitment is enforceable under U.S. law

Dumping occurs when foreign producers sell products in the United States at a cost lower than the sale price and lower than the cost of production in their home market. Countervailable subsidies occur when producers provide financial assistance, production perks, and the production of specific goods providing benefit to foreign governments. Subsidies can be cash payments, credits against taxes and loans with terms that are not aligned with market conditions. In turn, the products are sold to other markets at a higher rate than the worth of the good, which can be described as a countervailed good. Disruption caused by unfair foreign pricing and government subsidiaries affects the free flow of goods for Americans in the global marketplace. The International Trade Administration of the Department of Commerce works to enforce compliance, laws, and agreements to protect US domestic businesses. Administration Antidumping and Countervailing Duties (AD/CVD) efforts include understanding trades laws and how they relate to unfair dumping and foreign government subsidies, filing petitions that require an investigation into unfairly traded goods and important, ensuring petitions are compliant and further review public data and information.
