This has really kinda strayed off-topic, Lets get back on track and work with what we know.

Privacy shield is based on the requirement that EU citizens will be-afforded the same protections as GDPR or till it comes into force Directive 95/46/EC in the united states and that their data will be safeguarded.

PPD28 effectively enacts this before laws are put in place, various acts due to come into force, supersede this as of 1 Feb

What this EO does is remove the protections of PPD28, which will be defunct as of 1 Feb anyway.

Privacy Shield is based on Parts of several Federal Laws that have been passed by the senate and as such are beyond the powers of the executive branch alone.

Mentioned in the EU Equivalency Determination are:-

42 U.S.C. § 2000ee et seq

U.S. SAFE WEB Act - 15 U.S.C. § 46(j)(3)

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (‘COPPA’)

The FTC Act - 15 U.S.C. § 45(a)

the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (‘FACTA’),

15 U.S.C. § 45(l); 16 C.F.R. § 1.98(c)

DOT 49 U.S.C. 41712

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (50 U.S.C. § 1801 et seq.) (FISA),

Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 204

Section 702 was passed as part of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008

Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015
