IRS Notice 2024-78 & IRS Notice 2023-11
Dear European Data Protection Board,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
All memos, communications and documents related to "IRS Notice 2024-78" (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-24-78...). I additionally request access to all memos, communications, and documents related to "IRS Notice 2023-11" (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-23-11...).
As this relates to FATCA, which has a substantial data protection impact and which has been a subject of discussion at the EDPB, there is a reasonable likelihood that documents concerning these two notices may exist at the EDPB.
Yours faithfully,
Nicholas Lee
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your message and for your interest in data protection. We
will look into your request and get back to you within due time.
Kind regards,
The EDPB Secretariat

Dear correspondent,
We refer to your request for access to documents, registered on 05/05/2025
under reference number 2025-11.
Your application is currently being handled. However, we will not be in a
position to complete the handling of your application within the time
limit of 15 working days, which expires today (26/05/2025).
An extended time limit is needed, as your application covers a large
amount of documents that need to be identified and assessed.
Therefore, we have to extend the time limit for another 15 working days in
accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding
public access to documents. The new deadline expires on 19/06/2025.
We apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours sincerely,
The EDPB Secretariat
On behalf of
Irene Loizidou-Nicolaidou, deputy chair of the EDPB
