With respect to covered entities and service providers, to the extent that Federal law authorizes the Digital Privacy Agency and another Federal agency to enforce a Federal privacy law, the head of the other Federal agency shall coordinate with the Director of the Digital Privacy Agency to promote consistent enforcement of this Act and the other Federal privacy law. Any Federal agency authorized to enforce Federal privacy laws may recommend in writing to the Digital Privacy Agency that the Digital Privacy Agency initiate an enforcement proceeding, as the Digital Privacy Agency is authorized by that Federal privacy law or by this Act.
The Digital Privacy Agency shall have all powers and duties under the Federal privacy laws to prescribe rules, issue guidelines, or to conduct studies or issue reports mandated by such laws, that were vested in the Commission on the effective date of this Act. The authority of the Commission under Federal privacy laws to prescribe rules, issue guidelines, or conduct a study or issue a report mandated under such law shall be transferred to the Digital Privacy Agency on the effective date of this Act.
The Digital Privacy Agency may enforce a rule prescribed by the Commission under— Federal privacy laws; or the Federal Trade Commission Act ( 15 U.S.C. 41 et seq. ) related to unfair or deceptive acts or practices relating to privacy, information security, identity theft, data abuses, and related matters. Any employee of the Commission employed in a division, bureau, office, or other subdivision of the Commission with the primary responsibility of administering, investigating, or enforcing Federal privacy laws or applications of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( 15 U.S.C. 41 et seq. ) related to unfair or deceptive acts or practices relating to privacy, information security, identity theft, data abuses, and related matters shall be transferred to the Digital Privacy Agency.
Such employee shall be provided with compensation and benefits not less than the equivalent of compensation and benefits provided to such employee on the date of enactment of this Act or compensation and benefits provided to an employee of the Digital Privacy Agency in comparable position with comparable experience. Except as described in this section, no provision of this Act shall be construed as modifying, limiting, or otherwise affecting the operation of any provision of Federal law, or otherwise affecting the authority of any Federal agency under a Federal privacy law or any other law, including the ability of such Federal agency to promulgate regulations and enforce Federal privacy laws.
