SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Information Collection: MCC Restricted Data Use
Application.
OMB Control Number: Not assigned.
Type of Review: A new information collection.
Affected Public: The likely respondents are expected to be
researchers, including university and college faculty and students, who
will use this data for statistical analysis.
Estimated Number of Respondents: Approximately 50 new respondents
are expected annually to access MCC-funded restricted data.
Frequency: One application for each restricted data package for
which access is requested by a respondent.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 90 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4,500 hours total.
Respondents' Obligation: Voluntary reply.
Abstract: MCC is committed to providing public access to high-value
data collected as part of the development, implementation, and
evaluation of MCC-funded assistance programs, while being equally
committed to protecting the confidentiality of individuals and
organizations from which the data are collected. To achieve these twin
aims, MCC publishes de-identified public use files of microdata on its
website through the MCC Evaluation Catalog. In addition, MCC plans to
make restricted data files available in cases where the de-
identification efforts for public use files would significantly impair
the analytic potential of the data, or where the data contain highly
sensitive information that cannot be shared as a public-use file.
However, access to restricted data will only be granted to users who
meet eligibility criteria and agree to terms of access established by
MCC, including agreeing to follow strict requirements for maintaining
data confidentiality. The MCC Restricted Data Use Application collects
information that will be used by MCC and its data steward, the
University of Michigan's Interagency Consortium for Political and
Social Research (ICPSR), to evaluate whether respondents qualify for
access to MCC's restricted data. The application, which will be
submitted electronically, requires the provision of specific
information by the respondent, such as (i) the name, contact
information, and CV/Resume/Biosketch for each person that will access
the restricted data, (ii) a research proposal describing the need for
the data and how it will be used, (iii) evidence of Institutional
Review Board approval or exemption of the research proposal, and (iv) a
signed restricted data use agreement.
