Abstract

The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis within the U.S. Department of Commerce invite the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on a proposed information collection. The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis plan to collect information from the public to fulfill their data security requirements when providing access to restricted use microdata for the purpose of evidence building. The U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis's data security agreements and other paperwork along with the corresponding security protocols allow the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis to maintain careful controls on confidentiality and privacy, as required by law. The purpose of this notice is to allow for 60 days of public comment on the proposed data security information collection, prior to submission of the information collection request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
