SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MCC is giving notice of a system of records
pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) for the MCC
Evidence Platform. This platform is used to disseminate the data and
documentation produced by MCC-funded data activities. The records
information collected is required for researchers to obtain or retain a
benefit of accessing MCC-funded data managed and shared through a
public-facing platform by University of Michigan's Interagency
Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR). To manage access
to specific data that must be protected to maintain data respondent
confidentiality, ICPSR acts as MCC's data steward. The information
collection is used by ICPSR to review and vet data users requesting
access to restricted-use data. The information collected includes: (i)
Restricted Data Use Agreement (RDUA) signed by both the data user and a
representative of their institution; (ii) Documentation of
Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval or exemption; (iii) research
proposal; (iv) name and contact information of all researchers at the
institution who will have access to the data; (v) list of data sets
requested and why needed; and (vi) CV/Resume/Biosketch for each user
that will access the restricted-use data.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
MCC-Evidence Platform. MCC-003.
SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
Unclassified.
SYSTEM LOCATION:
Millennium Challenge Corporation--1099 Fourteenth Street NW, Suite
700, Washington, DC 20005-3550

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
22 U.S.C. 7705, Chapter 84--Millennium Challenge.
PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:
The system will:
<bullet> Store and share de-identified data for public-use--To
directly replace the MCC Evaluation Catalog, the platform is the
mechanism by which MCC shares data and documentation that is de-
identified by MCC contractors, reviewed for clearance by the MCC
Disclosure Review Board (DRB), and posted to the new platform.
<bullet> Store and share restricted-access data--Given promises of
confidentiality and MCC's commitments to protecting the privacy of data
activity participants, some data cannot be de-identified in a way that
reduces re-identification risk and retains the usability of the data
for accountability and learning objectives. In cases where limited data
sharing is facilitated by the informed consent process, this data can
be prepared for sharing through a restricted-access mechanism which
carefully protects access to data for specific statistical analysis.
The platform is the mechanism by which MCC shares restricted-access
data through an ICPSR-managed Virtual Data Enclave (VDE) following
preparation by MCC contractors, review by the MCC DRB, and deposit of
the restricted-access data with ICPSR.
<bullet> Collects:
(i) Restricted Data Use Agreement (RDUA) signed by both the data
user and a representative of their institution;
(ii) Documentation of Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval or
exemption;
(iii) Research proposal;
(iv) Name and contact information of all researchers at the
institution who will have access to the data;
(v) List of data sets requested and why needed; and
(vi) CV/Resume/Biosketch--defining the qualifications the
individual has to lead statistical analysis of the proposed research
analysis.

Modernization Act of 2014; OMB Circular A-130, Management of Federal
