collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
Overview of this information collection:

[[Page 28614]]
2. Title of the Form/Collection: Data Security Requirements for
Accessing Restricted Data.

Abstract: The Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of

local, and Tribal governments, researchers, and other individuals, as
appropriate, may apply to access confidential data assets held by a
federal statistical agency or unit for the purposes of developing
evidence. BJS will collect some information to meet its data security
requirements through the SAP Portal to review an application for
restricted (confidential) microdata. Once an application for restricted
data is approved through the SAP Portal, BJS will collect additional
information to complete its data security requirements.

6. Total Estimated Number of Responses: 55.
7. Time per Response: 3 hours.
