Title: How a U.S. Federal Statistical Agency Responded to CIPSEA

Abstract:

With the passage of the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) in December 2002, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) began the complex task of implementing CIPSEA across its statistical programs. Many issues face a statistical agency immediately following the passage of a sweeping piece of legislation like the CIPSEA. BLS has worked to incorporate the new law into every aspect of its operations, ranging from data collection to employee training to reworking some aspects of its contractual relations with state data collection agencies. Managing all of the necessary changes and communicating them to BLS employees and agents has been challenging. This presentation will highlight what changes needed to occur at BLS as a result of CIPSEA and how the agency has handled such changes.
