Abstract:

The Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA) provides a set of uniform minimum safeguards for the protection of data gathered for exclusively statistical purposes under a pledge of confidentiality. Federal agencies have long sought the kind of strong confidentiality protection that CIPSEA offers. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) chartered an interagency team to draft implementation guidance for this law. We will provide an overview of the proposed implementation guidance on CIPSEA and discuss some of the requirements for agencies using CIPSEA for their collections. Specifically, the proposed guidance includes requirements for agencies collecting information protected under CIPSEA, minimum standards for safeguarding confidential information, and provisions related to the designation of agents. We will also discuss some of the ways that this law has begun to affect practices and procedures at federal agencies.
