Title:	An Update on Statistical Disclosure Avoidance Methodologies for Tabular and Microdata Files

Keywords:	Confidentiality ; Disclosure Avoidance ; Disclosure Risk
Abstract:	In 1994, the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology (FCSM) released Statistical Policy Working Paper No. 22, "Report on Statistical Disclosure Limitation Methodology." This working paper has been a valuable resource and educational tool for statisticians working in the field of data confidentiality. There has been a great deal of research since 1994 on developing new methodologies for protecting the confidentiality of survey responses, for assessing the risk of disclosure from proposed data releases, and for improving the analytical properties of "protected" tabular data and microdata files. This paper provides an overview of the work by the Confidentiality and Data Access Committee, a subcommittee of the FCSM, and the revisions made to Statistical Working Paper No. 22. There is a brief description of the updates to the working paper and some of the new developments throughout the past 10 years in methodologies that may be applied to either tabular or microdata files.
