Under Title 13 of the U.S. Code, the U.S. Census Bureau is required to release information from its data collection to the public, while also promising to protect the confidentiality of individual respondents. Prior to releasing any data product to the public, we must apply various disclosure limitation procedures and review these to ensure that the data are adequately protected. In most cases, products for public release will also need review and approval from the Census Bureau's Disclosure Review Board (DRB). Many individuals know what the DRB is, and how they operate, but they are not aware of the challenges the DRB faces when approving certain data products. This paper looks to fill that void. We provide detailed examples and discuss many of these challenges. In doing so, we give an inside look at how the DRB overcomes these issues to ensure that the products we approve are safe for public release.
