Revision of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Confidentiality Pledges under Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) and Education Sciences Reform
New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
Under 44 U.S.C. 3506(e), and 44 U.S.C. 3501 (note) , the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is announcing revisions to the confidentiality pledge(s) it provides to its respondents under the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 (note)) (CIPSEA) and under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA 2002). These revisions are required by the passage and implementation of provisions of the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015 (6 U.S.C. §151), which permits and requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to provide Federal civilian agenciesâ information technology systems with cybersecurity protection for their Internet traffic.
Emergency clearance procedures are being used to obtain Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance from OMB for the referenced Information Collection Requests (ICRs), in order to implement revised pledge language that is resulting from the mandatory implementation of Einstein monitoring by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). More specifically, the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015 (codified in relevant part at 6 U.S.C. § 151), mandates that federal information systems be protected from malicious activities through cybersecurity screening of transmitted data. Approval of this ICR using emergency clearance procedures is necessary to implement a change to the confidentiality pledge to notify respondents of the Einstein monitoring.
