OMB Issues E-Government Act Guidance
On June 15, 2007, the Office of Management and Budget published guidance implementing Title V of the E-Government Act: the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA). The CIPSEA provides a uniform statutory scheme for federal agencies’ protection and sharing of confidential statistical information, such as surveys, censuses, data analyses, modeling, and sample design. The purpose of the OMB guidance is to inform agencies about the requirements for using CIPSEA and to clarify the circumstances under which CIPSEA can be used.
