Report of Federal Employment and Wages As per OMB instruction, this
single ICR is being submitted to update the CIPSEA confidentiality
pledges for all above listed packages and will not otherwise affect
the content, scope, burden, or the current expiration dates of any
of these packages.
Emergency clearance
procedures are being used to obtain PRA clearance from OMB for the
referenced ICRs, in order to implement revised CIPSEA pledge
language that is resulting from the mandatory implementation of
Einstein monitoring by the Department of Homeland Security. More
specifically, the Cybersecurity Act of 2015 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 CIPSEA pledge to notify respondents of the Einstein
monitoring. The BLS is required to implement Einstein by December
18, 2016, and protect DOL IT systems from potential intrusion, in
accordance with the law. See 44 U.S.C. § 3507(j) and 5 C.F.R. §
1320.13.
