Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA 2002)
NCES sample surveys are governed by additional laws, one of which is the Education Sciences Reform Act
of 2002 (ESRA 2002) (20 U.S.C. §9573). Under ESRA 2002, the information respondents provide can be
seen only by statistical agency personnel or their sworn agents, and may not be disclosed, or used, in
identifiable form for any other purpose, except in the case of an authorized investigation or prosecution of
an offense concerning national or international terrorism. Under ESRA 2002, the Attorney General is
permitted to petition a court of competent jurisdiction for an ex parte order requiring the Secretary of
Education to provide data relevant to an authorized investigation or prosecution of an offense concerning
national or international terrorism. Thus, ESRA 2002 affords many of the same protections as CIPSEA,
except as noted previously, in the case of an authorized investigation concerning national or international
terrorism. Under ESRA 2002, the following is the revised statistical confidentiality pledge for applicable
NCES data collections, with the new line added to address the new cybersecurity monitoring activities
bolded for reference only:
All of the information you provide may be used only for statistical purposes and may not be
disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law (20 U.S.C.
§9573 and 6 U.S.C. §151)
The following listing shows the current NCES Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) OMB numbers and
information collection titles whose ESRA 2002 confidentiality pledge will change to reflect the statutory
implementation of DHS' Einstein 3A monitoring for cybersecurity protection purposes:
