Under 44
U.S.C. 3506(e), and 44 U.S.C. 3501
(note), EIA is revising 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). These revisions are required
by provisions of the Federal
Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015
(Pub. L. 114–11, Division N, Title II,
Subtitle B, Sec. 223), which permit and
require the Secretary of the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide
Federal civilian agencies’ information
technology systems with cybersecurity
protection for their Internet traffic.
Federal statistics provide key
information that the Nation uses to
measure its performance and make
informed choices about budgets,
employment, health, investments, taxes,
and a host of other significant topics.
The overwhelming majority of Federal
surveys are conducted on a voluntary
basis. Respondents, ranging from
businesses to households to institutions,
may choose whether or not to provide
the requested information. Many of the
most valuable Federal statistics come
from surveys that ask for highly
sensitive information such as

proprietary business data from
companies or particularly personal
information or practices from
individuals. Strong and trusted
confidentiality and exclusively
statistical use pledges under the
Confidential Information Protection and
Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) and
similar statistical confidentiality
pledges are effective and necessary in
honoring the trust that businesses,
individuals, and institutions, by their
responses, place in statistical agencies.
Under CIPSEA and similar statistical
confidentiality protection statutes, many
Federal statistical agencies make
statutory pledges that the information
respondents provide will be seen only
by statistical agency personnel or their
sworn agents, and will be used only for
statistical purposes. CIPSEA and similar
statutes protect the confidentiality of
information that agencies collect solely
for statistical purposes and under a
pledge of confidentiality. These acts
protect such statistical information from
administrative, law enforcement,
taxation, regulatory, or any other nonstatistical use and immunize the
information submitted to statistical
agencies from legal process. Moreover,
many of these statutes carry criminal
penalties of a Class E felony (fines up to
$250,000, or up to five years in prison,
or both) for conviction of a knowing and
willful unauthorized disclosure of
covered information.
As part of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2016
signed on December 17, 2015, the
Congress included the Federal
Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015

Subtitle B, Sec. 223). This Act, among
other provisions, permits and requires
DHS to provide Federal civilian
agencies’ information technology
systems with cybersecurity protection
for their Internet traffic. The technology
currently used to provide this protection
against cyber malware is known as
Einstein 3A; it electronically searches
Internet traffic in and out of Federal
civilian agencies in real time for
malware signatures.
When such a signature is found, the
Internet packets that contain the
malware signature are moved to a
secured area for further inspection by
DHS personnel. Because it is possible
that such packets entering or leaving a
statistical agency’s information
technology system may contain a small
portion of confidential statistical data,
statistical agencies can no longer
promise their respondents that their
responses will be seen only by statistical
agency personnel or their sworn agents.
However, they can promise, in
accordance with provisions of the
Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act
of 2015, that such monitoring can be
used only to protect information and
information systems from cybersecurity
risks, thereby, in effect, providing
stronger protection to the integrity of the
respondents’ submissions.
The DHS cybersecurity program’s
objective is to protect Federal civilian
information systems from malicious
malware attacks. The Federal statistical
system’s objective is to ensure that the
DHS Secretary performs those essential
duties in a manner that honors the
Government’s statutory promises to the
public to protect their confidential data.
Given that the Department of Homeland
Security is not a Federal statistical
agency, both DHS and the Federal
statistical system worked to balance
both objectives and achieve these
mutually reinforcing objectives.
Accordingly, DHS and Federal
statistical agencies, in cooperation with
their parent departments, developed a
Memorandum of Agreement for the
installation of Einstein 3A cybersecurity
protection technology to monitor their
Internet traffic. However, EIA’s current
CIPSEA statistical confidentiality pledge
promises that respondents’ data will be
seen only by statistical agency
personnel or their sworn agents. Since
it is possible that DHS personnel could
see some portion of those confidential
data in the course of examining the
suspicious Internet packets identified by
Einstein 3A sensors, EIA needs to revise
its confidentiality pledge to reflect this
process change.
Therefore, EIA is providing this notice
to alert the public of this revision in its
