provided under 13 U.S.C. § 23c.
The purpose for collecting this information is to document the granting of the Special Sworn Status
designation to temporary Census Bureau employees (contractors) and other individuals who require
workrelated access to information protected under Title 13 U.S.C. The information collected includes
name, date of birth, place of birth, local home address, and present employer’s name and address. The
form also collects a signed affidavit of non-disclosure that obligates individuals to accept responsibility
for keeping all Title 13 data confidential.
Disclosure of the information provided to us is permitted under the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. Section

EXPLANATION OF SPECIAL SWORN STATUS
(BC-1759)
Part A:

Completed by the special sworn/contractor. Contractors who are not U.S. citizens
should bring INS documentation with them.

Part B:

Signed by the special sworn/contractor in the presence of a witness. The witness
should be either a Census Bureau employee authorized by the Security Office or a
notary public.
Note: Signature for Part B of the BC-1759 is a Human Resources Division
requirement. Individuals working as contractors or volunteers are not paid
employees of the U.S. Census Bureau; therefore, they do not receive the benefits
of the Bureau’s payroll system. Volunteers receive no compensation. Contractors
are paid through a contractual agreement with the Bureau’s procurement office or
sponsoring division.

Part C:

Signed by the special sworn/contractor in the presence of either a Census Bureau
employee authorized to administer the oath of non-disclosure or a notary public.
Note: Special sworn/contractors who refuse to sign Part C will not be allowed to
have access to Census Bureau facilities or information.

Part D:

Signed by the authorized Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) or
the sponsoring Division Chief.
Note: Part D MUST be completed before the Security Office will initiate any
action on the security processing or issuance of a building pass. Special Access
includes 24-hour access and proxy card access, which require additional
documentation. For further information, contact the Security Office. The authorized
signature in Part D indicates that the COTR or Division Chief is responsible for the
actions of the special sworn/ contractor.

Renewals: Contractors complete Part A of BC-1759, and COTR or Division Chief completes
Part D. Contractor brings completed form to Security Office for approval.
