Data Security Requirements for Accessing Confidential Data

OMB 0536-0079 · USDA/ERS.

OMB 0536-0079

When an application for confidential data is approved through the SAP Portal, ERS will collect information to fulfill its data security requirements. This is a required step before providing the individual with access to restricted use microdata for the purpose of evidence building. ERS’s data security agreements and other paperwork, along with the corresponding security protocols, allow ERS to maintain careful controls on confidentiality and privacy, as required by law. ERS’s collection of data security information will occur outside of the SAP Portal.

The latest form for Data Security Requirements for Accessing Confidential Data expires 2027-03-31 and is listed under ICR 202512-0536-001.
