(DOL) is announcing revisions to
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
confidentiality pledges provided to
respondents under the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act (44 U.S.C. 3501)
(CIPSEA). These revisions are required
by the passage and implementation of
provisions of the Federal Cybersecurity
Enhancement Act of 2015 (H.R. 2029,
Division N, Title II, Subtitle B, Sec.
223), that permit and require the
Secretary for the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) to provide
Federal civilian agencies’ information
technology systems with cybersecurity
protection for their Internet traffic. More
details on this announcement are
presented in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section below.
DATES: These revisions become effective
upon publication of this notice in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 to provide the
requested information. Many of the
most valuable Federal statistics come
from surveys that ask for highly
sensitive information such as
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:02 Nov 30, 2016
Jkt 241001
proprietary business data from
companies or particularly personal
information or practices from
individuals. Strong and trusted
confidentiality and exclusively
statistical use pledges under the 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 the 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. The 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 many legal processes.
Moreover, statutes like the CIPSEA 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 enacted the Federal
Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015
(H.R. 2029, Division N, Title II, Subtitle
B, Sec. 223). This Act, among other
provisions, requires the DHS to provide
Federal civilian agencies’ information
technology systems with cybersecurity
protection for their Internet traffic. 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 DHS is not a Federal
statistical agency, both DHS and the
Federal statistical system have been
successfully engaged in finding a way to
balance both objectives and achieve
these mutually reinforcing objectives.
As required by passage of the Federal
Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of
2015, the Federal statistical community
will implement DHS’ cybersecurity
protection program, called Einstein.
The technology currently used to
provide this protection against cyber
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

malware 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 shunted aside
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
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 security and
integrity of the respondents’
submissions.
Accordingly, DHS and Federal
statistical agencies, in cooperation with
their parent Departments, have
developed a Memorandum of
Agreement for the installation of
Einstein cybersecurity protection
technology to monitor their Internet
traffic.
The DOL is providing this notice to
alert the public in an efficient and
coordinated fashion that it is revising its
confidentiality pledge. Below is a listing
of the current numbers and information
collection titles for those BLS programs
whose confidentiality pledges will
change to reflect the statutory
implementation of DHS’ Einstein
monitoring for cybersecurity protection
purposes.
For the Information Collections listed

confidentiality pledges will be modified

II. Introduction
The NRC is considering issuance of
amendments to Renewed Facility

submitted its license amendment
request in accordance with section

Regulations (10 CFR), by letter dated
September 21, 2015 (TVA 2015a). The
licensee subsequently supplemented its
application as described under
‘‘Description of the Proposed Action’’ in
Section III of this document. If
approved, the license amendments
would increase the maximum thermal
power level at each of the three BFN
units from 3,458 MWt to 3,952 MWt.
The NRC staff prepared a draft EA for
comment to document its findings
related to the proposed EPU in
