SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Construction Fall Protection Systems
Criteria, Practices, and Training
Requirements information collection
requirements codified in regulations 29
CFR 1926.502 and -.503 that,
respectively, require a covered employer
to certify safety nets and to develop fall
protection plans and to prepare worker
training certification records. These
standards help to ensure that the
employer provides the required fall
protection and training. Occupational
Safety and Health Act sections 2(b) and
8(c) authorize this information
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651(b) and
657(c).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1218–0197.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
February 28, 2017. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
September 30, 2016 (81 FR 67397).

Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002 (CIPSEA).
Under 44 U.S.C. 3506(e), and
44 U.S.C. 3501, the National Science
Foundation (NSF) is announcing a
revision to the confidentiality pledge it
provides to its respondents under
CIPSEA, the NSF Act of 1950, as
amended, and the Privacy Act of 1974.
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), which 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: This revision becomes effective
upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register. In a separate Federal
Register notice, NSF is seeking public
comment on this confidentiality pledge
revision.

Comments: Contact Suzanne H.
Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer,

through Friday.
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
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 Secretary of
Homeland Security 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
malware electronically searches Internet
traffic in and out of Federal civilian
agencies in real time for malware
signatures. When such a signature is
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 have developed a
Memorandum of Agreement for the
installation of Einstein cybersecurity
protection technology to monitor their
Internet traffic.
NSF 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 NSF programs
whose confidentiality pledges will
change to reflect the statutory
implementation of DHS’ Einstein
monitoring for cybersecurity protection
purposes.
Therefore, the National Science
Foundation is providing this notice to
alert the public to these confidentiality
pledge revisions in an efficient and
coordinated fashion. Table 1 below
contains a listing of NSF’s current PRA
OMB numbers and information
collection titles and their associated
revised confidentiality pledges for the
Information Collections whose
confidentiality pledges will change to
reflect the statutory implementations of
DHS’ Einstein 3A monitoring for
cybersecurity protection purposes. For
the Information Collections listed in the
table below, NSF statistical
confidentiality pledges will be modified
to include the following sentence, ‘‘Per
the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement
Act of 2015, your data are protected
from cybersecurity risks through
screening of the systems that transmit
your data.’’
