SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of Information Collection: MCC Restricted Data Use Application. OMB Control Number: Not assigned. Type of Review: A new information collection. Affected Public: The likely respondents are expected to be researchers, including university and college faculty and students, who will use this data for statistical analysis. Estimated Number of Respondents: Approximately 50 new respondents are expected annually to access MCCfunded restricted data. Frequency: One application for each restricted data package for which access is requested by a respondent. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00111 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 Estimated Average Burden per Response: 90 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4,500 hours total. Respondents’ Obligation: Voluntary reply. Abstract: MCC is committed to providing public access to high-value data collected as part of the development, implementation, and evaluation of MCC-funded assistance programs, while being equally committed to protecting the confidentiality of individuals and organizations from which the data are collected. To achieve these twin aims, MCC publishes de-identified public use files of microdata on its website through the MCC Evaluation Catalog. In addition, MCC plans to make restricted data files available in cases where the de-identification efforts for public use files would significantly impair the analytic potential of the data, or where the data contain highly sensitive information that cannot be shared as a public-use file. However, access to restricted data will only be granted to users who meet eligibility criteria and agree to terms of access established by MCC, including agreeing to follow strict requirements for maintaining data confidentiality. The MCC Restricted Data Use Application collects information that will be used by MCC and its data steward, the University of Michigan’s Interagency Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), to evaluate whether respondents qualify for access to MCC’s restricted data. The application, which will be submitted electronically, requires the provision of specific information by the respondent, such as (i) the name, contact information, and CV/Resume/Biosketch for each person that will access the restricted data, (ii) a research proposal describing the need for the data and how it will be used, (iii) evidence of Institutional Review Board approval or exemption of the research proposal, and (iv) a signed restricted data use agreement.
