Title of Collection: Data Security
Requirements for Accessing
Confidential Data.
OMB Control Number: DOT–OST–
2022–0130.
Summary of Collection: Title III of the
Foundations for Evidence-Based
Policymaking Act of 2018 (44 U.S.C.
3583; hereafter referred to as the
Evidence Act) mandates that OMB
establish a Standard Application
Process (SAP) for requesting access to
certain confidential data assets. While
the adoption of the SAP is required for
statistical agencies and units designated
under the Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2018 (CIPSEA), it is recognized that
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:51 Feb 02, 2023
Jkt 259001
other agencies and organizational units
within the Executive Branch may
benefit from the adoption of the SAP to
accept applications for access to
confidential data assets. The SAP is to
be a process through which agencies,
the Congressional Budget Office, State,
local, and Tribal governments,
researchers, and other individuals, as
appropriate, may apply to access
confidential data assets held by a federal
statistical agency or unit for the
purposes of developing evidence. With
the Interagency Council on Statistical
Policy (ICSP) as advisors, the entities
upon whom this requirement is levied
are working with the SAP Project
Management Office (PMO) and with
OMB to implement the SAP.
The SAP Portal is to be a single webbased common application designed to
collect information from individuals
requesting access to confidential data
assets from federal statistical agencies
and units. When an application for
confidential data is approved through
the SAP Portal, BTS 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. BTS data
security agreements and other
paperwork, along with the
corresponding security protocols, allow
BTS to maintain careful controls on
confidentiality and privacy, as required
by law. BTS’s collection of data security
information will occur outside of the
SAP Portal.
The following bullets outline the
major components and processes in and
around the SAP Portal, leading up to
BTS’s collection of security
requirements.
• SAP Policy: At the recommendation
of the ICSP, the SAP Policy establishes
the SAP to be implemented by statistical
agencies and units and incorporates
directives from the Evidence Act. The
SAP Policy may be found in OMB
Memorandum 23–04.
• The SAP Portal: The SAP Portal is
an application interface connecting
applicants seeking data with a catalog of
metadata for data assets owned by the
federal statistical agencies and units.
The SAP Portal is not a new data
repository or warehouse; confidential
data assets will continue to be stored in
secure data access facilities owned and
hosted by the federal statistical agencies
and units. The Portal provides a
streamlined application process across
agencies, reducing redundancies in the
application process.
• Data Discovery: Individuals begin
the process of accessing restricted use
data by discovering confidential data
PO 00000
Frm 00143
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
assets through the SAP metadata
catalog, maintained by federal statistical
agencies at www.researchdatagov.org.
• SAP Portal Application Process:
Individuals who have identified and
wish to access confidential data assets
apply through the SAP Portal.
Applicants must create an account and
follow all steps to complete the
application. Applicants enter personal,
contact, and institutional information
for the research team and provide
summary information about their
proposed project.
• Submission for Review: Agencies
approve or reject an application within
a prompt timeframe. Agencies may also
request applicants to revise and
resubmit their application.
• Access to Confidential Data:
Approved applicants are notified
through the SAP Portal that their
proposal has been accepted. This
concludes the SAP Portal process.
Agencies will contact approved
applicants to initiate completion of their
security documents. The completion
and submission of the agency’s security
requirements will take place outside of
the SAP Portal.
• Collection of Information for Data
Security Requirements: In the instance
of a positive determination for an
application requesting access to a BTSowned confidential data asset, BTS will
contact the applicant(s) to initiate the
process of collecting information to
fulfill its data security requirements.
This process allows BTS to place the
applicant(s) in a trusted access category.
Estimate of Burden: The amount of
time to complete the agreements and
other paperwork that comprise BTS’s
security requirements will vary based
on the confidential data assets
requested. To obtain access to BTS
confidential data assets, it is estimated
that the average time to complete and
submit BTS’s data security agreements
and other paperwork is 90 minutes. This
estimate does not include the time
needed to complete and submit an
application within the SAP Portal. All
efforts related to SAP Portal
applications occur prior to and separate
from BTS’s effort to collect information
related to data security requirements.
The expected number of applications
in the SAP Portal that receive a positive
determination from BTS in a given year
may vary. Overall, per year, BTS
estimates it will collect data security
information for five application
submissions that received a positive
determination within the SAP Portal.
BTS estimates that the total burden for
the collection of information for data
security requirements over the course of
the three-year OMB clearance will be
E:\FR\FM\03FEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 23 / Friday, February 3, 2023 / Notices
about 22.5 hours and, as a result, an
average annual burden of 7.5 hours.
Comments: As required by 5 FR
1320.8(d), comments on the information
collection activities as part of this study
were solicited through the publication
of a 60-Day Notice in the Federal
Register on November 16, 2022. BTS

Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests
and/or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records,
or provide information to a third party.
The OCC asks the OMB to extend its
approval of the collection in this notice.
Title: Recordkeeping Requirements
for Securities Transactions.
OMB Number: 1557–0142.
Abstract: The information collection
requirements in 12 CFR parts 12 and
151 are designed to ensure that national
banks and Federal savings associations
comply with the banking and securities
laws and improve the protections
afforded to persons who purchase and
sell securities through these financial
institutions. Parts 12 and 151 establish
recordkeeping and confirmation
requirements applicable to certain
securities transactions effected by
national banks and Federal savings
associations for customers. The
transaction confirmation information
required by these regulations ensures
that customers receive a record of each
securities transaction and that both
financial institutions and the OCC have
the records necessary to monitor
compliance with the banking and
securities laws and regulations. The
OCC uses the required information in
the course of its examinations to
evaluate, among other things, an
institution’s compliance with the
antifraud provisions of the Federal
securities laws.
The information collection
requirements contained in 12 CFR parts
12 and 151 are as follows:
• Twelve CFR 12.3 requires a national
bank effecting securities transactions for
customers to maintain certain records
for at least three years. The records
required by this section must clearly
and accurately reflect the information
required and provide an adequate basis
for audit of the information. Section
12.3(b) permits the use of a third-party
service provider for records
maintenance.
• Twelve CFR 151.50 requires a
Federal savings association effecting
securities transactions for customers to
maintain certain records for at least
three years. Twelve CFR 151.60
provides that the records required by
§ 151.50 must clearly and accurately
reflect the information required and
provide an adequate basis for audit of
the information. Section 151.60(b)
