Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on March 8,
2024 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau,
Department of Commerce.
Title: Collection of State/Local
Administrative Records and Third-Party
Data.
OMB Control Number: 0607–XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission,
New Information Collection Request.
Number of Respondents: 80.
Average Hours per Response: 75.
Burden Hours: 6,000.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau
uses state and local administrative
records data linked with other survey
and census records, including but not
limited to, data from the Survey of
Income and Program Participation
(SIPP), the Current Population Survey
(CPS) and the American Community
Survey (ACS) to conduct research and
improve operations.
The Census Bureau encourages the
District of Columbia, all 50 states, and
local municipalities to share
administrative records data generally
associated with, but not limited to:
nutrition and food assistance programs,
including the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) and the
Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Women, Infants and
Children (WIC); and welfare programs,
including child care subsidy; household
self-sufficiency programs, including low

Data sharing and analysis of linked
files are solely for statistical purposes,
not for program enforcement. All
administrative records data are and will
remain confidential under Title 13,
United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 9,
whether in their original form or when
comingled or linked.
The Census Bureau will use data from
businesses for research, censuses, and
surveys operations. This data will be
collected from businesses through
agreements or contracts. Third-party
targeted entities for this acquisition will
include cross sector industries such as
manufacturing, information services,
healthcare, supply chain, and retail.
The U.S. Census Bureau efforts to
collect these data include integrating
and linking the data with Census
Bureau data from current surveys and
censuses to improve efficiency and
accuracy of Census data collections,
including 2030 Census Operations, and
improve measures of the population and
economy. In 2030, administrative
records and third-party data could
potentially be used to enhance non-ID
address processing, imputation, inoffice enumeration, contact strategies,
and post-processing.
The Census Bureau benefits from
these efforts by improving data quality,
survey frames, developing model-based
edits and allocations, and studies of
program participation and data quality
over time. Collaborating agencies have
benefited through access to reports and
tabulations to enhance information
about participation in assistance
programs.
The Census Bureau is obligated by
law to use existing information that has
already been collected by other
government agencies, whenever
possible, instead of asking for such
information directly from the public,
provided that the existing information is
consistent with the kind, timeliness,
scope, and quality of the statistics that
the Census Bureau is authorized to
produce.
The authority for the Census Bureau
to acquire state administrative records
data on nutrition assistance is 13 U.S.C.
6. Additionally, the state agencies may
provide SNAP and Special
Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
data to the Census Bureau under 7
U.S.C. 2026 and 42 U.S.C. 1786 and
implementing regulations at 7 CFR part
246, respectively. Further, state agencies
may provide TANF data to the Census
Bureau under the Public Health and
Welfare Act, 42 U.S.C. 613 and Section
1137 of the Social Security Act, 42
U.S.C. 1320b–7.

• Improve survey coverage
• Evaluate, edit, and analyze census
and survey data
• Conduct new policy-relevant crosssectional and longitudinal analyses
• Create new lower-cost data products
without incurring additional
respondent burden
The Census Bureau will link
administrative records and third-party
data with data from censuses and
surveys at the Census Bureau, including
but not limited to data from the SIPP,
CPS, ACS, and economic programs.
Linking records across programs,
across states, or over time is
accomplished using a unique linkage
identifier called a Protected
Identification Key (PIK). Processing to
assign a PIK to each person record
involves matching based on
combinations of name, address, sex,
date of birth, and Social Security
Number (SSN) data, as available. For
example, the Census Bureau requests
the following data elements from the
state agencies:
a. Case unit identifiers,
b. Active Participant definitions,
c. Complete monthly case unit
address history (residence, mailing),
d. Benefit month,
e. Monthly Benefits data (any of the
available: benefits received date,
benefits amount issued/received, and
benefit amount redeemed),
f. Income reporting requirement
(simplified reporting, change reporting,
etc.),
g. Gross income (monthly),
h. Net income (monthly),
i. Eligibility and denial information,
j. Household size,
k. Identifiers for individuals in case
units, and
l. The following information on
individuals in a case unit:
i. Name
ii. Social Security Number
iii. Case unit/main contact phone
number
iv. Unique individual identifier
v. Benefit month
vi. Case unit identifier
vii. Program data type
viii. Active participant definitions
ix. Relationship to primary recipient
x. History of membership in case unit
xi. Race
xii. Hispanic origin/Ethnicity
xiii. Sex
xiv. Date of birth
xv. Gross income (monthly)
xvi. Net income (monthly)

assistance, other)
xviii. Education

The Census Bureau will use nutrition
assistance data to improve surveys and
census authorized by Title 13 of the
U.S.C. The Census Bureau will evaluate
the quality of the linked data to:
improve efficiency and accuracy in our
data collections; improve measures of
population and economy; evaluate and
improve data linking software and
techniques; improve data quality and
estimates; improve Census Bureau
household survey coverage and gain a
greater understanding of data quality
collected in Census Bureau household
surveys on program participation,
household composition and income;
and provide a basis for improving
Census Bureau demographic and

questions.
The Census Bureau may provide
tabulated data to the participating
agencies that may use these tabulations
for research related to and evaluation of
state programs, such as rates of
enrollment in and demographic
characteristics of participants in state
assistance programs.
Data sharing and analysis of linked

not for program enforcement or the
