Abstract:
This Information Collection Request (ICR) outlines the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) process for collecting information to fulfill its internal security requirements, enabling approved individuals to access confidential data assets of the EIA for evidence building. This collection directly supports the objectives of Title III of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (Evidence Act), which mandates the establishment of a Standard Application Process (SAP) by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to facilitate secure access to confidential federal statistical data. While the broader SAP Portal (OMB Control Number 3145-0271) manages initial applications for data access across federal statistical agencies, this specific EIA ICR addresses the necessary post-approval collection of information to establish and maintain stringent data security and privacy controls, as legally required for the provision of confidential microdata.
