The FSRDC program provides secure environments for approved data users to access federal confidential data assets, while protecting respondent confidentiality. These restricted-access data come from censuses and surveys of businesses and households, linked employer-employee data, and administrative records from federal and state agencies and other sources. Data users apply to access such confidential data through the Standard Application Process, described below.

The SAP was created by OMB and the Federal statistical system, per requirements of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act (Evidence Act)/Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) of 2018.

A collaborative effort of OMB and the Federal statistical system, the National Secure Data Service (NSDS) serves as a centralized resource for data users to navigate the national data ecosystem. NSDS key features will begin rolling out as they become available, leading up to the launch of NSDS 1.0 in summer 2027. The future, full NSDS 1.0 is envisioned to offer individualized assistance for data users in navigating the data ecosystem, an interactive dashboard documenting how government data are used, innovative tools to better harness the power of data, and a curated set of data skills and evidence-building resources. The NSDS was first introduced by the bipartisan Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking, followed by recommendations provided by the Advisory Committee on Data for Evidence Building and additional legislative requirements to conduct a NSDS Demonstration.

481ommission on Evidence-Based Policymaking (CEP). The CEP was established in 2016 and delivered a report in 2017 to the President and to Congress containing 22 recommendations to encourage: (1) systematic planning for evidence building; (2) high quality data governance; and (3) coordinated support for privacy-protected data sharing. To advise OMB on implementation of some Evidence Act requirements, and to refine other recommendations from the CEP, Congress included a requirement in the Evidence Act to stand up the Advisory Committee on Data for Evidence Building (ACDEB). The ACDEB was tasked to review, analyze, and make recommendations on how to promote the use of Federal data for evidence building. Its duties included advising the U.S. Chief Statistician and ICSP on implementation of Title III of the Evidence Act, known as CIPSEA 2018. The ACDEB delivered its final report to OMB in October 2022.
