From page 35...
... Without the cooperation of these data providers, federal statistical agencies could produce very little useful statistical information. Some information provided is required by law or regulation for government tax and transfer programs, such as reports of employers' wages to state employment security agencies or payments to program beneficiaries.
From page 36...
... Consistent ethical conduct on the part of a statistical agency is critical for obtaining the trust of the general public and of data providers, whether those providers are individuals, organizational entities, or custodians of administrative records. Statistical agencies should coordinate and collaborate with each other to ensure that their communications and internal practices are clear and consistent to strengthen the trust of data providers who may interact with more than one agency (see Practice 7)
From page 37...
... These agencies pledge to use the information they collect only for statistical purposes, not to provide individual records for any administrative, regulatory, or judicial use, and to make every effort to protect the confidentiality of individual information in the data they make available for public use. This pledge is supported by many statistical agencies' individual statutes as well as the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA)
