What is the Self-Assessment Checklist?
The Self-Assessment Checklist is designed to measure your ability to meet the Census Bureau’s security requirements. If you cannot meet the requirements listed in the checklist, you are not eligible for Option 1 or Option 2 participation. The LUCA liaisons for Option 1 and Option 2 must complete and return the form. The Census Bureau reviews the checklists. If any confidentiality problems are evident, the Census Bureau will contact you and attempt to work out a satisfactory resolution to the problem. The Census Bureau will not ship Title 13 materials to you until the signed form is received and the evidence of adequate security measures exists. If you are unable to provide positive responses to all questions, you should select Option 3. If you are unable to provide positive responses to the questions about computer security and you select Option 1, you may request a paper format address list if your entity has 6000 addresses or fewer and you are able to secure the paper address list.
