The Superintendent of Public Documents has a policy in place (effective since 2020) requiring action to proactively redact PII that GPO discovered in or being prepared for publication.
The GPO has been authorized to redact SSN's from documents it publishes since 2008

obviously someone should be responsible. interesting that a spokesperson for the GPO has stated on record that they aren't responsible. their charter appears to contradict that ..
Activities
Headquartered in Washington, DC, with
a total employment of approximately
2,500, GPO is
responsible for the
production and distribution of
information products and services for all
three branches of the Federal
Government.
GPO is the Federal
Government’s primary centralized
resource for gathering, cataloging,
producing, providing, authenticating,
and preserving published information in
all its forms. GPO’s 1.5-million-squarefoot
complex is the largest information
processing, printing, and distribution
facility in the world.
While many of our Nation’s most
important products, such as the
Congressional Record and Federal
Register, are produced at GPO’s main
plant, the majority of the Government’s
printing needs are met through a longstanding
partnership with America’s
printing industry. GPO procures between
600 and 1,000 print-related projects a
day through private sector vendors.
so the above straight from their us gov site indicates they
are responsible. so why the DA NILE?
finger pointing isn't going to get them off the hook for what appears to be a massive fuck up of publishing clearly sensitive data. don't these dummies proof read anything?
i'd still like to know why the committee needed such data in the first place.
