(OMB) to conduct the Wave 9 interview 

for the 2008 Panel of the Survey of 

Income and Program Participation 

(SIPP). The core SIPP and reinterview 

instruments were cleared under 

Authorization No. 0607–0944. 

The SIPP represents a source of 

information for a wide variety of topics 

and allows information for separate 

topics to be integrated to form a single 

and unified database so that the 

interaction between tax, transfer, and 

other government and private policies 

can be examined. Government domestic 

policy formulators depend heavily upon 

the SIPP information concerning the 

distribution of income received directly 

as money or indirectly as in-kind 

benefits and the effect of tax and 

transfer programs on this distribution. 

They also need improved and expanded 

data on the income and general 

economic and financial situation of the 

U.S. population. The SIPP has provided 

these kinds of data on a continuing basis 

since 1983, permitting levels of 

economic well-being and changes in 

these levels to be measured over time. 

The survey is molded around a 

central ‘‘core’’ of labor force and income 

questions that remain fixed throughout 

the life of a panel. The core is 

supplemented with questions designed 

to answer specific needs, such as 

estimating eligibility for government 

programs, examining pension and 

health care coverage, and analyzing 

individual net worth. These 

supplemental questions are included 

with the core and are referred to as 

‘‘topical modules.’’ 

The topical modules for the 2008 

Panel Wave 9 are as follows: Adult Well 

Being; and Informal Care Giving. Wave 

9 interviews will be conducted from 

May 1, 2011 through August 31, 2011. 

The SIPP is designed as a continuing 

series of national panels of interviewed 

households that are introduced every 

few years, with each panel having 

durations of approximately 3 to 6 years. 

The 2008 Panel is scheduled for 

approximately 6 years and includes 

seventeen waves which began 

September 1, 2008. All household 

members 15 years old or over are 

interviewed using regular proxyrespondent rules. They are interviewed 

a total of thirteen times (thirteen waves), 

at 4-month intervals, making the SIPP a 

longitudinal survey. Sample people (all 

household members present at the time 

of the first interview) who move within 

the country and reasonably close to a 

SIPP primary sampling unit (PSU) will 

be followed and interviewed at their 

new address. Individuals 15 years old or 

over who enter the household after 

Wave 1 will be interviewed; however, if 

these people move, they are not 

followed unless they happen to move 

along with a Wave 1 sample individual. 

The OMB has established an 

Interagency Advisory Committee to 

provide guidance for the content and 

procedures for the SIPP. Interagency 

subcommittees were set up to 

recommend specific areas of inquiries 

for supplemental questions. 

The Census Bureau developed the 

2008 Panel Wave 9 topical modules 

through consultation with the SIPP 

OMB Interagency Subcommittee. The 

questions for the topical modules 

address major policy and program 

concerns as stated by this subcommittee 

and the SIPP Interagency Advisory 

Committee. 

Data provided by the SIPP are being 

used by economic policymakers, the 

Congress, state and local governments, 

and federal agencies that administer 

social welfare or transfer payment 

programs, such as the Department of 

Health and Human Services and the 

Department of Agriculture. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Every 4 months. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., 182.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The economic census, conducted 

under authority of Title 13, United 

States code (U.S.C.), is the primary 

source of facts about the structure and 

functioning of the Nation’s economy. 

Economic statistics serve as part of the 

framework for the national accounts and 

provide essential information for 

government, business, and the general 

public. Economic data are the Census 

Bureau’s primary program commitment 

during nondecennial census years. The 

2012 Economic Census covering 

Utilities, Transportation and 

Warehousing, Finance and Insurance, 

and Real Estate and Rental and Leasing 

sectors (as defined by the North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS)) will measure the 

economic activity of more than 1.2 

million establishments. However,
