Review and Approval; Comment 

Request; Survey of Income and 

Program Participation 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on July 20, 

2023, during a 60-day comment period. 

This notice allows for an additional 30 

days for public comments. 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, 

Department of Commerce. 

Title: Survey of Income and Program 

Participation. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–1000. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission, 

Revision of a Currently Approved 

Collection. 

Number of Respondents: 40,000. 

Average Hours per Response: 50 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 33,330. 

Needs and Uses: The SIPP collects 

information about a variety of topics 

including demographics, household 

composition, education, nativity and 

citizenship, health insurance coverage, 

Medicaid, Medicare, employment and 

earnings, unemployment insurance, 

assets, child support, disability, housing 

subsidies, migration, Old-Age Survivors 

and Disability Insurance (OASDI), 

poverty, and participation in various 

government programs like 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program (SNAP), Supplemental Security 

Income (SSI), and Temporary Assistance 

for Needy Families (TANF). 

The SIPP sample is nationally 

representative, with an oversample of 

low-income areas, in order to increase 

the ability to measure participation in 

government programs. 

The SIPP program provides critical 

information necessary to understand 

patterns and relationships in income 

and program participation. It will fulfill 

its objectives to keep respondent burden 

and costs low, maintain high data 

quality and timeliness, and use a refined 

and vetted instrument and processing 

system. The SIPP data collection 

instrument maintains the improved data 

collection experience for respondents 

and interviewers and focuses on 

improvements in data quality and better 

topic integration. 

The SIPP instrument is currently 

written in Blaise and C#. It incorporates 

an Event History Calendar (EHC) design 

to help ensure that the SIPP will collect 

intra-year dynamics of income, program 

participation, and other activities with 

at least the same data quality as earlier 

panels. The EHC is intended to help 

respondents recall information in a 

more natural ‘‘autobiographical’’ 

manner by using life events as triggers 

to recall other economic events. For 

example, a residence change may often 

occur contemporaneously with a change 

in employment. The entire process of 

compiling the calendar focuses, by its 

nature, on consistency and sequential 

order of events, and attempts to correct 

for otherwise missing data. 

Since the SIPP EHC collects 

information using this 

‘‘autobiographical’’ manner for the prior 

year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, 

select questions were modified to 

include answer options related to the 

pandemic as well as adding new 

questions pertaining to the pandemic. 

For instance, we adjusted the question 

regarding being away from work parttime to include being possibly 

furloughed due to coronavirus 

pandemic business closures. We also 

added new questions to collect 

information on whether the respondent 

received any stimulus payments. 

Affected Public: Individual or 

households. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13, United 

States Code, Sections 141, 182.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Order No. 2149] 

Reorganization and Expansion of 

Foreign-Trade Zone 255 Under 

Alternative Site Framework; 

Washington County, Maryland 

Pursuant to its authority under the 

Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June 18, 

1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) adopts the following Order: 

Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones 

(FTZ) Act provides for ‘‘. . . the 

establishment . . . of foreign-trade 

zones in ports of entry of the United 

States, to expedite and encourage 

foreign commerce, and for other 

purposes,’’ and authorizes the Board to 

grant to qualified corporations the 

privilege of establishing foreign-trade 

zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection ports of entry; 

Whereas, the Board adopted the 

alternative site framework (ASF) (15 

CFR 400.2(c)) as an option for the 

establishment or reorganization of 

zones; 

Whereas, the Board of County 

Commissioners of Washington County, 

grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 255, 

submitted an application to the Board 

(FTZ Docket B–27–2023, docketed April 

13, 2023) for authority to reorganize and 

expand under the ASF with a service 

area of Washington County, Maryland, 

adjacent to the Baltimore Customs and 

Border Protection port of entry, FTZ 

255’s existing Sites 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 

would be categorized as magnet sites, 

and the grantee proposes one initial 

subzone (Subzone 255A); 

Whereas, notice inviting public 

comment was given in the Federal 

Register (88 FR 24161–24162, April 19, 

2023) and the application has been 

processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and 

the Board’s regulations; and, 

Whereas, the Board adopts the 

findings and recommendations of the 

examiners’ report, and finds that the 

requirements of the FTZ Act and the 

Board’s regulations are satisfied; 

Now, therefore, the Board hereby 

orders: 

The application to reorganize and 

expand FTZ 255 under the ASF is 

approved, subject to the FTZ Act and 

the Board’s regulations, including 

section 400.13, to the Board’s standard 

2,000-acre activation limit for the zone, 

to an ASF sunset provision for magnet 

sites that would terminate authority for 

Sites 1, 4, 6 and 7 if not activated within 

five years from the month of approval, 

and to an ASF sunset provision for 

subzones that would terminate authority 

for Subzone 255A if no foreign-status 

merchandise is admitted for a bona fide 

customs purpose within three years 

from the month of approval.
