Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: International Trade 

Administration (ITA). 

Title: Client Satisfaction Surveys. 

OMB Control Number: 0625–0217. 

Form Number(s): ITA–4107. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(Revision). 

Burden Hours: 879. 

Number of Respondents: 10,150. 

Average Hours per Response: 5 

minutes. 

Needs and Uses: Expanding U.S. 

exports is a national priority essential to 

improving U.S. trade performance. The 

Department of Commerce’s International 

Trade Administration including Market 

Access and Compliance (MAC) and the 

U.S. Commercial Service (CS) are key 

U.S. government agencies responsible 

for assisting U.S. companies to export 

and/or conduct business overseas. The 

CS provides export promotion services 

such as market research, client 

counseling and trade missions. MACs 

Trade Agreements Compliance (TAC) 

Center assists clients with resolving 

market access barriers. 

To accomplish its mission effectively 

and efficiently ITA requires ongoing 

client feedback on its programs. The 

feedback is used to improve its services 

to better meet clients’ needs and to 

ensure that clients are provided with 

effective and appropriate export 

services. 

Currently, the clients have the 

opportunity to provide feedback via an 

electronic link to a comment card at the 

completion of each pay-for-use service, 

trade promotion event and advocacy 

case. The CS would also like to provide 

clients with the opportunity to submit 

feedback at any time by clicking on a 

comment card link at the bottom of its 

staffs’ e-mail messages (taglines).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau conducts the 

SIPP, which is a household-based 

survey designed as a continuous series 

of national panels. New panels are 

introduced every few years with each 

panel usually having durations of one to 

four years. Respondents are interviewed 

at 4-month intervals or ‘‘waves’’ over 

the life of the panel. The survey is 

molded around a central ‘‘core’’ of labor 

force and income questions that remain 

fixed throughout the life of the panel. 

The core is supplemented with 

questions designed to address specific 

needs, such as obtaining information on 

household members participation in 

government programs as well as prior 

labor force patterns of household 

members. These supplemental questions 

are included with the core and are 

referred to as ‘‘topical modules.’’ 

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, 

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 


tjames on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
14514 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 31, 2009 / Notices 

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 2008 panel is currently scheduled 

for 4 years and will include 13 waves 

of interviewing beginning September 

2008. Approximately 65,300 households 

were selected for the 2008 panel, of 

which 45,000 households are expected 

to be interviewed. We estimate that each 

household contains 2.1 people, yielding 

94,500 person-level interviews in Wave 

1 and subsequent waves. Interviews take 

30 minutes on average. Three waves 

will occur in the 2008 SIPP Panel 

during FY 2009. The total annual 

burden for 2008 Panel SIPP interviews 

would be 141,750 hours in FY 2009. 

The topical modules for the 2008 

Panel Wave 4 collect information about: 

• Assets, Liabilities, and Eligibility. 

• Child Well-Being. 

• Medical Expenses and Utilization of 

Health Care (Adults and Children). 

• Work Related Expenses and Child 

Support Paid. 

Wave 4 interviews will be conducted 

from September 1, 2009 through 

December 31, 2009. 

A 10-minute reinterview of 3,100 

people is conducted at each wave to 

ensure accuracy of responses. 

Reinterviews would require an 

additional 1,553 burden hours in FY 

2009. 

II. Method of Collection 

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 one to four years. All 

household members 15 years old or over 

are interviewed using regular proxyrespondent rules. During the 2008 

panel, respondents are interviewed a 

total of 13 times (13 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 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 

individuals move, they are not followed 

unless they happen to move along with 

a Wave 1 sample individual.
