Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

DOC has submitted 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: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: 2004 Panel of the Survey of 

Income and Program Participation, 

Wave 7 Topical Modules. 

Form Number(s): SIPP/CAPI 

Automated Instrument; SIPP 24705(L) 

Director’s Letter; SIPP 24003 Reminder 

Card. 

Agency Approval Number: 0607–

0905. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden: 148,028 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 97,650. 

Avg Hours per Response: 30 Minutes. 

Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census 

Bureau requests authorization from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) to conduct the Wave 7 topical 

module interview for the 2004 Panel of 

the Survey of Income and Program 

Participation (SIPP). We are also 

requesting approval for a few 

replacement questions in the 

reinterview instrument. The core SIPP 

and reinterview instruments were 

cleared under Authorization No. 0607–

0905. 

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 3 to 4 years. The 2004 

Panel is scheduled for four years and 

will include twelve waves of 

interviewing. All household members 

15 years old or over are interviewed a 

total of twelve times (twelve waves), at 

4-month intervals, making the SIPP a 

longitudinal survey. 

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. These 

supplemental questions are included 

with the core and are referred to as 

‘‘topical modules.’’ The topical modules 

for the 2004 Panel Wave 7 are Informal 

Caregiving, Retirement and Pension 

Plan Coverage, Annual Income and 

Retirement Accounts, and Taxes. The 

Informal Caregiving and Retirement and 

Pension Plan Coverage topical modules 

were previously conducted in the SIPP 

2001 Panel Wave 7 instrument. The 

Annual Income and Retirement 

Accounts and Taxes topical modules 

were previously conducted in the SIPP 

2004 Panel Wave 4 instrument. Wave 7 

interviews will be conducted from 

February 2006 through May 2006. 

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. 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. 

Monetary incentives to encourage nonrespondents to participate is planned for 

all waves of the 2004 SIPP Panel. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Every 4 months. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

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

182.
