and Work Related Expenses and Child 

Support Paid. These topical modules 

were previously conducted in the SIPP 

2004 Panel Wave 3 instrument. There 

will be an additional topical module in 

this wave to obtain information on the 

Economic Stimulus Package. Wave 4 

interviews will be conducted from 

September 1, 2009 through December 

31, 2009. 

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 4 years. 

The 2008 Panel is scheduled for four 

years and four months and includes 

thirteen waves which began September 

1, 2008. All household members 15 

years old or over are interviewed using 

regular proxy-respondent 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 3 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

NOAA provides educators an 

opportunity to gain first-hand 

experience with field research activities 

through the Teacher at Sea Program. 

Through this program, educators spend 

up to three weeks at sea on a NOAA 

research vessel, participating in an ongoing research project with NOAA 

scientists. Once educators are selected 

and participate on a cruise, they write 

a report detailing the events of the 

cruise and ideas for classroom activities 

based on what they learned while at sea. 

These materials are then made available 

to other educators so they may benefit 

from the experience, without actually 

going to sea themselves. In order to 

better serve the participants, the 

Teacher at Sea Program would like to 

survey the teacher participants on their 

experience before, during, and after they 

return from sea. The survey will collect 

data only from teacher participants, not 

from applicants. 

II. Method of Collection 

Forms can be completed on-line, 

printed, and mailed. Persons with full 

Adobe Acrobat software can save the 

on-line form and submit it 

electronically. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: None. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

375. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour 

to read and complete survey, and 1 hour 

for a follow-up call from the external 

evaluator. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 750. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0.
