Agency Form Under Review by the Office of Management and Budget

    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: Bureau of the Census.
    Title: 1996 Panel Content Tests for the Survey of Income and 
Program Participation (SIPP) Redesign.
    Form Number(s): Control, Core, and Topical Modules in an automated 
instrument, Reminder Card.
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 840 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 840.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 30 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The 1996 Content Tests for the SIPP are part of a 
program of evaluation and development emerging from a comprehensive 
reassessment of SIPP. The SIPP redesign is an evolving process that has 
multiple developmental and testing stages. This stage involves proposed 
small-scale content tests to evaluate changes made to the new 
instrument in earlier pretests. The content tests will involve two 
waves of interviews to be conducted at an estimated 400 households. The 
objectives of these content tests are: to evaluate the improved wording 
and ordering of the instrument over what was implemented during the 
pretests; and to further test the total integration of the instrument; 
observe field interviewing techniques through laptop management 
application; assess the case management system's ability to assign, 
accept, and transfer cases; and test closeout activities and post-
closeout data preparations.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Twice in 1994.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, (202) 395-7313.
