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: Survey of Income and Program Participation - 1993 Panel Wave 
7.
    Form Number(s): SIPP-13700.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0759.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 63,000 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 42,000.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 30 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Survey of Income and Program Participation 
(SIPP) is a longitudinal, demographic, survey in which the Census 
Bureau interviews sample households in waves occurring every 4 months 
over about a 3 year period. The survey is molded around a central 
``core'' of labor force and income questions that remain fixed during 
each wave of a panel. The core is periodically supplemented with 
questions designed to answer specific needs. These supplemental 
questions are referred to as ``topical modules.'' The topical modules 
for the 1993 Panel Wave 7 are the following: 1) Assets and liabilities, 
2) Medical Expenses and Work Disability, and 3) Real Estate, Shelter 
Costs, Dependent Care, and Vehicles. Also, topical module items on 
Earnings and Employment, Stocks and Mutual Fund Shares, Rental Income, 
Mortgages, Royalties, and Other Financial Investments have been added 
in Sections 2 and 3 of the core. Wave 7 interviews will be conducted 
from February through May 1995. SIPP data on income distribution and 
changes over time in status and participation in welfare and transfer 
programs are used by economic policymakers, the Congress, state and 
local governments, and Federal agencies that administer these programs 
to support policy and program planning.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Once during the panel.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, (202) 395-7313.

    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Maria Gonzalez, OMB Desk Officer, room 
3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: June 28, 1994.
