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 
8.
    Agency Approval Number: 0608-0759.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 63,000 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 42,000 hours.
    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 2\1/2\ 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 8 interview collectively are called the 
``Annual Round-Up'' topical modules. The individual components are: 1) 
Annual Income and Retirement Accounts, 2) Taxes, and 3) School 
Enrollment and Financing. Wave 8 interviews will be conducted from June 
through September 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.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Gerald Tache, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, (202) 
482-3271, Department of Commerce, room 5312, 14th and Constitution 
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Maria Gonzalez, OMB Desk Officer, room 
10201, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: November 17, 1994.
