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 - 1992 Panel

Waves 9 and 10.

Form Number(s): SIPP-12900.

Agency Approval Number: 0607-0723.

Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.

Burden: 42,000 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, household survey in which the

Census Bureau interviews sample households in waves occurring every 4

months over 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.'' As part of our

transition plans for SIPP from paper to an automated questionnaire, the

Census Bureau is requesting an extension of the 1992 Panel in order to

conduct 2 additional waves of interviews. The topical modules for Wave

9 include the following: 1) Work Schedule, 2) Child Care, 3) Child

Support Agreements, 4) Support for Nonhousehold Members, 5) Functional

Limitations and Disabilities-Adults, 6) Utilization of Health Care

Services-Adults, 7) Functional Limitations and Disabilities-Children,

8) Utilization of Health Care Services-Children, and 9) Children's

Well-Being. Wave 9 interviews will be conducted from October 1994

through January 1995. Wave 10 interviews will have no topical modules

and will be conducted from February 1995 through May 1995.

Affected Public: Individuals or households.

Frequency: Waves 9 and 10 will be conducted 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 Edward Michals, DOC Forms Clearance Officer,

(202) 482-3271, Department of Commerce, room 5312, 14th and
