Comment Request
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).

Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Burden: 148,028 hours.
Number of Respondents: 97,650.
Avg Hours per Response: 30 Minutes.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau requests authorization from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to conduct the Wave 7 topical
module interview for the 2004 Panel of
the Survey of Income and Program
Participation (SIPP). We are also
requesting approval for a few
replacement questions in the
reinterview instrument. The core SIPP
and reinterview instruments were
cleared under Authorization No. 0607–
0905.
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 3 to 4 years. The 2004
Panel is scheduled for four years and
will include twelve waves of
interviewing. All household members
15 years old or over are interviewed a
total of twelve times (twelve waves), at
4-month intervals, making the SIPP a
longitudinal survey.
The survey is molded around a
central ‘‘core’’ of labor force and income
questions that remain fixed throughout
the life of a panel. The core is
supplemented with questions designed
to answer specific needs. These
supplemental questions are included
with the core and are referred to as
‘‘topical modules.’’ The topical modules
for the 2004 Panel Wave 7 are Informal
Caregiving, Retirement and Pension
Plan Coverage, Annual Income and
Retirement Accounts, and Taxes. The
Informal Caregiving and Retirement and
Pension Plan Coverage topical modules
were previously conducted in the SIPP
2001 Panel Wave 7 instrument. The
Annual Income and Retirement
Accounts and Taxes topical modules
were previously conducted in the SIPP
2004 Panel Wave 4 instrument. Wave 7
interviews will be conducted from
February 2006 through May 2006.
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. The SIPP
represents a source of information for a
wide variety of topics and allows
information for separate topics to be
integrated to form a single and unified
database so that the interaction between
tax, transfer, and other government and
private policies can be examined.

formulators depend heavily upon the
SIPP information concerning the
distribution of income received directly
as money or indirectly as in-kind
benefits and the effect of tax and
transfer programs on this distribution.
They also need improved and expanded
data on the income and general
economic and financial situation of the
U.S. population. The SIPP has provided
these kinds of data on a continuing basis
since 1983, permitting levels of
economic well-being and changes in
these levels to be measured over time.
Monetary incentives to encourage nonrespondents to participate is planned for
all waves of the 2004 SIPP Panel.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Every 4 months.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau is the preeminent
collector of timely, relevant and quality
data about the people and economy of
the United States. Economic data are the
Census Bureau’s primary program
commitment during non-decennial
census years. The economic census,
conducted under authority of Title 13
U.S.C., is the primary source of facts
about the structure and functioning of
the Nation’s economy and features
unique industry and geographic detail.
Economic census statistics serve as part
of the framework for the national
accounts and provide essential
information for government, business
and the general public.
This data collection, Form NC–99023,
is designed to obtain detailed
classification information in order to
assign a North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) code for
establishments that are unclassified and
that are partially classified. The NC–
99023 will be used to assign a detailed
NAICS code to these establishments.
Accurate and reliable industry and
geographic codes are critical to the
Census Bureau statistical programs.
New businesses are assigned industry
classification by the Social Security
Administration (SSA). However, many
of these businesses cannot be assigned
detailed industry codes because
insufficient information is provided by
respondents on Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) Form SS–4 and are
therefore unclassified.
Establishments that are currently
partially classified could be
misclassified in the Economic Census
without a complete NAICS code. This
refile operation will determine a

complete and reliable classification in
order to ensure the establishment is
tabulated in the correct detailed
industry for the 2007 Economic Census.
For many of these establishments, this
is the only chance to obtain this detailed
industry classification. If these
establishments are not mailed as part of
the Economic Census economic data for
these cases could be lost.
The failure to collect this
classification information will have an
adverse effect on the quality and
usefulness of economic statistics and
severely hamper the Census Bureau’s
ability to effectively classify
establishments under NAICS in the
Economic Census and other survey
programs.
The Census Bureau is not requesting
any economic data in this collection.
The collection of this NAICS
information will greatly reduce
processing costs and ease reporting
burden for the 2007 Economic Census
data collection.
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
