I. Abstract
The Census Bureau will be
conducting a dress rehearsal for the Reengineered SIPP from January to March
of 2010. The SIPP is a household-based
survey designed as a continuous series
of national panels. The Re-engineered
SIPP design is a revision of the 2008
Panel SIPP Instrument, in which
respondents were interviewed at 4-
VerDate Nov<24>2008

month intervals or ‘‘waves’’ over the life
of the panel. The current 2008 Panel
was molded around a central ‘‘core’’ of
labor force and income questions that
remain fixed throughout the life of the
panel and then supplemented with
questions designed to address specific
needs called ‘‘topical modules.’’
Examples of these topical modules
include Medical Expenses, Child Care,
Retirement and Pension Plan Coverage,
Marital History, and others.
In contrast, the new Re-engineered
SIPP will interview respondents in one
year intervals, using the previous
calendar year as the reference period.
The content of the Re-engineered SIPP
will match that of the 2008 Panel SIPP
very closely. The Re-engineered SIPP
will not contain free-standing topical
modules. However, a portion of the
2008 Panel topical module content will
be integrated into the Re-engineered
SIPP interview. The Re-engineered SIPP
will use an Event History Calendar
(EHC), which records dates of events
and spells of coverage. The EHC should
provide increased accuracy to dates
reported by respondents.
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,
unified database so that the interaction
between tax, transfer, and other
government and private policies can be
examined. Government domestic policy
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, which the SIPP has
provided on a continuing basis since
1983. The SIPP has measured levels of
economic well being and permitted
changes in these levels to be measured
over time.
The 2010 Re-engineered SIPP dress
rehearsal will be conducted from
January 2010 to March 2010.
Approximately 8,000 households are
selected for the 2010 Re-engineered
SIPP dress rehearsal, of which, 5,120
households will likely be interviewed.
We estimate that each household
contains 2.0 people aged 15 and above,
yielding approximately 10,240 personlevel interviews in the dress rehearsal.
Interviews take 30 minutes on average.
The total annual burden for 2010 Reengineered SIPP dress rehearsal
interviews would be 5,120 hours in FY
2010.

In addition, we will be conducting
practice interviews for 2010 Reengineered SIPP Field Representatives
(FR) in November and December of
2009. These practice interviews will
consist of 200 Field Representatives
interviewing 3 households of two
persons each at 30 minutes per
interview. The resulting burden hours
for the practice interviews are 600
burden hours.
II. Method of Collection
The 2010 Re-engineered SIPP dress
rehearsal instrument will consist of one
household interview, which will
reference the calendar year 2009. The
interview is conducted in person with
all household members 15 years old or
over using regular proxy-respondent
rules.

I. Abstract
The Cooperative Oxford Laboratory
(COL) in Oxford, Maryland was
established in 1960 and has operated
under a cooperative agreement between
NOAA and the Maryland Department of
Natural Resources (MDNR) for the last
12 years. Research conducted by COL
scientists has supported efforts to
sustain historic fisheries along the
Atlantic coast of the United States for
nearly 50 years. As COL’s 50th
anniversary approaches, staff at the
National Centers of Coastal Ocean
Science will undertake a cultural
history project to document and
preserve the rich and unique history of
the COL, its importance to the local
seafood industry, and the cultural
memory of the ‘‘oyster years.’’ In

addition to collecting historical
documents, photographs and artifacts,
the researchers will conduct 25 to 30
videotaped oral history interviews with
key members from the local community
who have historic knowledge of COL
and local, coastal resources. This
includes scientists, resource managers,
watermen, business owners, and
knowledgeable members of the general
community. The goal of the oral history
project is to collect stories about the
successes and challenges related to
preserving the local seafood industry,
and to document the rich history and
local heritage tied to the COL. These
videotaped oral histories will be
archived with local, regional, and
national organizations. In addition, the
researchers will edit clips from the
interviews to create short
documentaries, which will be made
available to local, regional, and national
museums and other entities.
II. Method of Collection
Researchers will conduct videotaped,
unstructured oral history interviews.
