The core SIPP and reinterview instruments were cleared under Authorization No. 0607–0944. 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. 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. 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. 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, such as estimating eligibility for government programs, examining pension and health care coverage, and analyzing individual net worth. These supplemental questions are included with the core and are referred to as ‘‘topical modules.’’ The topical modules for the 2008 Panel Wave 9 are as follows: Adult Well Being; and Informal Care Giving. Wave 9 interviews will be conducted from May 1, 2011 through August 31, 2011. 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 approximately 3 to 6 years. The 2008 Panel is scheduled for approximately 6 years and includes seventeen waves which began September 1, 2008. All household members 15 years old or over are interviewed using regular proxyrespondent rules. They are interviewed a total of thirteen times (thirteen waves), at 4-month intervals, making the SIPP a longitudinal survey. Sample people (all household members present at the time of the first interview) who move within the country and reasonably close to a SIPP primary sampling unit (PSU) will be followed and interviewed at their new address. Individuals 15 years old or over who enter the household after Wave 1 will be interviewed; however, if VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:35 Jan 03, 2011 Jkt 223001 these people move, they are not followed unless they happen to move along with a Wave 1 sample individual. The OMB has established an Interagency Advisory Committee to provide guidance for the content and procedures for the SIPP. Interagency subcommittees were set up to recommend specific areas of inquiries for supplemental questions. The Census Bureau developed the 2008 Panel Wave 9 topical modules through consultation with the SIPP OMB Interagency Subcommittee. The questions for the topical modules address major policy and program concerns as stated by this subcommittee and the SIPP Interagency Advisory Committee. 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.

Abstract The economic census, conducted under authority of Title 13, United States code (U.S.C.), is the primary source of facts about the structure and functioning of the Nation’s economy. Economic statistics serve as part of the framework for the national accounts and provide essential information for government, business, and the general public. Economic data are the Census Bureau’s primary program commitment during nondecennial census years. The 2012 Economic Census covering Utilities, Transportation and Warehousing, Finance and Insurance, and Real Estate and Rental and Leasing sectors (as defined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)) will measure the economic activity of more than 1.2 million establishments.

(OMB) to conduct the Wave 9 interview for the 2008 Panel of the Survey 
of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). The core SIPP and 
reinterview instruments were cleared under Authorization No. 0607-0944.
    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. 
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. 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.
    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, 
such as estimating eligibility for government programs, examining 
pension and health care coverage, and analyzing individual net worth. 
These supplemental questions are included with the core and are 
referred to as ``topical modules.''
    The topical modules for the 2008 Panel Wave 9 are as follows: Adult 
Well Being; and Informal Care Giving. Wave 9 interviews will be 
conducted from May 1, 2011 through August 31, 2011.
    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 approximately 3 to 6 years. The 2008 Panel is 
scheduled for approximately 6 years and includes seventeen waves which 
began September 1, 2008. All household members 15 years old or over are 
interviewed using regular proxy-respondent rules. They are interviewed 
a total of thirteen times (thirteen waves), at 4-month intervals, 
making the SIPP a longitudinal survey. Sample people (all household 
members present at the time of the first interview) who move within the 
country and reasonably close to a SIPP primary sampling unit (PSU) will 
be followed and interviewed at their new address. Individuals 15 years 
old or over who enter the household after Wave 1 will be interviewed; 
however, if these people move, they are not followed unless they happen 
to move along with a Wave 1 sample individual.
    The OMB has established an Interagency Advisory Committee to 
provide guidance for the content and procedures for the SIPP. 
Interagency subcommittees were set up to recommend specific areas of 
inquiries for supplemental questions.
    The Census Bureau developed the 2008 Panel Wave 9 topical modules 
through consultation with the SIPP OMB Interagency Subcommittee. The 
questions for the topical modules address major policy and program 
concerns as stated by this subcommittee and the SIPP Interagency 
Advisory Committee.
    Data provided by the SIPP are being used by economic policymakers,

Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of 
Agriculture.
