operations and study the specific types
of injuries sustained and (2) describe the
scope and magnitude of occupational
injuries associated with farming
operations. The collection combines the
youth and occupational injury studies to
reduce the number of contacts on the
targeted farm population. Reports will
be generated and information
disseminated to all interested parties
concerning the findings from this study.
Authority: These data will be
collected under the authority of 7 U.S.C.
2204(a). Individually identifiable data
collected under this authority are

Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will

following proposal for collection of

Bureau requests authorization from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to conduct a topical module
during the Wave 11 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 module planned for the
2008 Panel Wave 11 is Retirement and
Pension Plan Coverage. This topical
module was previously conducted in
the SIPP 2004 Panel Wave 7 and the
SIPP 2008 Panel Wave 3 instruments.
Wave 11 interviews will be conducted
from January 1, 2012 through April 30,
2012.
No topical modules are planned for
Waves 12 through 17 of the 2008 Panel.
We plan to continue fielding the core
and reinterview instruments through

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 146 / Friday, July 29, 2011 / Notices
April 2014, which is the last rotation of
Wave 17. Consequently, we do not
anticipate any future OMB submissions
for the 2008 Panel.
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
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.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Every 4 months.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,
Section 182.

I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request
clearance for the forms necessary to
conduct the public employment and
payroll program which consists of an
annual collection of information and a
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

quinquennial collection in a census
environment in years ending in ‘‘2’’ or
‘‘7’’. During the upcoming two years, we
intend to conduct the 2012 Census of
Governments: Employment Component
and the 2013 Annual Survey of Public
Employment & Payroll.
Under Title 13, Section 161 & 182, of
the United States Code, the Secretary of
Commerce is authorized to conduct the
public employment and payroll
program, which collects and
disseminates data by function for fulltime and part-time employees, payroll,
and number of part-time hours worked.
The number and content of the data
items collected are the same in the
annual and census cycles.
The burden hours we will request are
based on the expected 2012 Census of
Governments: Employment Component
mail-out of 99,935 forms and the
expected 2013 Annual Survey of Public
Employment & Payroll mail out of
17,209 forms.
The state and local government
statistics produced cover national, state,
and local aggregates on various
functions with comparative detail for
individual governments for the pay
period that includes March 12. The
public employment and payroll program
provides the only comprehensive count
of employees and payrolls of state and
local governments. Government
employees constitute approximately
one-sixth of the entire U.S. workforce
and their salaries are a major source of
personal income.
The Census Bureau provides this
employment data to the Bureau of
Economic Analysis for constructing the
functional payrolls in the public sector
of the Gross Domestic Product; payroll
being the single largest component of
current operations. The public
employment and payroll program has
increasingly been used as the base for
reimbursable programs conducted by
the Census Bureau for other Federal
agencies such as: (1) The government
portion of the Medical Expenditure
Panel Survey commissioned by the
Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality to provide timely,
comprehensive information about
health care use and costs in the United
States, and (2) the Criminal Justice
Expenditure and Employment Survey,
sponsored by the Bureau of Justice
Statistics (BJS), which provides criminal
justice expenditure and employment
data on spending and personnel levels.
Statistics are produced as data files in
electronic formats. The program has
disseminated comprehensive and
comparable governmental statistics
since 1940.
